NA server is moving

[RukiaFae]

Yoshi already said they weren't working on any new character customizations at the last fanfest, with the exception of shrugging at a butt slider.

QoL is a definite though.

I didn't mean now for 4.0. I should have worded it better. I mean in the future after all the servers are upgraded. They said one of this issues was the servers can't handle multiple options, i.e. faces. I was wondering, if they are working on upgrading all of the servers, does that increase the possibility that the graphics with improve down the line.

I like how no one is talking about this, since its only been requested for ages, but those i280 weapons, omg they break the game.

I'm glad they're doing it, I just hope it solves the problems I've been having with their network for the last... expansion.

This is the part where the jaded part of me becomes afraid it's going to be a data center under the sea or something.

Microsoft was actually looking into doing underwater datacenters, so.... XD

"We're moving the data center."

"I see."

"To Sandford, Gloucestershire."

"To where, sorry?"

[Averax]

I have no routing problems to the current servers so I'd rather if things stayed the way they are. A consistent 250ms is better than an unstable 200ms...

This implies that 200ms is good...

Yoshi was quoted back in 2.x as being unhappy with the NA servers so this has been a long time coming. At the PAX speech he was clearly not upset to see them going as he said (paraphrased) they were old & unsuitable. I think I recall heavy hints in the past that the inventory expansion is due to new servers (all three Datacentres will now have up to date equipment). Unless there's an increase in latency or a decrease in stability it can only be a positive thing.

This is great news.

Just so I have some context, where is the NA server currently?

[LunaFaye]

I am not going to be excited till I actually get more information or see it happen. If the data center location is not going to be inside the US in the near future, I don't see anything good coming out of this, if that's the case we are all better off leaving these servers in montreal. I think only time will tell, looking forward to that 72 hrs downtime in the middle of may

[Ama_Hamada]

I don't live in neither of those regions.

I just hope that they'll think of us so we don't have to deal with lag spikes like in WoW, especially their instance servers.

It does not matter, you missed the point. 200-300 ms is too high of a ping. That is the point, unless you going full circle around the world, it should not be anywhere near 200. The game is laggy as hell and groundbreaking in pvp, so sick of it, hope this changes all that. If you think you see no lag with 250 ms, there is something wrong with you.

This is great news.

Canada, and most people, even me, have to pass though level 3 to get to it and that seems a high amount of the problem is that, along with server processing speeds.
