West Coast Significantly Effected By Server Distance

[Maplekoya]

I love how Americans are only just having to deal with this while the rest of the world have had issues like this since internet gaming started! Producers would never spend the money to place a server in every country, it's just one of them things that we have to deal with and have been for so many years, and I think it's time America joined us.

Because it's rare for the majority of Americans to play a game outside his or her own country as they usually get their own localized versions (eg:Aion/L2/Tera/Vindictus/Maple etc). This latency lag is sudden news to a lot of new internet users but in fact it has been around since the internet was first invented.

I played Tera EU with 400ms and I watched the forums where they were complaining that if they played on the NA servers, they would get 100ms and it would be the end of the world for them.

Wrong choice of words perhaps, rather than a complaint it was more of a counter argument. The community was comparing and deciding if they should move to NA and there were quite a few that said ping would make the game unplayable with 100+ms and would be better to stick to EU even thou NA has better features.

Back on topic, I was referring mainly to Americans as by looking at some of the threads here on ARR's forums, it looks like quite a number of people have never had latency issues and are extremely shocked about it. It is also possible that to some, this is their first MMO.

It's more that most of the difficulty of ARR is dodging quickly. In FFXI you could go WC and come back and nobody would know lol...

Yea, but they were talking about TERA the "first true action MMO", as they call themselves.
Dodging is much more intense there than here.
