I plan to move to local regional server, just to be on a level playing field of lag. It has nothing to do with isolating myself from an international community of players; I’ve met some great people from all over the Final Fantasy world. I just want the best possible client server response rates I can get.

They may have fixed server response rates from v1.0, but still the closer your server the quicker the response. There will be days when new content is released and everyone logs in at the same time.

I’ll keep an eye on the web pages of some of the folks I’ve hung out with in v1.0 to see where they’re going, we may land in the same place. New game so it’s a chance for a new beginning; exciting times!
