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

Pingzapper and WTFast will probably be your friends. Or FlyVPN

I doubt VPNs would help much - VPN servers help against routing issues, but don't do much when it comes to sheer distance.

South american players who are currently being routed over Amsterdam would benefit a lot from one >.>

Before today my friends and me had no plans of transferring, now we're all contemplating the option once the free transfers become available, assuming the terms set for the transfer are good. Will see how things go, though, and how much of a benefit we might see from a VPN, especially the one of us who got fucked over most to the point that for her, FFXIV is pretty unplayable at a level she finds remotely acceptable.

My pings end up around the 170-190 mark, as do a friend's. Meanwhile one of my group of friends that's EU too was sitting at 250ms or higher. Until she logged off in frustration, anyway.

Ye it seems routing is a large issue for LA players atm, as well as even some East coast players.

Is there a data center that would satisfy US and EU with a low(ish) ping? Or is this how it's going to be?

I haven't noticed any difference yet.

Edit:
Playing on Behemoth btw, I guess it hasn't updated on the forums yet

Now sitting at around 180-200 when I used to be 110 or so.

I've not yet tried an instance but already I've got a feeling of dread I'll be unable to play properly with friends in raids now.

I didn't want to believe this would screw us over, but it looks like it has.

Im from germany. and had around 110ping - Montreal
Now I has around 180-200 from Sacramento and I actually dont notice any difference o__o

I spammed Mudras as Ninja + played there rotation. Did a Dun Scaith.
Everything was like usual. o:

I hope many other people can still play too!

My concern is high end raiding where it is much more restrictive, a FC mate told me that kind of ping is a bit of a killer.

I have a character on a NA server, I don't know what I was before but I'm at 180-190ms.

On Odin where I main I'm at around 40-60ms.
