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

Ping on the east coast is borderline unplayable even with a VPN. Why on EARTH did they move it to west coast rather than central? I thought for sure it was going to end up in Chicago

Went from approx. 50ms using WTFast to 89ms. Without WTFast I'd be over 100ms. Thanks for nothing SE. Guess I won't be playing BRD anytime soon.

borderline unplayable 89ms.

Are you serious?
I was raiding from West coast to our previous server location (so Montreal) with 120 ms ping...

GL double weaving with 100+ latency js

I was getting 50ms before so this is a pretty big jump to the point I cannot play SMN/BRD effectively. I'm also having issues properly slidecasting on BLM It will be a pretty big adjustment for me and I may just drop BRD as my secondary class altogether.

It will be interesting to see if player performance in the east coast/europe overall goes down due to this.

100ms ping is actually quite good, so I don't see what you are complaining about. (50 ms is very good.)

Packet travel time from US east coast to west coast (based on distance alone and ignoring routing delays) is approximately 14ms.
Placing the servers in between would thus change latency by a whole 7ms.

Most people will of course see bigger differences in latency, but that is not due to geographic location, but is all due to how ISPs and carriers handle and route the packets.
