Why No Issues In Japan

[DrForester]

Why are there 25 servers for all of Japan, and only 25 servers TOTAL for North America and Europe?

You've been issuing pre-order codes, you knew how many people to expect, you knew there would be a lot more people playing from NA and EU than from Japan.

So I want to know why more than adequate preparations were made for the Japanese servers, and nowhere near enough preparations were made for the NA/EU group.

NA/EU servers haven't been stress tested at all. And having so little servers in the start for so many people is just...well...stupid...

[Fear]

They should of probably gave NA and JP equal servers + add another 8-10 for EU as a start and see how it goes, but we def. need more servers on the NA/EU datacentre and transfers to get people off legacy worlds, or make a new legacy world and offer transfers to it.

Honestly I don't know if you noticed, but since EA started, we peaked harder than JP at times they weren't expecting. They problems they've been "fixing" they apply to the JP servers now at the same time, so its like we're fixing the JP servers for them before they break.

yep. Shoulda expected the rest of the world... -.-; it is sad.

I think we are all missing a wonderful opportunity here and no one has seen it:

What if we all jump ship to the Japan servers?


(Incidentally, I also wonder what moron they hired for server logistics:

"-Okay, Japan-EU-and the Americas, what do you got?
-Dude, relax and hit this while I tell you my plan: Japan is isolated, we'll combine EU and Americas. And we'll give these two groups the same amount of servers.
-Wait... you want to leave a country with barely any land mass with as many servers as the entire western world, comprising most of the cultivated land on Earth?
-Exactly, Bro. Hang on, let me eat a shroom. Oh! That gives me a great idea. We'll just throw all the servers for EU into Canada... Canada is closer to Europe than Europe is, right? Right on US Geography courses!
-...yeah, okay. This logic checks out with me."

HAH... love it

I created a character on Typhon in P4 and switch to him when the NA/EU servers are down.
It is ironic that every time I go there, over half of what seems to be maybe 500 people on that server are NA/EU
Thats a lot of real estate that isn't being used at all!

Japan based servers have been in use since FFXI. The NA based servers are a new thing for this game. So basically they've had 11 years to optimize the Japan servers and no idea what NA servers would be like.

What is this an alien planet? Should they not be equivalent to an extent?
