East Coast Servers Please!

[Juanpierre]

Requesting NA East Coast servers for this game please! With the growing popularity, one would think that the high population of players in this part of the world would make it worth the investment. Playing an online game at 100ms ping is pretty rough at times. Please SE! Make it happen! Please!

Agreed I don't bother using rescue because for all I know the guy I'm trying to resuce on my screen is out of the ae already or it takes too long to register anyway and he gets hit. Clipping on double weaves always happens, interrupting spells in pvp is 100% not possible unless I can see into the future since half the cast bar complete on my screen= the spell has already went off. Bio into fester will make it so fester doesn't get bio's bonus because it took too long to apply despite being an instant cast. Could list so many examples.

Back in arr when they were in montreal everything happened when I pressed the button and no one slid and jerked around on my screen.

get a better conenction? using 450mbps here and i never had issues.

andits also a godo way to unearth the east coast west coast BS again. we have almost 20 servers to choose from. also just to rub it... during 2.0 the NA servers were on east coast.. but usa had to tamper tantrum over that so SE had to move them to the middle of nowhere in the usa

Actually no, this is false. The datacenter the servers were in was unsustainable, or they'd likely still be there.

There were in SE's Montreal office. They had reached the power limits of the office space, and could no longer add new hardware. The servers were also old, and they also had frequent issues with level3 outages in the areas during the late afternoon hours causing player disruptions.


Since the move to California, these issues have been lessened to the majority of the player base.

If you weren't around before the server move, you probably don't understand just how bad it was. I had more issues connecting to Montreal from Florida than I did connecting to california.


Also, there's a myth out that that faster internet speed means your internet connection is better in every way. This is not accurate. A lot of high speed connections are routed in specific ways to meet that high speed, introducing high latency to certain areas. Isps do not find it worth the cost to route properly, as it would cost them money and it doesnt effect everyone, so why should they bother. This is the issue with 99.9% of the issues people have with lag in xiv.

Definitely need some East Coast servers. The whole game is laggy. I have actually gotten used to playing it like such, do everything early! Suzaku was a nightmare when i first did it.

We did have one by the East Coast and SE went and moved it to Canada...

Well this isn't entirely accurate.
We had servers in Canada, Montreal specifically, which is kinda close to the US east coast (Canadas east coast is much much further).
They took those out of Canada and migrated them to California, where SE HQ is.

Canada is where they started. They moved to the US. Just... the west coast thereof.

I live on the east coast and the game plays perfectly smooth and I’ve rarely experienced lag.

Prefer centralized server so I could still play with my west coast friends without either of us getting screwed
