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

She's in Ontario as well, but she lives in a very small town and very far North. We knew the server relocation would probably be an increase for her, but I didn't think it would be that bad.

Jeez yeah I never thought it would be that bad either :/ maybe since small town and not great ISP service as well ><

Hopefully something can be done to help her out.

Tell her I miss her posts and we still need to get SE to add a neon pink pony from Moogle EX

I like the Phily and Seattle Test since you are testing from both sides of Michigan lol
Also, I'm pretty sure there might be a bit of lag through tomorrow as stuff clears up in routing tables. US ISPs don't necessarily work quickly.

I don't blame them at all for upgrading the servers. We're going to be seeing the benefits very soon with Stormblood. More capacity and power is not a bad thing at all.

I do not agree, however, with the radio silence about where the new servers will be until we find out for ourselves. They could have avoided a lot of panic and ill-will by disclosing the state or general area in the initial announcement.

It's no secret the servers needed to be upgraded, that is a fact, and I fully agree with the decision to finally do so. However, this entire move has been shady because of, yes, radio silence from the get-go. Yoshi-P's initial post clearly shown they had already decided on a location but to this day we have not had official confirmation on the location.

Pardon the conspiracy theory, but it's almost as if they knew it would be received in a negative way if it was revealed to be California.

...or, they might understand how insanely shady their fanbase is, and are intentionally not talking about the location for actual security reasons.

.. .. you mean to say, such a thing as a rain has an effect to your internet connection? While I couldn't have even imagined such a predicament, more so from supposedly developed country, I'm starting to understand the worries.

Yes the weather effects it also, us is a 3rd world county when it comes to internet. The reason for this is because of the monopolies here and because of that, lack of competition get to overcharge for the low quality service people in the USA do get. This is why google fiber became a thing, to stir the pot to get these companies to work.

Sorry I don't really understand. I heard the servers were originally in Canada and I honestly have dreadful internet service but am able to play just fine. Unless your using wireless the I don't see a problem with the switch.

You might be an hour behind on the fact that it's probably not Cali and if that's true, everyone has been testing pings to the wrong location. The routing tables are going to take a bit now that the lobby url is actually replying to pings now.

To those late to the thread, let me summarize the last 42 pages:

EU never got official confirmation that the servers were put into Frankfurt specifically, all that we knew was the server data was hopping across the pond to European soil and being hosted there instead.

I think them not disclosing it has to do with some legal mumbo jumbo, but I wouldn't know, really.

[Mhaeric]

Now that we know they really went there, is anyone planning to transfer? Either from NA to EU or JP to NA.

neolobby02.ffxiv.com has address 204.2.229.9
neolobby04.ffxiv.com has address 204.2.229.10

(these ARE pingable now!)

If these are in fact the correct ip addresses, then my ping has gone from a reasonably good 80-90 to a fast 40-50. Good news for west coast players for sure.
