Doing overtime the whole next week, but at least I can take off when SB goes live in June and since the servers are down anyway, there's not much I am missing out on, right? lol What are your plans?

I don't even think we will hear about the location, would just have to trace the new servers and see where they ended up, but as I mentioned pages ago, I doubt it will be near or close to the west coast. I would welcome it since I live in CA, but out of experience I know that a move of gaming servers to CA wouldn't be the best decision, and before someone says it's ping related, that is not the reason but I don't wanna go completely off topic. We will just have to wait and see.

Tomorrow is my birthday, I planned to play all day. I also have Tuesday off to play all day. This was planned months ago... who wants to work on their birthday.

Now I'm apparently going to read, or /shudder go outside.

I have D&D on Monday, so that's gonna be my evening, and on Tuesday, I'll probably be playing Persona 5 on my new PS4 Pro. :)

Really hope these changes don't mean people with bad internet won't be able to play the game =\

That's Sargatanas, but it's in the Montreal data centre so that's all that really matter. It'll do 4 pings and show you the average. Personally I'm getting 89ms, friends of mine on different ISPs gets ~95ms (not really much in it). West coast (if it even goes there) no way to really check as we don't know for sure where it is/what networks it'll be connected to so we'll just to have wait.

anyone know how to ping ffxi servers? i wanna see something

Foxclon tweeted arriving in San Francisco so maybe as well as media tour, they are also there to watch over the move?

So west coast it is :-(

Hopefully this will finally be the end to Aether Data center's Random Error 90k's got annoying as *CENSORED* all last year while running any dungeon that at times just queing would crash me or entering a dungeon would.
