    Playing from the US

    Hi. Excuse me if this has been addressed already, but I'm trying to find out if I'll have any issues playing on this server as a US player. Mainly, am I going to have lag/latency issues in dungeons, and am I going to have a hard time finding a primarily English-speaking community to play with. I main PLD, if that counts for anything. Thanks in advance!

    My bestie is from the U.S. and he hasn't mentioned any issues. As for English speaking, there are plenty of FC's that are English. I'd be screwed myself if that wasn't the case lol.

    Hi Kurei, me and a lot of my FC mates are from NA. My bf & I moved over from Gilgamesh & Balmung, no issues whatsoever. My FC has all English speaking members as do MOST of the FC's. We are also looking for more NA players specifically since a good chunk of the core members of the FC are NA players. We're also looking to make a static with NA times so if you get up there in level let me know as well if you are looking to join a FC soon - there's a lot to choose from so you get to make the decision Click Here for FC information our FC is Sovereignty

    And oh hey the first person that replied to you (Elodie-Kitteh/Quistis Trepe) is in my FC o/ Quistis

    When might be a good time to get a hold of you? I'm a NA player and would love the chance to be around some more people in our time zone

    Your problems are going to be latency and timezones. People dismiss this stuff but at some point, it will catch up with you. IMO stick to NA server, moving to an EU data center it's a bad decision.

    Edit: I'm talking from personal experience, I used to play NA TERA and those two thing made me quit the game when I wanted to do high end stuff (near impossible to find statics and the latency make certain encounters a nightmare).

    Latency will depend a lot on where in the US you are, and what ISP you are connected through and how they route packets.
    If you are on the US East Coast, then latency will probably not be much of a problem.
    If you are on the West Coast, then latency might be a problem - but probably not so bad as to make the game unplayable.
