When I play on West Coast vs East Coast WoW servers I get 150 vs 82 ping.
When I play on West Coast vs East Coast TF2 servers I get 120 vs 20 ping.
When I play on West Coast vs East Coast BF3 servers I get 100 vs 30 ping.
When I play on West Coast vs East Coast PS1 servers I get 130 vs 60 ping.

I have no idea where these servers will be located, but since SOE is located on the west coast I imagine they will be west coast. I am making this thread to get some answers hopefully (that prove me wrong) and to bring awareness of this serious issue.

I don't see why they would take a step backward and only have servers in one section of the country, when modern games like WoW, BF3, TF2, and old games like PS1 had servers across the country, allowing everyone to have good ping.

Now if the servers will be located in central US that will be better, but again I'd rather make ruckus now in case they are planning to have them all west coast, since RadarX doesn't think that moving servers around the country helps.

I was really hoping for some central servers at the very least, so my friends and I who are scattered around the country could all play on the same server with decent pings. Now it seems all of us easterners might get shafted.
