So I'm not sure I'm posting this in the right spot but I saw some threads on extreme lag on some servers and I'm hoping that's what's happening here. I switched over from Phoenix yesterday to Leviathan. I'm in the US and was attempting to move to a NA server.

The first thing I noticed was the server time on Leviathan was 6 hours ahead of me. I'm in CST and I know that most of Europe is roughly 6 hours ahead.

The second thing I noticed was the lag. Even more lag than I'd had on Phoenix prior to the transfer. I was in a fate party and while trying to follow the members around, I'd experience them freezing then jumping forward quite a ways. In one battle, I died because the whole thing froze for me, but the timer on the fate still went and it responded when I used my shortkeys so I know it was lag and not the game.

I thought Leviathan was a NA server since it shows up as one of the worlds "recommended to players in North America." but based on the server time and the lag... Was I wrong? Did Leviathan move to Europe too? And if so, did I waste my free world transfer because Square Enix doesn't know how to label their own worlds? Or is it just lag related to all the server changes?

I'm really unsure what to do now... The lag hasn't let up at all and is getting really frustrating... I don't even dare do any dungeons because I know I won't be able to dodge anything. Any ideas?
