Leviathan is still a NA Server but I've been keeping an eye on pings & traces (I play on Leviathan from the UK) and since the server transfer both have increased. My ping went from circa 90ms to 230ms with spikes of 700ms. That was on Tuesday night (UK time). It's the same now but no spikes. It seems that the average hops are circa 20ms until I get to 141.136.106.106, which is Tiscali based in Germany (!) that's 165ms & Ormuco Montreal which is the server centre (also 165ms). Prior to the transfer I routed straight to the US West Coast & not via Tiscali.

I think something has changed.
