To the Dev: Fix your damn instance servers

[Jinko]

The issue here is really money, they need more hardware. The instance servers were already running with noticeable lag at peak times, so in SE's genius they redid the core of the instance servers' programming letting them cram more instances onto the same amount of servers to reduce wait times, that gave us more noticeable lag, all the time. Instead of trying work arounds they need to just cough up some money and actually put more back into this game, but I am sure they are sitting there thinking that with almost all mmo's subscriptions will drop after the first year, so they may not have enough servers now, but in 6 months time if subs drop, it may be more than sufficient then. To me there is no excuse for this, they have made more than they thought they would, and they still try to coax people out of $48 more a year on retainers, but what can you expect, it is SE, and their greed runs deep.

Heh, ironic that if the subs do drop this will be part of the reason why.

The lag isn't noticeable during EU times, its only when the US players start to come online that we get issues >.>

Separate EU servers please !! Spend those monies.... (I bet Japan isn't suffering as bad as this)

If I was SE this would make me think: A) "damn maybe nuking threads about lag isn't fixing the problem"
B) "Just maybe this lag really is a problem because people just won't shut up about it"

Personally I would be okay if it was some ordinary random lag like you tend to get with every MMO.
However this is by FAR the worst lag I've ever seen in any MMO PSO included. Also the fact that it makes all of the endgame completely broken is an issue too great to just ignore.

And it's already been confirmed as an issue that they are working hard to fix...
It does not affect everyone...
Had various parties (with FC people) this weekend and while I didn't get any sort of lag myself, others in my party did. In the same instance... http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...tain-Instances

Not sure how that works together, but there it is... I had zero issues, other party members had lag issues...
