This is Square-Enix. And apparently, Ormuco is involved as well (did some netstat tracking). Possibly they are hosting the data in Canada, wich actually might explain a lot. Their set up certainly looks impressive enough... 1Gb Tier2 colocation connections, massive drive arrays available and all. But... still... that would mean they may be relying on a third party for data hosting in Canada instead of doing it "in-house" at an EIDOS farm (which SE now owns).

On that note.. I noticed I am still hitting JP servers along with the CA one each time I try to log in. So, that may be a large part of what is going on here (as some of us havealready speculated)--there is an issue synching the CA data center to the JP data center.

Might be time for SE to just let go of the global Co-Op goal and just let it be two separate groups. I know, sounds kinda bad to segregate the East and West like that, but that may be what it takes to truly stabilize the situation for good. I'd hate to loose game time with our eastern friends (had quite a few on my FL in XI), but that may be necessary unless SE wants to put everything back in Japan like it was with FFXI.
