After doing my research & checking census Final Fantasy XIV did double is active sub in NA especially with success of Stormblood. New Players keep continue coming to this game.

For further growth of this game SE please, when dealing with your current ISP for next contract in NA can you consider to add east coast server so we can even out with west coast in terms of performance on this game.I know it looks like greedy request & gonna get criticized but logically is next step for health & continuity growth of this game esp for NA.North America ain't small like Japan or Europe in terms of landscape it might need a little more help but it worth it in terms $$$.There no way this year for sure but late 2018 or before new expansion will be a good opportunity to do it IF you do it.
