Data Centers/World Locations Info from the LIVE Letter

Hey um.

Not sure where I indicated I was upset. I'm not QQing over this. I'm merely explaining the argument over the other side, and not pretending I don't understand why they would be upset about this. Point your guns elsewhere, chica.

If the case, which seems to be as you stated, you still stated a good quote to use to express my idea. lol.

Total agreement. i cant tell all my JP friends to move over to a NA server so I and I alone can have better latency while making them lag. That wouldn't be right at all.

Therefore, if you have that many JP friends, you won't change servers.

What I don't think people are realizing is that the current servers won't immediately change, based on what YoshiP is saying. It will be your choice to move off the current worlds or not.

"I and I alone can have better latency" uhhhh selfish much? If you are the single person out... you should be the one sacrificing not them. (might want to word that better honestly)

.............um..... yea thats why i said i couldnt ask them to do that, it would be selfish. Read and quote the whole thing..

What are the Japanese Players saying about this on their forums?

[Faiyez]

IRL i have one server called 'America' and it still has many different languages spoken in it, just primarily english. My friends can speak different languages. I also dont get buthurt when someone speaks a language I dont know.

Implying I do.

I am fully bilingual and I'm working on a third one.

It still doesn't affect my support for improvements to the game environment.

This is so sad.

Had a great JP pick up group early this morning to help me with Cure for the Common Pox. Really love the international feel of servers.

Never again. :'(

Going to wait to see if this change means moving 'existing' servers outside of Japan or if its only for new ones. They cut out most the lag/latency as is without needing to change over to a new data center then I really don't see how the community is going to get segregated (the current community) as most friends I know would rather stay with what they know then transfer into a completely new server just to experience marginally less lag. Furthermore we already have a segregated server in game already... or does Ragnarok no longer exist suddenly? What were people expecting to have happen when they mention trying to make server data centers in other regions, that somehow they could entangle all 3 servers to some kind of single entity thus bypassing physics?

We have known since 2.0 was announced regional and international servers were coming, we already have one in 1.0 now. Unless the data change is staggering reduction in lag I really have a hard time believing people will just get up and leave their current servers and if they do it is because it was something they wanted all along to begin with, they wanted regional servers, they wanted to play with more people in their time zones. Just assume the current servers are the international servers and then let people choose a regional one if that is their choice. There is no way you could please both parties on this subject.

God all of you, the population has become so annoying the last few weeks that I wish you'd all be gone...

That said, let them just add an "unknown region" server and let all of you join that one.

Make new friends people, fairly simple concept. If the extent of your friendship was about wearing the same LS pearl, or finishing CC/AV together, your "friendship" is pretty shallow. JP's got Facebook, euro's got Facebook, yank's got facebook, etc.

[Faiyez]

When I complained about lag, I wanted SE to fix their servers and cut the server-side action response only crap.

They can't do it and this was the next best solution.
