Important Information Regarding North American Data Center Relocation

[ReplicaX]

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS SPECULATION BASED.

These are pictures referenced from the Sacramento Raging Wire base.

Raging Wire DID open a Texas Center at the end of April....

Keeping your bold speculation quoted for obvious reasons.

Sacramento would be a horrible decision. Especially when I was stationed near their for 6 years and the issues we had. On top of it being geographically horrible for NA users as a whole.

If they opened a Texas Center end of April, it makes no sense unless SE coordinated with them over a year ago when they started working on the relocation project.

Again my opinion is speculation as well, with some personal xp. We will all find out the truth next week anyway.

Most datacenters look alike though. I'm in them almost every day for work, I've seen them from many many companies, and they all use the same floor tiles, and the good ones all have the same type of cable management runs above the racks.

This, If you check out virtual tours of other datacenters you'll see a similar scheme as well. Regardless, still strongly hoping it's not in California.

Not disclosing it just makes no sense from any standpoint. As soon as it goes live and you see where the connection is going takes all of 10 seconds to see where the IP address is registered in ARIN

If what NarikoStar says ends up being true EU gamers on NA server are gonna have a big jump on ping :/

Any chance that this will allow Aether and Primal to mix in DF and PF?

Highly unlikely until Elemental, Mana and Gaia can do the same.

Does anyone know what the latency right now is between UK and Montreal? And what will it be roughly between UK and west coast?

It really does depend on your ISP and what routing they use and even possibly the time of day. Best thing you can do is open a command prompt and then type:

ping 199.91.189.23

That's Sargatanas, but it's in the Montreal data centre so that's all that really matter. It'll do 4 pings and show you the average. Personally I'm getting 89ms, friends of mine on different ISPs gets ~95ms (not really much in it). West coast (if it even goes there) no way to really check as we don't know for sure where it is/what networks it'll be connected to so we'll just to have wait.
