So this is totally not official nor did I hear about any concrete plans about actually moving the servers to Texas but some stats can't hurt.
This will give all of us an overview on how a location change would impact the community.
Please do only post the results in this thread, discussion will only make it harder to follow.
Only people who actually play on NA please...also please only do this once and when your connection is not in use by something else.
For everyone new to doing a ping:
1. Press Start/windows key
2. Enter cmd in the search bar (win7/vista) for WinXP press run and enter cmd then press run.
3. "DOS-box" will popup.
3. Enter: ping 74.91.113.155 and press enter
4. Wait till it finishes after 4 pings.
5. Post "Average = xxxms" from the last line as current.
6. Enter: ping 64.31.0.187 and press enter
7. Wait till it finishes after 4 pings.
8. Post "Average = xxxms" from the last line as New.
Post should look like this:
Current: xxx ms
Texas: xxx ms
Feel free to add what latency you actually get in game on the current servers cause the ping will probably be way lower.
Also if one of the 4 checks it does before you get the average comes back as a timeout, add that.
Feel free to add your rough location if you don't mind.
No discussion in here please.
Thanks.
