[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

When you hate Australians so much you would rather kill your game in the east coast and England than make them stay on a jp data center.

It sucks for EU people but they have an option to move to the EU datacenters - and transfers should be opened up for free without gil restrictions imo.

I disagree totally with your other post BUT we share the same idea regarding this quote. Hope team are reading this (of course they are lol)

Fair enough - but let me just say that if the situation was reversed and lets say I chose to play on EU servers with friends/guildmates...I should never be upset at SE if they decide to move the EU datacenter to better serve native EU players. Me choosing to play on those servers should have zero bearing in their decision making for the local market - you disagree with that?

This thread.. Way to spread misinformation. Now everyone is saying the servers are in california.

As anyone with networking knowledge knows, until the servers are up, tracert and trying to trace the IP is unreliable. Those IPs, while the DNS record might be updated, could very well be old records until the IP is actually claimed by the servers.

Until the servers are up, theres no way its guaranteed to be in california.

Btw. Using your same testing method, i got MICHIGAN. I think youre very confused about what routing is vs dns is.

The Aether and Primal lobby DNS did get updated to a *new* IP address, that part is a fact. Simple trace route goes to what looks like Ragingwire/NTT CA2 Data Center.

We can still ping the old data center IPs and it goes through Montreal. If you'd like you can still trace 199.91.189.74 and 199.91.189.93, those are still functional.

What we still don't know are the actual IP addresses of the game servers themselves, but it's very likely they are in the same subnet.

[outburstt]

Same subnet doesnt mean same location. Simple as that.

[Lelila38]

Basically we won't know anything for sure until servers go live again. Until then it's all just speculation, some more likely than others, but unconfirmed nontheless.
I don't get why SE doesn't simply reveal the new location to stop all these rumors, the transfer is under way now, what harm could it be telling people where it's gonna be at this point?

[Sagittarii]

Yeah, the best way is to wait until we can actually connect. Then we can see what IP address we're connected to.

[TaurusGilgamesh]

Ok, as everyone try to kinda locate the servers, all with the access to a command prompt console can try that:

1. Open Console (CMD or Windows powerShell)
2. type in

tracert neolobby02.ffxiv.com

3. You should see these two lines:

16 180 ms 175 ms 175 ms xe-0-1-0-1-1.r00.scrmca02.us.ce.gin.ntt.net [129.250.195.46]
17 174 ms 176 ms 174 ms 204.2.229.234

4. If you dont see those two lines post it so anyone saying West Coast is the new location shall shut his mouth. ^^

That kinda sucks, I thought it was gonna be in the middle, since I'm on east coast...
