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

I'm sorry, but that's an issue that has nothing to do with the servers. Before the server swap I had 66ms and ran the game with absolutely no problems whatsoever.

I do not think I have high expectations.

You have high expectations and not a full grasp of what is involved.

There are multiple factors involved just from your end, besides SE's datacenter.
- your own hardware
- your ISP
- your route
- packet loss

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.

This community never ceases to amaze me. I bet if Square gave everyone a free sub for a year, someone would find fault with it. Pissing and moaning IS NOT going to change where they are going to put the server. Actually no, it was probably because of that pissing and moaning that drove them to move the server from Canada in the first place.

California, if it's even going there, is a pretty logical position in terms of logistics, maintenance, and upkeep. You can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time.

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 is a joke right?

[Lissandra]

I used to live there all my life up till last year of June. If only I had never moved... >,> lol.

Would have just been funny knowing how close I was to the physical data center if I was still there. XD

Hah, you must be joking

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. :/
