Here's a post from the Chief Technology Officer for Sony about slow logins on one of the servers on Planetside 2 on their forums:

Check out the responses.
There's a world of difference between communication at Sony Online, and Zenimax Online Studios.
That's funny because I have no lag in AoC, SWTOR, StarCraft II, Diablo III, BF 4, HALO 4, etc etc etc. Only in this game because ZoS thinks they are the exception to the rule, and don't need servers in the EU for EU players ( and Russian, Asian, And African ) to have minimal lag.If you can't manage a bit of lag you shouldn't play online. Go back to single player. Problem solved
Most of us can handle a bit of lag.If you can't manage a bit of lag you shouldn't play online. Go back to single player. Problem solved
Where are you all playing from? North pole, on a laptop?
I have no lag what so ever except for chat lag and bank lag. in the evenings its tricky to enter Cyradriil, but thats it. Once I am there, I get no lag.
Then again, I have a computer that can handle it. Do you?

Lucky you, most of us have had a huge delay at some point between us pressing the button and the ability actually firing. The thing is Lag is rarely anything to do with your computer, because people make sure their computer can play the game. It's usually down to delays because of internet connections (like you get when your server is on another continent) or server-side issues. Neither of which we can do anything about.I have no lag what so ever except for chat lag and bank lag. in the evenings its tricky to enter Cyradriil, but thats it. Once I am there, I get no lag.
God willing, they've managed to cure some of the server side issues.GossiTheDog wrote: »On the plus side, lag seems better tonight here, post maintenance window.
Playing from the North Pole would cause considerably less lag than playing from the EU as its probably 2/3rds the distance and it would have a direct line to the US instead of jumping between 6 EU countries before even going over the Atlantic cables.Where are you all playing from?

Nah, I have had some of the worst lag EVER tonight, I mean, spikes and abilities not firing off, having to hit my attacks 3 or 4 times , and enemies dying 2 seconds after I did the killing blow. Resource manager said 240ms lag tonight as well.AlexDougherty wrote: »God willing, they've managed to cure some of the server side issues.GossiTheDog wrote: »On the plus side, lag seems better tonight here, post maintenance window.
