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

[DRHaymaker]

Why are so many people assuming that having a data center in the middle most part of a piece of land the most "optimal"?

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.

As I posted earlier, Boston to Sacramento is 2600 miles. Coast to Coast. It's still possible to get under 100 ms ping times.

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.
