Apparently the Japanese servers have zero issues

[Bagsworth]

Can anyone confirm if this is true?

120% true.

The fact that I linked to two separate threads indicating that they are experiencing the selfsame issues as us was just a clever diversion.

I feel like they just... 'accidentally' shut down those servers for oh, I dunno, 30 minutes, everyone else on Aether could get past Raubahn EX.

I honestly wouldn't mind if they did that. I can find something to do that will easily pass 30 minutes..

I'm on Tonberry and can confirm there have been issues with the MSQ not working and zones lagging and crashing.

Japanese servers are having zero issues you say? That explains why this isn't being fixed

[Xiomara]

No, we had the exact same issues when early access started. Then they made some changes, and people could start to progress through the MSQ. Only reason it looks like more people are progressing is because our DC has a smaller population than the NA dc's.

I cleared the MSQ block, but had to stop because the areas are just too laggy and now I'm stuck in constant 1 hr+ queues to get into the game.

So I wouldn't transfer, because a) don't give SE more money and b) you're going to just experience the same issues as more people transferring will just make it worse.

Eh I'd rather deal with the entry queue than have Raubahn cockblock at every click. At least server queuing is a passive activity; I can do something else while in line.

Edit - And as you can see from my profile I ended up transferring to Tonberry for this.

I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt however, as a Coeurl to Tonberry refugee, that Raubahn here isn't being mobbed (there are like only 4 other people here), and that I MANAGED TO GET INTO THE INSTANCE ON MY FIRST TRY.

Will update when I get to Pippin.

They fixed it in Japan

[Nestama]

I have an alt on Tonberry, similar name. Just got passed the first instance (there was no one crowding around the fellow. It was surreal).

Edited OP to include these findings.

[Bagsworth]

Interesting.

I didn't realize that the Japanese players were all on a single server. Learn something new every day.
