I'm in EU and yet my character (Legacy) has been put on a JP server, why?

[jimbob1141]

So i played FF 14 a while back, so ive now come back to play ARR and my character is on a JP server? I'm guessing the reason for my character being on a JP server is that it was on a JP server in the old FF14? Though i don't remember ever having a choice in the old FF. Is there anyway i can move to an EU server? or do i have to make another character?

Latency on mob skills is annoying me, move out the way quickly but because of latency it still hits me >.< And is there anyway to check latency?

Just read that they have world transfers starting mid september, guess ill just have to wait for that :P

They moved you to that server at one point and you could change servers, i never received that mail, it seems so haven't you. i'm not gonna pay for a transfer so i just started with a fresh character.

In 1.0, all worlds were located in Japan datacenter.

Until you can transfer no there's no other way .. are you aware though the 'EU' servers are actually in Canada so you'll still get >100 'ping' times.

You can check latency by hovering the mouse over the small 'wifi' icon above the mini-map, 's' and 'r' stand for 'send' and 'receive' times, which aren't directly comparable to traceroute numbers but are a guide.
