End of the day your isp still has to connect to them, and if your ISP has poor routing protocols or is just plain bad to begin (which mine is unfortunately as one day they decided to block all connections to FFXI for no other reason than "it's a third party") then the performance will still suffer, such as the people in the thread i posted getting p2p throttling on the game. My point of posting is that having an EU data centre isn't a magical fix to everyones problems.

No denying in that, im just saying that yes, we know the major game lag issues and non-responsiveness its common to all zones and its thanks to crappy server and client coding, but with our without the other issues, europe needs datacenters cause even those extra MS make the difference.

I can agree with you on that, one thread a person has made about responsiveness and aoe's hitting people when it shouldn't has been moved to the accepted bugs section. So maybe once that's been addressed it "hopefully" will make things better for some EU players for now, as i'm not sure if square will part with the money for EU servers till a bit down the road of 2.0's life when they are sure of a steady income.

And there lies a problem i don't know if i will subscribe. I do love the game but if these latancy issues aren't solved when the real raiding dungeons come out i am out of the game. It is annoying as hell even fighting the primals on normal let alone when i am 50 how it is on hardmode. So waiting further in the time line doesn't help because a lot of people has quit by then.
