[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

It's a pointless thread, they know exactly what they did and what is causing their issues.
I wish they would keep aether west and move primal back east aaaa

Good on Square Enix for moving the NA servers from Montreal to Sacremento. I was previously getting 120ms and after the server relocation, I'm getting sub 30ms ping (it's great because I can double weave without clipping with my new latency!).

I just don't understand why so many people are complaining when so many west coast players have been dealing with the Montreal servers for years.

You have to deal with it and adapt, don't be so entitled. =)

Would have to come with free transfers for players and FCs, though I don't begrudge Square the extra drama caused by the potential splitting of communities that might come out of that.

Before: ~20 ms
After: ~40 ms

Not a big deal at all. I do genuinely feel bad for everyone who had a huge increase though. :c

Your old ping was playable - if you went from 120ms to 180ms you wouldn't be happy. And that's the problem right now people have gone from 100ms to over 200ms....

Before - 110
After - 48

Have you guys ever thought about posting in this thread?

If possible, would you be able to show your traceroute, I'm very curious as to what route you are taking to only have a double increase in ping.
