FFXIV Servers, are needed ?

[Jennestia]

SE themselves said there's a problem with their servers and ISP settings on their end.

XI had japan based servers and it worked

Which is why we all know it can be done, there are just some people that fail to see it.

I get the feeling very few people read the OP of this thread. Yes it was written in poor english but the main point was a concern for unfairness in PvP and NM claims, EUvsNAvsJP based on server distance.
Noone is saying the latency won't be better after SE release 2.0.
Check the link posted to the other thread about tracert tests and you'll see quite a big jump in ms between eu and na players, plus the jp with 10 ms overall..

Oh and noone is forcing you to play on a regional server if you'd rather play with your overseas friends on a international server, so it seems pointless to argue against it.

Indeed, however PvP is a non existent feature in FFXIV and won't be introduced until the servers are fixed which there won't be an 'unfairness between euvsnavsjp' because faulty servers alone is the main problem plaguing latency, not the server location or any of that.
