hmm probably you guys are right, you can play an mmo with 300ms ... but i have to say that i played wow at high level (stopped before cataclysm to come here on ff14 .. and yes before i played XI for about 5 years ) and for some very hard content like the Lich King hard mode for example, 300ms of ping don't help you.. but this because WoW it's really reaaallyy more frenetic than FF (XI/XIV ) and requires a lot of speed and precision in the movement.. So i think 300ms it's ok (even if at the actual state i think that XIV has about 500+ to me ) but not for every mmo ... Sometimes i miss the wow'a semi-istant response from server.. it would really help ff14 to be less annoying (again sorry for my lollish english ... a rime :P )
