Now that we know they really went there, is anyone planning to transfer? Either from NA to EU or JP to NA.

neolobby02.ffxiv.com has address 204.2.229.9
neolobby04.ffxiv.com has address 204.2.229.10

(these ARE pingable now!)

I'm curious to see how much of a ping improvement I get over in Hawaii.

How... is this known if the servers are still offline.

Because they updated the DNS records that point to them already.

...and here I expected the midwest; guess you can't expect all developers to make sensible decisions like that. Looks like you won that one, Raikki. lol

I'd rather have lost that wager, but it's understandable even though it sucks for a lot of us. It's a Japanese company (NTT), similar to how the Chaos datacenter is hosted by a Japanese company (KDDI); it's more conveniently accessible from Square's US headquarters; and it's a much easier trip if they need to send people over from Japan.

California is sort of a staple for anything computer related. While it would make more sense for the datacenter to be in chicago, i expected california the whole time.

Can you tell me what site you used?
Using all kinds of DNS Lookup websites or even simple "ip location" websites I get different locations, mostly around Chicago/Detroit/Kentucky area, one in Colorado.
Haven't found anything that leads to California.

Geo IP lookups are not going to be very useful for freshly delegated IP addresses. Just traceroute to one of the IPs/hosts and it's abundantly obvious by reading the router hostnames.
