It can get pretty dead for a few hours at like 5-6 in the morning EST, but other than that, it's usually fine.
Quote:I have also noticed very alarming latencies at intervals on Balmung compared to where I started (Hyperion). Connection is often labeled as "poor" when I connect, and I am not sure what to think of that... I only played 2 evenings on Balmung for now, and i'm a bit annoyed at that. I already faced a few instances on Hyperion where the lag was so terrible that I was barely able to do one action out of two properly... Rather crippling since I play heal.
Is it normal, or just tied to my being in Europe?Â
Kind-of both. Squeenix doesn't have very good servers it seems, and on top of that Balmung is severely overloaded. Things like mass-lag and shared disconnects are becoming frequent as of late. Though I would also chalk at least some of it up as being due to distance.
Either-way, welcome!
