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

[LunaFaye]

A lot of people from south america will quit it literally got unplayable to us , and im pretty sure we are a large part of the comunity , its sad to see the few people who profit tho making such a ruckus to discredit everyone who is tryng to get something better instead of support now that they got what they wanted...

Sorry not to be rude but we can't support nonsense. Pretty sure they didn't moved the servers for 3 people.
I did have a high ping prior to the move, but what was more important was my extreme packet loss, not SE's fault but rather my internet provider. I didn't quit and I didn't sit on the forums and complained about it, I put my big girl panties on and made the best out of the situation. There are ways around it, use them and you'll be fine. I don't deny the fact that it sucks and that it makes people upset, and I personally would have like to see the servers in the middle somewhere, however the arguments put out here and not only in this thread, as well as the actions that people should be taken is getting way out of hand. No company will listen to something like that.

Form a petition, have them sign, word them proper and send them to the correct team, but threatening to quit and what not is defiantly not something that is going to implement any kind of change, because nobody can take it serious.

@OP let us know how that's workin out for ya.

I'm not asking for perfect ping, I'm asking for a decent experience for everyone. Moving the servers from one side of NA to the other only flips the disparity. A central location would undoubtedly result in reduced performance for East Coast also, but it's better overall for the whole playerbase as it provides a more equivalent experience for those on the extreme sides of the continent.

Not necessarily. The network connectivity to the datacenter matters MUCH more than the physical location.

"NA players should boycott XIV until we get a centralized data center."

That's an awesome idea, in fact they should have servers in each of the major cities in every country all over the world! /s

Sadly, people from Mexico, Central, and South America (Mexico is part of NA folks, google it) have never been an important piece of the community of this game. There aren't any Spanish subs of any kinds (not talking about Voice acting which could be easily left in English), contests and the like are only for legal residents of the USA and Canada, the new servers are located on the WC. It's been one of my complains since I began playing, but what can we do.

At least Yoshi P came to Mexico once or twice now, perhaps that means they have plans for us? But still I won't get my hopes up. We make a bigger part of this community than many give credit. It's only because we're not shouting we're Latin Americans everywhere that people think we're non-existent.

Why would I put money near my mouth? Can you comprehend exactly how many dirty hands have touched a single dollar bill?

That will be the next request. Give everybody with a subscription their own server, placed on the kitchen counter and someone coming by every 30 minutes to check on it. And of course people that play since 1.0 should get fiber and a whole basement full of servers. It wouldn't surprise me anymore.

No but two servers would be ideal, make one east and one west. Even EA gives people an east and west option and EA is notoriously bad with their servers, but at least they understand one central server for all of NA is asking a lot.

Really this issue with the move reminds me of the story about the guy who was to long for his blanket so he cut the top of it and sew it to the bottom. It was a pointless process through and through.

Why would i boycott when my ping dropped and packet loss went to 0.

Not only that, then you have the sweaty boob bills because some people can't comprehend a purse... or at least clothing with pockets. =x
