Regional Servers: Can we be a bit more specific please?

[Vivik]

Yeah, but then the majority of people we played with would be speaking in those crazy made-up languages they use on the continent. If there's one good thing we can say about our American overlords, it's that they (nearly) speak the right language.

Calm your tits, mate.




Did I do good?

Not sure. My brain read that in an Australian accent.

I'm live in England and I'm getting 118 ping to Montreal and 330 to Japan. If we had a datacentre in europe it'd be much lower, Germany for example gives me a ping of 64.

But you wont have issue with PVE at the end o.o so i don't see the issue. You not going to have that issue you had in ifrit in ARR. The servers are coded right this time around no longer requesting more information per action like it did in 1.0.

The only issue people are saying that could be would be PVP but if you going to play in a EU base world then everyone would be the same latency. But if you play PVP with JP that would out do the EU/NA if the latency really is that a big of a problem in a MMO for PVP and i really don't think it's going to be.

I'll work on it some more. With all this sunshine it's hard to pretend to be from England.

From GER to JP: ~300ms
From GER to NA (Montreal): ~156ms

Can live with that º•º

I have not seen anyone on the Oceanic area post any results.

Here you go!

From: Brisbane, Australia
JP: ~215ms
NA: ~240ms
EU: ~310ms

Some people in Oceania have been getting lower ping then myself on the JP servers, however my ISP pings to JP fairly high (even though it is the most popular ISP in AU). I must be getting routed through somewhere.

Other people on my ISP (Telstra) have reported similar ping.

Why don't we just call it what it is. The JPs got what they wanted and got their own servers. Sure, you can play on them from the US or EU but nobody would.

The one thing I enjoyed about FFXI was the cultural diversity of the servers. Now instead of changing some game mechanics we segregate the world from each other. Pretty sad imo...

Agreed, I really liked that aspect.

How many canadian ff14 players are there lol. They should have put a server in the actual states man my ping is almost same to jp and to canada almost no change. Isnt that why there is a server in EU for Eu players why hell would anyone put a server in canada lol should have atleast put in somewhere in middle of USa

[Famrid]

From the west of France to Montréal Ping=100 ms (with an adsl 2+ connection), vs 297ms to jp before. Ping /3 i'm fine with this .

Just wanted to let those know who are still wanting to enjoy that International Server experience, but are concerned that there may not be English speaking people to play with, that our Distant World Linkshells last night (we had 4 of them in order to include them all our community members during 1.0), has decided to Remain on Masamune. So there will be a NA/EU presence remaining on Masamune! Have no fear..

"Masamune" was the name of the greatest blacksmith known in Japan, so let's forge the greatest international server that there is!
