A European datacenter!

[Skarith]

I don't want a European datacenter. I want a European datacentre. If it's gonna be in Europe, it should have the English spelling of the name, not the American one.

I'm half american, leave me alone x)

Tell you what, if they did have servers in Germany we would have had a launch as smooth as butter. They are so incredible efficient at handling data centres. Although for my own selfish reasons I would want them in the UK.

German efficiency is a much propagated myth. If the servers had been in Germany, log-ins would not have been restricted, the servers would have died under load, support tickets would still not have been answered today and there would be around 70000 forms for SE to fill out before they can add more capacity. Germany is now a land in the firm grip of bureaucracy, the efficiency is long gone.

Dota 2 - f2p game, i can even play it in NA servers without any lag.

The lag I get to US-E servers in DotA2 is a lot more noticeable, than lag in this is; at least for me (ping <100 to SE datacentre, >100 constant ping in dota2). Of course game speed matters, but not all that much when we're talking about reaction-based skills.

100k Internet, still get hit by stuff i shouldn't. Still see, when Ifrit knockes every Melee back that everyone besides me, gets knocked back a second or two later than me. Thats annoying in fairly easy content but i am certain it ruined a few chimera trys for us.

With the amount of euro players, i would find a data center for us just fair. I wouldn't care if they were in Germany, France, England or Poland.

But really the EU servers for a P2P game should be located IN EU, we are paying for them after all!

This, why should we pay the same amount of money (or even more) than american or japanese players and have to bare with this constant lag ?

I'm getting 104ms ping to the Cerberus server, from the UK. 102ms to Leviathan. Usually for online games I would like the ping <60ms but this is an RPG game but still.. if the EU servers were located IN the EU somewhere those pings would be at least cut in half, if not by a lot more.

My ping test to some UK servers yesterday was around 10ms so my connection is fine. I was totally shocked to find out the the EU servers were in Canada. I guess we EU people should either have to pay less or have the servers located over here so we can get the same quality of service as the rest of the world has.

Even if the servers were hosted on the east coast of US my pings to there are as "low" as 80ms so it would still be an improvement. But really the EU servers for a P2P game should be located IN EU, we are paying for them after all!

I personally believe that SE will only consider it, once they see how many europeans actually sub after the free 30(37) days!

Living in Sydney, getting hit by AOE most of the time is normal (unless I get lucky).

It's ironic that Riot, makers of League of Legends (a free-to-play game), can open a datacentre in Australia but SquareEnix can't do the same for a subscription-based game.

there must be more than enough EU players looking this. i myself have this issue and i live in the UK. we need Ragnorak to move closer to us,

[XinMu]

Same here, always get hit by some AOE which seems dodged by me. We need a data center in EU!
