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

They're definitely changing stuff- now I'm getting routed through Texas and the connection's getting dropped there. Wish I had huge tub of popcorn while waiting to see how this plays out... also neolobby2.ffxiv.com is listed as 92.242.140.21. Wish my networking courses had spent less time on the theoretical and more on the practical- this stuff is fascinating.

I'm going to laugh if the neolobbyXX IPs we've been pinging and tracert'ing were pre-prod IPs, not production IPs.

Technically, they do have an office in Cali also... if they parked those domains at their office first and are changing before servers go up, I think SE should get a prize for trolling

Apparently it's neolobby02, not neolobby2. Someone corrected my mistake and the former address is working- still resolved out in Sacramento. I'd love it to be a huge misunderstanding though.

Where did newlobby# come from? I don't know if I missed it or it wasn't said in this thread.

The unfortunate thing about routing issues on the internet, is some companies will ignore you unless you are one of their direct customers. So sometimes if your ISP connects to them you can make a request that way, but it's hard at times if you don't have a payment going to them.

The clock is ticking, I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I really hope that things will get better as the days go on for anybody affected negatively by the changes. At the same time, I'm happy to see how things might change for people overseas but near the west coast. Fingers crossed :')

I was wondering if they were using the old IPs from the start....but yeah. That's why I didn't bother even pinging. I know how this stuff works. Nothing is official until it's working.

The DNS provider you're using has one of those "mistyped domain name" "help" features. The lobby hostname is neolobby02.ffxiv.com, but you omitted the 0 so it fell back to the provider's IP.
