Nope.

I'm from Chile and I still having 200 MS like always. I've been doing savage/raids/etc and I'm able to dps/heal/dps and play DRG without problems and without getting hit.

If your ping doesnt change good for you, but mine is gonna double, that is a whole new learning curve, and tbh, im not that hyped for SB so if its trully west, my journey is probably gonna end tomorrow lol

I honestly dont understand why so many people are crying about it moving to the west coast. I am a east coast gamer and I play on westcoast servers in every mmo because I like the times better for raiding, and there is almost no difference in lag. Lets also remember they are not just moving the old servers, they are UPGRADING them, adding new hardware, better internet connection, and better of more stuff! This will be a good thing!!! not only will this help the Aus and Hawaii players but anyone living in US/Cdn will not feel much if any difference.

IF YOU IN CDN OR US YOU WILL BE FINE. and if you live in the EU and are on Na servers you should of been EU to start they said NA for a reason.

Eu players if you Xfer chars remember to make 8 chars and Split gold among them and make a FC and deposit extra Gil so you dont lose any (moving all 8 Chars on your Acct does not cost any mroe then moving 1 char, its 1 price for everything)

I have a question for the expert people out there, me and my wife are from switzerland on server odin. Should we stay there or should we leave as i read eu players want to move to NA because of the relocation.

As someone from the EU playing on a EU server you should notice no difference. The EU data center is not being relocated (again), the NA datacenters are.
The people from the EU who are worried about the relocation are the ones who've chosen to play on a NA server and may now see an increase in latency.

Thank you very much for the reply and clearing it up for us, cheers

Because it is "optimal" for the widest amount of people. If the datacenter was on the east coast, it would be just as unfavorable to everyone from the center-west.
Not all IPs are the same. Not everyone has the same access or type of connection to the internet. That chart is a moot point because some people are justifiably worried because when they choose a game server that's on the other side of the coast in ANY game, they can notice a change in speed. Again, "We'll see", but let's stop pretending there's baseless concerns.

Agreed, why screw over a large amount of player base? Putting in the center would have the most impact, east would see same/decrease depending where they are, center would greatly decrease while west would decrease/same slightly. All people would be under 100 ms in the US, Canada should all have respectable pings along with the south since it is moved to the south a bit. Now all you are doing is just increasing the east, south America, and Canada.

Just play and test it, who knows the upgrade may make it more playable despite having a higher ping. The only reason I am worried is because they did not specifically point out if the servers are slow themselves to cause the "lag" i see at 40 ms. I am not going to go all doomsday on a 60 ping increase, I just gotta play the game and post my results.

Eh, I'm going to try and not be alarmist and wait for the servers to go back up and see what I'm actually dealing with in terms of game play.

Reading all the doom and gloom freaked me out at first, but eh, nothing I can do about it now. Not worth dwelling on unless I log back in and it just feels terrible. From now on, my policy will be "wait and see."

Absolutely what everyone should do! Having said that - I would give it a few days for them to iron out any glitches in the matrix that might arise from a big move/upgrade before coming to any definitive conclusion...
