Important Information Regarding North American Data Center Relocation

[WarbossGrim]

They could just put one of the old servers in a barn for the NZ players or something rather than screwing over half of NA and all of Europe.

If I had to guess I think they might put them somewhere in the Central US.

Make Primal and Aether a single data center so we share PF and DF.

it was like that at launch.. df kept crashing because of how many people using it.

Cool info from the OP, will hope to see my ping drop but also excited to hear about the area enhancements~

Was it? I didn't remember that but I do recall the moments where the DF was saying "we've got all the members, but we're now waiting for an instance to open up!" and seeing that for a good 20 minutes lol.

Right. So, migrating to a new data center is an incredible undertaking by technicians at the DC and SE as a whole. Being in North America, you need to look at availability zones. You have, East Coast, Central, Southern, and West Coast. Depending on what node the traffic will be going through from the ISP to the server can find traffic in the lanes of the network. There could also be a DR Site being created too which is usually in another availability zone. We'll have to test the ping times once the data center move is complete.

What would work out well for NZ Players is for the Data Center to be located in Australia. I think there's a few of them out there.

We do not know where they are being moved to. Currently the servers are located in Montreal Canada. Any location further south should improve the ping for Latin America. It is likely your ping will stay the same or improve. Europe, Pacific Islands, and Oceania are more likely to have a noticeable impact.

In his post he explained the problems they faced at launch, problems that still plague the game, with the new data center they are no longer restricted in physical space for new servers, on top of Chaos no longer being a factor, so I think they should try to push for a single NA data center.
