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

[DJaySaint]

Not that I am happy about the move and do agree the choice of location is poor, but I suggest one takes a look at a world map before coming down on EU players. I'm an EU player and have played since 1.0 and thus chose to stay with the legacy server I was on, along with the many friends I had made. The simple fact is any 1.0 player knows (I'll assume the ignorance pouring out of you means you are not one) that although this move is not ideal, it's still nothing like when the servers were in Japan and people should be glad of this. To give a summary, if you think the server move brought them closer to EU, I suggest geographically educating yourself.

Not sure if daft or trying too hard to be insulting and edgy, but here goes:

1. I don't care about your ping. You are EU. You said it yourself, you CHOSE to play on NA servers when you have EU servers that are specifically for you to play on. The NA data centers are for us, not you. Your convenience doesn't matter because you have a data center in EU for a reason. You don't get to complain. Any issues you have with the NA data center move are your own fault for staying on NA. Any subsequent issues you have due to your choice, are in fact YOUR choice. You don't want to move data centers because friends? Fine. Nobody is making that choice but you. Accept any penalties that come with it. You are not the target customer with the NA data center move. I am.

2. Who cares about 1.0? This isn't 1.0. We're getting in to 4.0. What the server status was like back then is irrelevant. What matters is the status they are NOW. And now, on MY OWN data center, my ping has more than quadrupled. I went from having 20-30 to having about 120-150. People say it's "playable"? That's nice if you accept being mediocre. If anyone says the game is the same at 20-30 ping vs 150, they are stupid or delusional, or clearly accept a life of "good enough" and mediocrity. Just because others are ok with not being the best they can possibly be doesn't mean we have to be as well. Regardless, on EU servers I get 90-100. NA I now get 120-150. Something is WRONG there, and arguing differently just makes you ignorant. I shouldn't have to move outside of my region just to have a better play experience.

3. I never said they were closer to EU. Fail to read much? I said MY ping and everyone who collectively lives on the East Coast and Northern US has BETTER ping on EU data center than our NA ones.

The problem is OUR ping, the US players on the East Coast and Northern US, is WORSE in our own data center than that of another region. That should NEVER be the case. I don't care if they are worse for you. You did that to yourself by choosing to remain outside of your region. We did not. We are playing in our own region and now worse off for it. That was not our choice. Now if I were playing on the EU data center and that got moved and made my ping worse? I can't complain, because that is my own fault for playing on EU, and EU data center location is for EU residents, not me.
