I've been reading a lot of posts on here. Stop being such lemmings. There is no problem in complaining about the fact that they do not have North American servers. This might explain why this game is a laggy mess a lot of the time. This business model is a mess.

Do not say SE shutting down their servers is such a wonderful thing to do...please...they are required to do it by the government. For those saying if you don't like it go play something else...obviously you've never ran a company. That is the last thing SE would say. For example...Blizzard does NOT run World of Warcraft out of America alone. They have servers all around the world. It improves connection speed and reliability. While my heart goes out to the people in Japan, my dislike for the way this game is being run has NOTHING to do with this tragedy.

I personally will take this week to remind myself how other games are run. Perhahps I'll get to experience a few of the newer games out there and realize that, in fact, FFXIV really is as bad as everyone says.

Just stop being such pansies and attacking those who question things. We DO NOT have to just go along. We're customers and have a right to complain about this. If you want to support their decision then good...go off and start knitting. World of Warcraft is an American game...but it is run out of several countries and it is now obvious why it is the number 1 MMO and probably will be for quite a long time - Smart business decisions.
