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

I haven't even checked my ping yet, but the servers are more more than triple the distance away from me. Moving the servers so far away was baffling.

Physical distance =/= network distance.
Until you've checked your routing and ping, don't assume that the two are related.

You can have a physically nearby network destination that has a roundabout routing (due to peering, contracts, ISP etc) that's slow, but a physically far away location can be responsive, due to being 'next door' on the network (also due to the same: peering agreements, backbone contracts, how your ISP is wired, etc)

So since SE is unable to learn from their past mistakes and from other companies mistakes and since in the best case scenario they'll move their servers again in 2 years (extremly unlikely) could they at least consider making it easier to double weave OGCDs?

Can someone explain what double weave etc means?

Well, being that this is my last day, (PS3 player, recurring subscription was not renewed, I guess they don't want me to play). All have have to say about this is....>Dd

You would defend anything wouldn't you? Japaneses on NA now have better ping than east coasters and eu, I have better ping on eu than na now.
It was a retarded move, end of it.

Using 2 Off Global Cooldown (OGCD) abilities between 2 Global Cooldown (GCD). For example, as a Dragoon you do: Heavy Thrust (Triggers a GCD) and then Blood for Blood (OGCD) and Battle Litany (OGCD) and then you use Impulse Drive (GCD).

PS3 will end the support on Stormblood release. You cannot buy more days unless you get game in PS4 or PC. But, you will have free login on PS3 till the end of the support once your last days are over. After Stormblood release, on June 15th, you won't be able to play anymore on PS3.

Oh right, yeah that can be a challenge at times.

from what I know, Ragnarok used to be located in JP in 1.0?

That is correct I am a day one alpha player, servers were located in japan.

So by all means, while you have my sympathy for issues like leaving friends behind, losing your house and/or gil....language barrier is not one of those problems.

Friends/house/gil is the main reason why i don't wanna switch. I got to know a hand full of ppl that i care for a lot. Enough to travel all the way to NY and GA last year

It is not the language "barrier" that i fear... It is simply... FF has always been english for me. For more than 13 years including FFXI. I played with japanese ppl in XI and i really hated to see my name, not knowing what they were talking about. So i started to learn japanese and i don't wanna go through languages again. I am german but i prefer the english language. In games, on TV, everywhere (I even spoke english after i woke up from surgery ).

As I said in another thread, since they won't move servers again anytime soon (if ever) they should at least make it easier for players to double weave OGCD (and make it harder to triple weave so it doesn't become a new meta or whatever).
