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

Well, my ping will go up from 120 to 170 so meeeh. But as they stated they are thinking to lift the gil restrictions for server tranfers I wait if they do that soon as I don't wanna convert my millions of gil into items or lose them entirely....
the IP seems to be right by the way. If you traceroute all Lobbies, only NA ones have changed IP and pingwise. So if I notice the change too much, I have to say goodbye to my NA friends which sucks...

No worries.

Thanks all for the responses. I probably wouldnt play this game anymore if the dodging got harder.. lol I had a lot of issues in the past with things like titan before i had a decent isp, im not doing that again..xD
Ive personally never seen any actions fail though. not even cleric stance.. I just have occasional trouble dodging some of the faster aoes. I hope this fixes that..

You wont see actions fail. Your system will resend over and over until it completes. This creates a sort of artifical lag that makes people seem like they are moving but then snap somewhere else. It can also result in what appears like rapid fire when data is resent over and over causing a sort of backlog of events till the system finally completes the send/receive.

chaos is gonna have a lot of new blood at least. west coast ping is just not doable from EU unless you don't care about trying to push your gameplay at a high level

I dunno. I'd personally be hesitant to move even "with" a free transfer, since all your housing, friends etc will be gone, if I have to pay extra for it that's just a lolnope. I'll just lube up and take those AoEs like a man >_>

I no longer have an excuse in getting knocked off Titan anymore.

You still might, here is why:

in short, "I see lag with a 50 ping"

Though I am hoping that effect is better from simply upgrading the servers, we will see

[Kahnom]

Good,my ping will reduce from 300 to around 230.
Which is good,Looking forward to test it out.

Can anyone tell me how to ping this new address from my place?
Or will it affect JP players?

Let's hypothetically say that you live on the east coast and the server is being moved to the west coast - how badly will this affect you?

Left side is the CA ping, right side is the current ping, I live in central maryland. So thats my reference. Basically I went from a 30-40ms to a 80-90 ms, but saw 0 packet loss versus the current which is floating around 30% packet loss, really, wont see a change at all.
