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

Please remember that FFXIV is officially sold in Brazil and maybe in other countries in South America and the decent latency we used to have is gone. After the change I have to deal with a 300ms latency and my FC colleagues are reporting 270-350ms. We don't have anywhere else to go other than quit the game.

The best case scenario is that SE creates east cost servers, since the company that is hosting their data has data centers on both west and east regions. They solved the problem for a group of players which I'm happy for, but at the cost of another group.

Are these terrible ping times you (and others from SA) are seeing while using a VPN? Many people on the US West coast were forced to use VPN's prior to this move and it looks like that may be in order now for some of the East coast depending on how their connection is being routed. If you use a PS4 it is a bit more of a hassle to set up the VPN but it is possible to do so. I have seen tracert's posted from SA that are going through Amsterdam...that would be the cause of the huge ping spike, eesh.
