So no East or West coast servers at all then?

Las Vegas is pacific time zone so I would say it is west coast.

Sounds like SSG is attempting to drive a wedge between US and EU based players by way of increased latency. Otherwise why not have an East Coast server?

That sounds more insidious than I suspect reality is. Probably more practical from a rental/lease space rack perspective? Don't know, just a guess.
The one nice thing about having an east coast server + west is if something bad happened on one end... they wouldn't all necessarily be down in one swell foop (plus lower latency for the eastie-beasties).

There is something off about Drossheart and Igan
Because it would be fiscally irresponsible to? With the amount of sever consolidation they are doing, it makes more sense to drop the hardware in one of empty racks at one of Daybreak Game's co-los. Added bonus, you can consolidate the infrastructure team a little.
Heck the 32bit temporary shutdown week(s) is probably them restoring the backups on left over EverQuest or PlanetSide hardware, and turning off all of the quest instancing code so the game needs minimal server resources.

Yea, that must be it.
Couldn't be as simple as consolidating the servers in a new location for any one of dozens of other reasons, gotta be something nefarious.

I suspect thus is why: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_25_831
Anyone else find it interesting that they are relocating to a city in the USA that is famous for two things Gambling and the oldest profession and a city in europe that is famous for to things, a certain type of "coffee" shop and the famous light district of a certain colour!
just saying! Maybe the folks at SSG are finding their jobs super stressful and thought that moving to these particular cities would help with that!

I mean the entire existence of Las Vegas is an environmental crime and a testament to human stubbornness and capability of doing insane feats for let's say interesting reasons.
The whole history of "how Las Vegas came to be and made possible" is quite interesting.

I doubt it - I mean anyone on the east cost could test out moonsea as an option if many of their friends are moving there. I know of at least a few east coasters that are considering moonsea.
It's most likely In vegas due to cost/corporate standards or both.
I agree, Amsterdam is a major backbone hub, Dutch East India Company trying to re-establish control of world trade, so it is a logical choice. Vegas has to have a corporate advantage.

Likely has to do with the relaxed consumer regulations or business taxes in Nevada.

I was thinking taxes, but yeah maybe on the gambling thing too?
I've heard the servers are near the penny slots and the bar, & you get free booze if you hang out there and play the slots..

Wow, those are some super hidden nefarious plans considering the VOC was abolished in 1799.
They have been hiding with the Illuminati, waiting for the right time

Data center costs on the east coast are double or triple that of Las Vegas and the infrastructure is often much older.
