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

lol Welp... I never felt I had ping trouble from the ones in Canada.

Hopefully CA to TX will not be any different.

As a Californian I say: Sweet!

Just awesome...if this becomes unplayable in raid environment for EU players like me I might outright quit...
Here's still hoping, but my hopes are getting really low

Of course they wouldn't put it in a centralized location like Chicago or Dallas. Why was I expecting anything different?

I hope they offer free transfer PLUS money EARNED for over 3 years for EU members wanted to move to a European server.because I have played with 189 ping and you can feel the lag.

They offered EU users free transfers when they moved the EU data center, it would be stupid not to offer the same for NA users.

[CyrilLucifer]

Perfect for me.

No complaints.

You shouldn't expect them to know any better. A lotttt of foreigners think traveling from california to texas is like pulling into a walmart, but it really isn't. Heck driving from San Diego, CA to Sacramento is still a hell of a drive probably 12ish hours.

I no longer have an excuse in getting knocked off Titan anymore.

[Mitsuma]

Because they updated the DNS records that point to them already.

Can you tell me what site you used?
Using all kinds of DNS Lookup websites or even simple "ip location" websites I get different locations, mostly around Chicago/Detroit/Kentucky area, one in Colorado.
Haven't found anything that leads to California.

...and here I expected the midwest; guess you can't expect all developers to make sensible decisions like that. Looks like you won that one, Raikki. lol

I'd rather have lost that wager, but it's understandable even though it sucks for a lot of us. It's a Japanese company (NTT), similar to how the Chaos datacenter is hosted by a Japanese company (KDDI); it's more conveniently accessible from Square's US headquarters; and it's a much easier trip if they need to send people over from Japan.
