    I figured this would affect me since I live in Miami. Went from 40-50ms with and without WTFast to 120ms~ without WTFast and 100ms~ with. However, I honestly can't tell the difference and since I play a lot of MNK, I never really had to concern myself with double weaving to begin with. I'll probably won't be able to get some last second attacks in before AoEs trigger though. /shrug

    Went from 100ish to 170-180ish from the UK. Very noticable but doesn't really feel like it hinders me too much so far on any job but the one I actually enjoy and main, go figure. Tried Mudfish today and it made my ping even worse, even trying a bunch of different nodes. Anyone from the UK have a decent experience with Pingzapper or WTFast? Pingzapper seems reasonably priced at least so I might give it a shot once SB launches. If that's no good it's time to shit it up and become a PLD main. This move has definitely made me appreciate the perserverence of my friends in Australia and NZ though, I cannot imagine wanting to stick around in this game if I had 250 ping since day 1.

    Same as Kiarax (went to 180), in battle I notice little if no difference, things seems to process the same.

    Menus, however, is where I do feel it slightly. Such as the Summoning Bell, the mini cactpot...

    @Kiarax: There was a brief period where I tried both, but the free ones only. Just made things worst. However the delay/lag problem went away not too long after. I could be configuring it incorrectly, but in reality it's not that hard to get it setup honestly, and I was too lazy to explore further. Basically I found it all placebo/a waste of time. Could be different if you stuck money into it of course, but I can't comment further.

    It actually has helped me here in GA (we're on Uverse). I've been noticing a lot less lag/choppy stuff due to lag; the only problem I had was a wierdo one. I don't know what my ping was before, but it's 80-90ms now.

    Seems somehow, either due to the fact my battery on my phone swelled up (and the screen popped off a little bit; taht's why I took it in to get fixed and the bad battery was discovered) or the server move, my software token came unsynced. I had to remove it, then reinstall and add it back. First time ever. Good thing I keep the emergency removal password around. That Galaxy 4 has a new battery now, btw.

    I had ~20ms to the servers in Quebec (I'm in southern Ontario), looking like closer to 90ms now.

    Genius decision.

    20ms for me in San Francisco, although I get pretty frequent lag spikes in which everything stops moving for a few seconds.

    When from 110ish to 45ish, Eastern Washington.

    Week ago I said, "watch them put them near their offices in Cali". And we all laughed because we didn't think they'd be that stupid.

    went from about 70ish with lag spikes to like 95-100, not sure on the spikes yet. I'm in Alabama. Feels..more sluggish in instances than it did before.

    Being located on the west coast, I no longer have any lag calling retainers. Everything is blindingly fast.

    Sorry to those who got the short end of the stick this time, though.

    Long Island City with an average of 103ms and spikes of 198ms

    Duty Finder server just eating GCDs and Buffs left and right.

    This is kinda the icing on the cake with other issues and makes me glad I didn't pre-order Storm Blood.

    Is the Montreal data center simply empty now, or are there still some servers there?

    It seems like the smart move would be to have a data center in California and Montreal.

    i mean, from a technological/keeping-people-happy perspective, sure. but i can pretty much guarantee you neither of those were factors in the decision-making process to move datacenters.

    i'm ~100 or so to both the new center and the EU servers, out of MA. no idea what my ping to the old DC was, but this screws my static over pretty hard since we have a couple of UK people (who've been playing since 1.0 before balmung even existed) whose latency went way up with the move.

    Obviously you can't reach the old servers anymore, but this should be the square-enix.montreal IP in case people want some sort of number to compare new pings to: 184.107.107.176

    EDIT: Alternatively you can check nodes around the area (such as if-ae-3-2.tcore1.w6c-montreal.as6453.net which is located in Montreal).

    Mine is also almost 60ms different between that one and new servers. Did a run of Dun Scaith last night and before when the first boss did that red suck you in attack if I just held the button down to run out of it I could get out in time regardless where it pulled me to but now it seems that is not the case. Yay.
