All Worlds Maintenance (Sept. 11)

[Jadi]

Will this address the horrible latency many of us are experiencing? My ping constantly says Send 0 Receive 5000, that shouldn't even be possible.--

Hello Sion,

I am a network engineer and I've worked for some of the top IT companies in the world. (Microsoft, Intel, AT&T etc). FFXIV doesn't display raw network information in a meaningful way to the end user. I believe the client is showing game packets (UDP) and that those are compiled and used as the values shown in Send/Receive. It does *NOT* show rate, in other words the info presented by that does not show you network speed or latency at all.

"Tons and tons of data suggests that people with my issue are being routed too many places to connect."
I don't know how to respond to this because it's pretty much based out of your total ignorance on the subject.

I'll be willing to come as a witness to you lawsuit to inform the court that you have no idea what your talking about.

Furthermore SE does not control the pipe. When your saying too much data is routed too many places.. first off.. its not much data at all. SE has been very good with their network programing and the load is actually very minimal secondly, its routed to one place.. to SE, and SE does not control the route.

I'd check an see if your roommate is on netflix man..

I live in America on the East Coast and its not a big deal at all for me. They can do maintenance at any time they want for all I care.

"4. Commence World transfer service.
In addition to our above plans to improve server stability, we will begin service for World transfers."

We know they are coming, but when? My friends keep waffling about if they should just start new on my server or keep playing their legacy toons they already have because we don't know when transfers will happen. If the transfers are coming soon (say within a week or two) they want to keep what they've already accomplished because they already have their Job, but if it's more like a month or two then they might as well start over on my server now so we can enjoy playing together. So knowing a better target date will help them make up their minds about what to do. Right now they're dragging their feet in hopes the transfers are soon but keep talking about dropping the game because their not having fun on their individual servers.

Please give us a target date, not just a carrot.

Thank you for doing your best, glad to see they are telling us stuff. Keep it up.

Because they live in Japan and its probably better for them to do maintenance (especially when its extended this long) during the day when the are in the office?

I'm sorry, but I do not support asking a JAPANESE company to shift their hours just because we are North Americans/Europeans. At all. And im a US player.
