Hello all!
First post here even though I've played a couple months now.

I just want to say that I'm from Southern California and the lag is horrendous pretty much all the time. I never have any problems with any other game and I find it ridiculous that I might have to pay WTFast or something similar just to be able to dodge red areas on the ground in game. There are often times that I've clearly dodged the red circle and started casting my next spell only to get hit by the aoe I just dodged mid-cast. Not to mention watching other players teleport across the screen.

I hope they add more data centers or otherwise address this issue because myself and everyone I know who plays from Socal is thinking about quitting. We should not pay a sub and see lag like this.

It's pretty sad that you are so close to the server compared to me and still have to put up with lag. I always wondered why they put the servers all the way up there instead of a hub like Miami or Boston.

There is a huge issue for SoCal players in the game because of a particular hop and TWC (there's like ten million threads about it). It's actually not that close, the data center is on the east side of Canada, which is actually really far for the west coast. (Not saying it's as far as you, but ya).
