More lags after creating data centers

This is most likely the case at the moment. Though if their servers weren't hosted about as far away from all major centers as possible it would help.

Meh, the gameplay is chunking, one of the pipes between me and the servers is pretty full a lot of the time, feels like they've added the bare minimum of capacity at the servers. The same way Coil gets full on Tuesdays on Tonberry, we're going to get chunky performance in other areas simply due to being a higher population world. Unfortunately this seems like the status quo for Tonberry.

Seems a lot better for me especially on Titan EX and HM.

has been said time and time again on the forums (after 2.0), people still won't admit it, they say it's all on SE :x

Because it is. Before 2.1 came out, I had zero issues. After it comes out I get lag spikes in Duty Finder. The only variable that changed was SE data center reshuffle. And yea, I'm not the only one: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Fast-Forwarded

I'm getting significantly more lag since the patch on Lamia. My connection used to be Excellent about 80-85% of the time pre-patch. Now I never get above Good, and it's dipped to Poor once or twice.

Seriously I've been lagging non-stop in-game. Every since the Dec 11 update, i've been getting awful graphical lag as well as server lag from the Dec 17 update. It's driving me nuts.

With every update recently something bad happens.

The game is still a lagfest, depending on where you are.
Here in Socal for instance it's incredibly bad.

Socal? Southern California? That'd be news to me...

There are like ten million threads about the socal issue.

For good reason. Just about every other AAA MMO provides at least two data centers, on both the west and east coasts of America. AT LEAST.
Sqenix half assed it and took the cheap way out with one data center located in Vancouver.
That means people in California have to send packets 1/4 of the way around the planet to reach the server. And it's even worse for some people who are unfortunate enough to be even further away.

i'm from germany. don't have any issues with lag.
