[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

However, my SO is in the US and if I make him move to EU he wouldn't get to enjoy the game. (he tested it and got around 250-300 ms on EU server). And if I stay then I would be the one who wouldn't get to enjoy the game.
We both preordered Stormblood and have been excited to play together. Now I honestly don't know what to do and it's killing me inside that things went the way they did.

I can feel your pain. After my XI friends stopped playing XIV i thought about switching servers. I started to buy resellable stuff. Then i found new friends in my current FC and i really feel "home". Of course they are all americans.


Now it feels like i have to decide between the love for final fantasy or the love for these ppl. That is just not right. I should not be in the position where i have to chose between friends and ping. And right now i think that i would rather quit the game. It is heartbreaking

If SE would make cross server friendships (across all data centers) and allow us to play everything together, not just cross server dungeons.. Just like Blizzard did with WoW. You can be on 3 different servers with 4 ppl and you can still play together what ever content you want.
