    High ping means more delay (lag) -- your view on reality (the server = reality) is further behind everyone else's; ever been hit by AE you were SURELY outside? Your client knew, but the server didn't and so you got hit.

    Packet loss is FAR worse. It's the same as having your connection cut. That's when your entire raid freezes while you get to run about, but all the server saw was you standing there stupidly doing nothing while the AE blasted you over and over.

    It's simple to design around poor ping. It's more difficult to deal with packet loss, especially with player/player interaction (eg. any pvp or pve healing). Most games assume losses will mostly be tiny and non-critical -- movement data, for instance, will be quickly corrected because the next packet will have another new position. FFXIV seems to be no exception; even moderate PL makes it unplayable.

    Judging ping times before the servers are up running and probably even optimized is probably not going to give you anything close to accurate results. Just sayin...

    Can someone explain to the laymen out here what exactly is considered in a ping? I am in Indiana, play on aether, and I just speedtested to Sacramento and I was at 79 ping? I would have thought it would be a lot worse than that??

    it's how long it takes for a packet of data to get from you to the server and back. but being in indiana you are probably close to the chicago backbone which is a big chunk of fibre basically that moves it to Cali pretty fast.

    Hello fellow Hoosier! o/ I got pretty much the same ping when I did the speedtest to Sacramento.
