FFXIV Servers, are needed ?

[Jynx]

People seriously need to understand it's far less about location and more about the actual servers (That are being worked on as we speak).

[Secret_Reeve]

probably never happen but dual cpu servers, 96+gb ddr3 ram, SSD's to run the data off. would help with latency alot. although tbh, the SSD's are FAR to unreliable and high maintenence for a server. 10krpm HDD, gotta love them.

The lag is extreme to the point of frustration. I think that servers should have been priority #1 all along, rather than hamlet defense and chocobos.


Why build a roof if you don't have a house.

There two different teams, a programmer and artist that make the hamlet defence and chocobos cannot configure servers and network equipment they are completly different, its like me telling somone, "well you have a driving licence, you can drive so why dont you become a racing driver" which are both completly different, just because you can drive doesnt mean you can race cars.

I see this FFXI had about 1-2sec delay when moving when i move my GF see it 1-2 Sec. on hours that there a lot of people that don't change by much. I think FFXIV if 2.0 servers can do that then we don't really need the servers in NA at all this is not a fast speed MMO like wow where you need to have very low ping even for PVP.

I don't understand why you expect the US to be different from Europe. If you're basing this solely on physical distance from Japan, they're practically the same, depending on where you are in either continent. Distance, as others have said, has little to nothing to do with it.

That's because there are many providers who route the signal from the EU to US and THEN to Japan. So yeah, we do have a higher latency than US people.

It's especially frustrating when you hear people talk about #10 chains when yours cut off at #4 because it takes the server up to 10 seconds to register a chain on a laggy day.

Which ever way they route teh data round the world ppl in EU have a higher ping because we are further away from the servers than anywhere else

Now I know it is only one but it breaks your thorey apart you will see yes it jumps when it gets to Japan to a min of 109ms, but then ir gets to SE's ISP and it jumps 100ms, then it gets to the on to SE's network and jumps to 683ms, i'm sure there will be more traces like this which show there is something at SE's end.

Might want to learn how to read a tracert:

That's false, I took the tracert info you posted and checked up your path. You begin in Madrid Spain, get routed to America at hop 10, Vietnam at 16 and your first connection to Japan is at 17 with 289ms.
That's a pretty f***ed up path if you ask me, and if that doesn't bother you as a fellow EU player then all the more power to you.

Edit: Some corrections. If that is indeed your own test, but in either case it stands.
