UK people constant R0?

What would be the solution then when European servers have issues? >.>

I'm not talking about the servers.

When the distance between two places increase, so does the chance of problems occuring within the infrastructure connecting the two. Shorter distance (fewer nodes) reduce chances, that's just how it is. Nothing is guaranteed in this world, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't minimize the chances of bad stuff happening.

It's not the "server" who have issues, but the path your line is taking to reach SE's servers which is completely different.

If we get EU servers, they will most likely be located in the UK since European SE is in the UK. So UK players wouldn't have any routing issue, because UK>UK is fine.

Not just the UK. Connectivity issues within Europe are pretty rare between countries too. For me to reach UK servers, I would go through a lot fewer network nodes than if I want to reach JP nodes. It's pretty obvious that if I need to pass through 100 network devices, there is a lot higher chance of one of them having a problem than there is if I only need to pass through 15.

Yeah I know EU>UK would be good as well, but this is a UK thread so, taking that as reference

In my LS a lot of UK people had issues. Rest of EU people were fine.

Before it turns into another "we need regional servers" thread, EU here too and no problems so far. An EU ls mate was having r0 all day yesterday though.

Different ISPs have different routing agreements. It is entirely possible that one European ISP doesn't make use of the malfunctioning node that a different ISP did use.

As said, it's a chance that's always there for every user in the world, but the closer you are to whatever you're connecting to, the fewer problems you will have, statistically.

I am UK and not had any problems, just lots of crashes after the last patch.

Uk was hitting a huge lag wall in France when I did a trace over to a JP server, and several in the region a few hours ago so meh.
Probably just a connection issue, for a change I don't blame SE...
The lag on the other hand well yes that is SE having servers in JP but what ya gona do ay..

On regional servers, I would prefer it in some ways, but I like the diversity and servers always being active.
Def wouldn't want region locked servers though.
Hmm... Regional servers just for some content based on where most people in the group are... wonder if that's workable.

I was kicked out of an ifrit run right before we won, most annoying, but only happened to me once.

[Eruantien]

ya happened to me too. BT connection here, connection was fine except to game, kept getting timeout error's.

[CanteJondo]

yup I was r0ing a great deal yesterday. from UK on virgin ISP
