I've just started playing recently, got a level 32 white mage on the go, but I'm starting to become a bit tired of struggling to find people that speak English on the EU server that I'm on (Cerberus).
I'm considering re-rolling on a different server before I get any deeper with the character. I intiially wanted to join Odin (EU) because I hear that's got the largest population of English speakers in the EU, but the game will never, ever let me create a character over there. It's always closed to new toons.
I'm now thinking og trying out a US data center instead, and was wondering if any of you guys have any opinions on this sort of thing? Do any of you having any experience with using a 'foreign' data center? Does it have a significant impact on gameplay such as additional lag, desyncing, rubber-banding etc etc?
It's safe to say that it likely wouldn't be optimal, but I'm curious as to the potential extent before I start investing more time trying, only to change my mind again.
I understand Ultros is pretty much the home of the Giant Bomb Company, so that might be cool. However that server is currently not accepting new characters either, as of writing this. I'd be prepared to keep trying though, if the overseas lag isn't going go too unbearable...?
I just want to find a home!
