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

Pretty big slap in the face to any East coast players.

Kick in the crotch to any EU players who have been on NA.

And sad situation for any west coasters who are friends with, or raid with either.

I hope the short flight from Japan is worth it.

I'm going to assume they wouldn't just change sides of NA to slap some people, there must be a total benefit. As there would be no reason to upset the player-base just for laughs, seeing as Yoshi-P made a post on the benefits this new server will allow them I'm going to say some parts we won't feel right away but that they've deemed the reward for the greater population worth.

Although I would add that the original server move was rather pointless (feeling) for many west coast tests I saw, including my own, since it was the same ping quality for the same. "yaaay, an NA server" lol. So this new move may actually lead to something I can feel, besides the points Yoshi-P already listed (that are not just repsonse time). Maybe we're going to take turns enjoying 10MS pings now. Next expansion we switch :P
