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

Wait till the servers come online and test again. Pinging offline servers and Lobby servers is not leading anywhere. Wait few hours and check your real ping.

As a European having it be in CA would pretty much be the absolute worst case scenario for me. What idiot thought that would be a good idea, even from just the USA perspective this is just switching the problem around.

How do you ping their server?

[Redcyberhawk]

Honestly at this point the real measure to see if you can still play is if you test the servers yourself. They are still down, and will be down for a few hours, or more. Once they come back on, give it a few days, because the influx of people joining to test NEW servers will only create first-time issues on their end. Give the servers 2 weeks or so to stabilize, and see where your connection stands. Besides, if worse comes to worse connection wise, their are EU and JP servers you can switch to that could help, although that comes at a price. I'm honestly happy for the server move, but for some of the unfortunate people with some slow connections, this may not have been a great change for them, but time will tell where the connections go.

How do you ping their server?

you can't ping the server itsself, but you can ping the IP of Raging Wires / NTT which leads to the data centers. The IP for that is 204.2.229.234.

So you have two options

1. If you are a PC user open up CMD or Windows PowerShell and type in following

ping 204.2.229.234

2. If you don't use a PC or CMD is just too confusing to you just use a testserver in Sacramento by visiting speedtest.net. change the server to anywhere in Sacramento and start. It might not represent your latency you end up with but you have a general idea how the relocation will affect you.

I really hope it isn't there...just pinged 300 lol, i'll definitly quit 14 if it's that laggy..

[AvalonBright]

Well, I'm screwed. I get godawful ping to WoW in the West Coast. I was betting any money they'd get a datacenter in Chicago like many other online companies. So much for common sense. -_-

[EUSerena]

Well, I posted this in the maintenance thread too, but please, give people a free transfer service.
If the rumors are true and it is indeed on West Coast, we have to transfer, there is no other way.

Even at the former ping times boss mechanics got clunky sometimes - no matter if you run out of the circle, you might still die.

This community never ceases to amaze me. I bet if Square gave everyone a free sub for a year, someone would find fault with it. Pissing and moaning IS NOT going to change where they are going to put the server. Actually no, it was probably because of that pissing and moaning that drove them to move the server from Canada in the first place.

California, if it's even going there, is a pretty logical position in terms of logistics, maintenance, and upkeep. You can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time.
