Data Centers/World Locations Info from the LIVE Letter

[Aion]

I think, if you can live with 1.0 latency, there is no reason to change data center/worlds in ARR. this system is provided to cater those who have high latency due their ISP

If only it was that simple right, I'm sure most of my NA friends will leave, Or maybe i should ask my whole NA LS, of 30ppl to stay on the server because i have JP and FR friends on it. Not even sure what my EU friends will do, since their ls was made up of both en, fr and German players. Like i said in a previous post, its not like my friends only play with me, they have other friends and other LS they play with, I can't selfishly ask them to prioritize me

It is that simple. I've known of US players playing on EU servers for games, just like some EU players choose to play on US servers. I've tried it, hated the latency, moved back to a US server. I'm not willing to put up with it, but some are.

It was a suggestion.

I know I'll quit when it stops being fun for me.

Much like saying that someone should die when they are utterly depressed about life sucking.

you know what's really amazing? everyone seems to be assuming that if you don't play on a server near your region you're going to have OMG THE WORST MOST UNPLAYABLE LAG EVER IN THE HISTORY OF EVER OMG.
No. they've rebuilt the code to make it perform better to help reduce the lag. I'm pretty sure it's been noted multiple times that yoshi-p played on a japanese server at gamescom.

Also, those arguing "Just tell people to stay on your server and if they don't they're not really your friends"....
My god, I have never heard logic as flawed and idiotic as this. Are you really that self-absorbed as to not see that that's not-at-all as easy as you make it out to be? please, please remove your heads from your behinds before you hurt yourself.

Yes its cross world. But if it works like any other MMO, they make groups based on the region data centers. They will group all the JP servers together, NA servers, and EU servers.

Take a chill pill.

So, we not sure if it is for all world or just regional we already start crying? QQ

They didn't say what servers will be linked for cross server content finder. But I am saying is that other MMOs link servers in the same data center for cross server play. Its easier for them to set up with the servers being in the same place. Now I am not saying SE will do this but its what every other MMO does that has this feature.
