Data Centers? (Yes or No Poll)

[Punainen]

Definitely yes. I don't end up playing with other language players very often anyway, and its easier to play with people whom I can easily communicate with, so no complaints about how it will definitely cause language majorities. And less lag is a GIANT improvement. So 100% yes yes yes.

All the players i play even if there from outside of NA know ENG and the few people that i'm friends are in my linkshell so they coming to the same world so i don't see why not.

[Evangelus]

Definitely yes.

Wth, what i hope for is REGIONAL SERVERS that iis a mirror of the REALM/WORLD, so that we get connected to closest Datacenter, but still in same international servers, but the REP is saying different thing! WTH do i see two side arguing, when the 3rd side is asking for something completely different!

What majority would want is REGIONAL SERVERS + SAME REALM + NO REGION LOCK,
What was propose REGIONAL SERVERS + DIFFERENT REALM + NO REGION LOCK, get it?

What we hope for
example;
BALMUNG server mirrors = NA Regional server + EU Regional server + JPN Regional server
SARGATANAS server mirrors = NA Regional server + EU Regional server + JPN Regional server
MASAMUNE server mirrors = NA Regional server + EU Regional server + JPN Regional server

but what was propose
Example;
Balmung EU
Sargatanas = NA
Masamune =, JPN

Having player data replicated across 3 separate servers clusters, and having all 3 of those be viable entry points for connections (3 perfectly in sync r/w locations) presents such a ridiculous programming challenge that I don't know of any examples of it in the world.

EDIT: Maybe not in non-gaming software...

I do not liek the idea of regional (NA, EU, ASIA, COeanic) servers, perhaps language based (english speaking, Dutch, JApaneese/Asia) but We have people from EU that are english and french speakers, and NA ENglish/Spanish speakers that play together and don't want to split up). Proper data serves can limit lag and let us stay together. How FF online is meant to be.

May want to check into CLoud data serving, and Fast C centers, it is already used.

170 yes vs 83 no atm.

I guess, we have a winner, even without considering that the new incoming players
will ofcourse chose regional too.

[Arkh]

Yes... come on lol
Do we really have to talk about this? Do you guys want 2.0 to bring player and money to SE or not?

2012, regional server are a MUST. How do you guys hope to play the new gameplay whit 350+ ms? Bah.... madness...

In FFXI having 100-300ms was ok due to the fact the game is very slow there was not really you have to run away from and the mobs take forever to cast a spell if you do have to run. In FFXIV like ifrit his warning does not help because he does it 1sec later in ffxi we had what? 10-15+sec to run? so ya i have to agree 50-80ms vs 200-300ms it's a easy to pick from.

FFXIV is faster then FFXI so less lag the better.
