I am a west coast player and have always played on east coast servers in every game (currently on Lord Adraas which just merged to Ebon Hawk). Latency is always around <30ms which is unnoticeable and does not impact gameplay at all.

For you but not for me. I am about 30 ms to a PST and 115 ms to est. I am not sure how this is relevant but thanks for the bump.

Lol to the "ping" complainers... I live on the east coast and I've been on Ajunta Pall up until today when I transferred over to Jung Ma, but I never had any problems winning WZ and getting top 3 spots with ping even at 120ms on the "west" coast servers... you guys do know ms = milliseconds right?

120 ms and under is considered good btw

Good for you no one cares about your "WZ" top 3 performance. You chose to go to Ajunta Pall on the WEST COAST as did we, we just would prefer to stay here. Good for you though I will pat you on the back for your leatness and crazy intelligence explaining what MS actually as I am sure that slipped by everyone.

A few of the ping comments are in reference to PvP most is to refute claims there is 1 data center and that the ping is the same.

Saw this thread after posting some concerns in the main Transfer thread.

It seems to me the problem is that lag spikes > 120ms will effect performance in pvp combat in this game. I am open to someone explaining how my assumption is erroneous.

It's really unfortunate when a game you enjoy playing gives you the ultimatum to screw yourself over in order to continue playing. I've been a steady customer since launch, bought expensive special edition version of the game followed it for years, told my friends and even drove out to LA to meet the developers a year ago at E3. Today you just began the process of bleeding out my server Ajunta Pall despite the fact that it was the only west coast RP-PvP server.

The community worked hard to keep the server alive and competitive with the most vibrant West Coast servers and all we have to show for it is the choice to jump ship a day late. Now I've done my research and I understand that IF I go to Jung Ma I'll have to change 7 of the 8 names I chose for RP purposes back on the first day of Launch. 7 of 8- And that was before the recent influx of players from Ven Zallow. My Main will have to change his name because of someone else's alt whether that player is currently subbed or not, and the only real winners in this situation is Jung Ma.

As a guild Leader I would have to reform everything once I get there and hope that this name is not taken (I don't suspect it is) so that I can at least get it off the ground again after a call to Customer Service to retrieve my Guild Bank. And then, of course, I have to worry about my Legacy name. For a game that toots story and immersion that's a lot of broken variables and you're losing a fan in me. As a paying and devoted customer I am given the choice to either stay on a dying server as the curious, some of the hardcore, and the misinformed leave, or to cut my losses change my character's identities, deal with the Ping, and be okay with getting shafted by you after 6 months of paying you and years of supporting you.

I would like to know what made you decide that west coast players should have so little support from the company, why we should have to bite the bullet and play on a server on the other side of the country. While you're at it I'd like to express my general concern for your regional publicity. At Launch you chose to hold celebrations in Texas, New York, London, but you left the West Coast of your own country out. Will this be a repeated pattern of neglect from you and how is any of this behavior a good way to treat your customers? Lastly, as the affected customer I can probably answer this but I'll ask anyway: what incentive do I have to continue subscribing to your product, and what should be keeping me from cutting off payments? I want to support your game, but I'm not paying 15 dollars every month to watch your integrity fly out the window.
If you love this game so much, why do minor things like names matter to you? If they hadn't done this, people would have whined that the server is dying. I understand your frustration, but they are trying to fix a problem that their customers were very vocal about.

If the majority of people transfer from Ajunta Pal t Jung Ma, it won't matter that it's a "west coast" server, because people will be online at all times of the day.

I also get your frustration about your guild, but if you rally your guildies together and all transfer over, what in the world will it matter?

I get it. BW screwed up by creating so many servers and separating the player base. But they are trying to fix the problem. Hell, they are fixing it. Quickly and efficiently. So, as a result, us, the players, will have to sacrifice things like our character names and legacy names.

Your guild can reform. You can find your friends on the new server. And the west cost vs. east coast thing really doesn't matter in the end.

Just take a deep breath, remember that it's a game, and just try to make the best out a new experience.

(also, I think this would work just fine as a new thread. Dounno why you got locked....)

Personally I dislike the option that BW has given us. Different time zone, higher latency. I picked the West Coast cause it had a good time zone, good latency. If I knew we would be transferred to the East I would have chosen a PVP server on the West. I for one am not rerolling. The hours that I have put into levelling and gearing my toons is too much. We need another option, I do not care if it is a PVE or PVP server. All I care about is staying on a West Coast Server. If I do not get another option I think I will have to give up this game. I am not wasting my money and time on a game where the company who runs it is not putting the customer's best interests at heart..
