The previous server was 3008 miles from my house according to google maps. 115 ms ping.
The new server is 280 miles from my house according to google maps. 80 ms ping.

New server with WTFast: 25 ms ping.

See where the larger difference is? *Nudge, nudge*

Admittedly though, I figured the move would be to somewhere like to get something like Denver, Chicago, Kansas City, Houston, or Dallas. Not... to one corner of the supported area.
Also, SA servers and added localization support any time soon?...
Annnd here's hoping that improvements to net code may shave off a bit of the effect, in my case enough to play on the JP servers if I wish, now that I have a new NA server on my doorstep. Cus why not? Need my language practice.
