Important Information Regarding North American Data Center Relocation

[worldofneil]

Can pretty much guarantee the relocation will be to Las Vegas, NV at Switch.

Do you work for Square Enix and are you involved in this relocation?

If not, sorry, but you're speculating as much as the rest of us.

If what NarikoStar says ends up being true EU gamers on NA server are gonna have a big jump on ping :/

Any chance that this will allow Aether and Primal to mix in DF and PF?

Highly unlikely until Elemental, Mana and Gaia can do the same.

Does anyone know what the latency right now is between UK and Montreal? And what will it be roughly between UK and west coast?

[Aronys]

It depends. Some in UK have 130, some have under 100 right now. And then, some of the servers that we tried to ping on the west coast were from 150-240. It really is uncertain.

Doing some web browsing I found this:

I used to to test and I get a 60ping increase if the server moves west coast. From 130 to 190....

It really does depend on your ISP and what routing they use and even possibly the time of day. Best thing you can do is open a command prompt and then type:

ping 199.91.189.23

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.

Nice page!

I would have from around 115 to 177 if they really are dumb and set servers at west coast! >.>;
Im REALLY afraid they will mess up. Im already playing the whole weekend like its the end of game! .-.

Only 12 hours before servers go down for the move. Whats your plans during the downtime?
