Server Location

[username17]

The servers are on the East coast of the US somewhere in the Carolina's.

I ran a trace route from California, DC, and Virginia. I got routed through Atlanta each time.
The servers aren't far enough north that I'd stop at a Virginia router. It put me through Atlanta.
I'm thinking somewhere in North/South Carolina close to Atlanta.


There were 2 hops after passing through Atlanta which didn't have PTR records so I can't confirm the exact location. IP location look ups are not always accurate (company I work for purchases IPs on the west coast and uses them on the east coast) so I can't say exactly.

If I'm right I live about 6 hours away from the servers which is nice.

Not that it matters I guess but...

why would anyone want information on the servers unless they planned on messing with them? not calling anyone out or throwing labels it just seems very shady to me.

Why I would like to know: www dot WTFast dot com

WTFast is a very useful program that reduces latency by offering a more direct route to whatever game servers you play.

In WoW, my latency went from about 45ms to 20ms, living in California and connecting to the LA servers.

I get ~100ms here, so I figure the benefit might be substantial.

Thanks for the discussion.

Netriplex has a data center in arden, nc ( close to asheville) and a fiber link to atlanta. They also have a datacenter in atlanta.
