    Revolutionary fix idea!

    Getting ready for work this morning, browsing a few forums to soothe my raging mind, I had an epiphany:

    NA/EU servers are having a great deal of complications.
    JP servers are more-or-less running fine.

    ...why not copy all of the hardware configuration and/or non-text/dialogue from the JP servers to the NA/EU?
    Mind = blown.

    If you're building two identical vehicles, and one looks slightly off, you'd probably reference the working one rather than scramble to "wing-it" with the busted one, right?

    (Note: This is sarcastic displeasure shown through ignorant enlightenment - I understand server fixes aren't that simple, but generally when you have a working model, you can reference that to fix a broken one... That's all I'm really saying)

    You know what's a larger pain in the a$$? Losing a great deal of your eu/us customer base and then your job.

    The main issue is the fact we have more users hitting the servers those server aren't ready for our hardcore play style lol when you have 2000 people spamming / monkey humping the npc has an effect too lol

    You assume that the servers and software are somehow different between JP and NA/EU datacenters, which is likely a false assumption.
    You haven't seen the same issues on the JP datacenter only because the load on the worlds there have been less.

    They probably need to expand the datacenter, but they likely need to stabilize the lobby/duty clusters before it's worth doing that.
