I for one welcome our 300+ ping overlords. I really hope this isn't the truth. The east coast will suffer greatly.

Are you saying a ping of 50-60 is an eternity or half of a second is an eternity? I would agree with the latter, but that's a 500-600 ping. Unless you're playing on dial-up still, I don't think playing on a west coast server will be an issue. I'm from the east coast, for what it matters.
I don't think ping starts to be an issue until 250, but even the Aussies seem to be able to hold their own with that. As long as it's stable, you should be able to adjust and still enjoy the game.

I have re-subbed PS1 since the sole remaining server (Gemini) was moved from wherever it was to San Diego. I can confirm it cut my ping in half.

*Edit: I am on the west coast, and am stuck with a DSL connection

California is a shit place for business. Dallas has a great hub with a good/decent ping everywhere in the US

Austin or Dallas

That would make everyone happy, and make me really happy.

iirc, there was discussion about this a while ago, and it was either going to be in Las Vegas or in another central US hub city, like Dallas or Chicago.

This is a bad bad bad prospect. Very bad indeed.

I hope SoE either changes their mind or they have a REALLY good explanation for this. So far, this is my first disappointment. I hope more don't follow.

Everyone complaining about ping in the US, seriously? Give me a break. Games are still completely playable up to 200ms (so many people including myself do all the time in various games) I play on servers in Europe regularly, no difference. And if you honestly think people on the East Coast won't play because of this, you've got to be kidding me with that assumption. The sky is not falling. As someone said, unless you're still using dial-up, you don't even need to be concerned at all.

I have an idea. Wait to play the game and see if it's laggy. If it is, then complain.

This may be a gamebreaker for my clan. About half of our members live in EU so we always agree to play on USeast servers.

If it is on the west we will undoubtedly be unable to play together.

I ping 170 to Sandiego. I'm worried. Shooters are not playable at 170 ping.

And if I get 170 ping in game, I won't play.

I have an idea. Let's make sure SOE knows this is a big deal before it's too late (if it isn't already). If they have west coast servers, IT WILL BE LAGGY. There is no if ands or butts here. SOE doesn't have magic technology that other companies don't.
