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

I live in Central Indiana and my CMD is currently showing about 80 ping average, sometimes going to 70 or 90. No idea what it was before since I play on PS4 and didn't bother to check beforehand.

I'm in Indy as well and getting the same results with the 204.2.229.9 IP. I never checked before since my connection was fine. We'll see when we can log into the servers.

I'm not IT knowledgeable or anywhere close to it but while the servers have been down for the move I was poking Google, which was not being helpful at all as usual, to see which coast was more beneficial to put a data center for a game, especially of 14's size and traffic. General upkeep focused and not on if the ping is bad for people halfway across the globe. The closest thing to an answer I could find after many different wording attempts was http://resource.onlinetech.com/the-b...n-does-matter/ which looked like a reasonable placement choice to me. SE's choice to put their game wherever they want in the end but I figured that the cooler climate thing and less disasters would be a winner to not have a Montreal repeat of problems with the servers, even if that was traffic based issues. Meh. To each their own I guess

New Jersey - Went from 20ms at Montreal to 90ms if the results from the new address are accurate at this time.

I don't think I'll even notice a difference, but it sucks for everyone else whose ping is flying way up there. I actually find it kinda hard to believe they'd pull something like this right before Stormblood's release.

They did do it far enough from the release to at least let people try to figure out how to play with their new latency... silver lining?

I'm lazy and too tired to read the whole thread.

Where were the NA servers originally ?

I'm in an eastern coastal state.

Montreal, Canada which is in the Eastern time zone almost directly north of New York City. The closest major U.S. city is Boston, I believe, although it's only a bit closer to Montreal than NYC is.

Do either of you know the IP for the older server or something very close to it ?

I want to compare, I'm thinking I'll be pretty close to what I was at before based on where I live.

I also may have had a latency higher than what I'm used to but never paid attention in FF14.

Edit - looks like the move puts them 2.25 times further away :/
