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

The amount of overreaction in this thread...

I've been an east coaster who, over the course of several MMOs, has chosen to play on west coast servers. Unless I manually checked the ping times, I never noticed a lag difference between east and west coast servers. Internet Warriors really need to stop overreacting.

If you live in North America--regardless of where-- you will have no problem playing on a west coast data centre. Sure, you may not have that precious 40 ping, but it will be more than playable and you won't even notice it as you play the game.

As for EU players? Stick to the EU data centre. Seriously.

Chill out, people.

Maybe I would have if the servers didn't start out in North America and we only got EU servers much later, when you have housing, a good FC and a bunch of friends. What you expect me to leave that behind? Want me to pay for a server transfer on top of that as well? I don't think so.

This this and this. Telling this all day long. EU Server came way to late to expect us to leave everything behind.

Some EU players used to play in 1.0 when there was no EU data center. It's not that easy to just leave a server you made hundreds of friends on. I'm gonna give it a try anyway, see if it is playable with a 200ish ping. I don't have high hopes though. :/

Please do not tell people: if this change makes the game unplayable, shut up and choose between "stay with all your friends, but be unable to play" vs "abandon all your friends and social contacts, to transfer so you can at least play through the game". Since a huge draw of MMOs is the human interrelationships, please do not be rudely tone deaf.

I managed to do savage even on 250~ ping. Downside is there's a little bit of GCD clipping when you're double weaving. I can still easily dodge AOEs too.
