Tracks Blizzard employees across various accounts.


Is there a way to find out which (US) server you're connected to and/or force a connection to a particular one?

In the US, Blizzard has servers in LA and Chicago, but I'm not sure which one I'm getting connected to (I'm in FL). I used to get ~40ms ping, but the last couple of months, that's increased to ~60ms. Is there a way to make sure that I'm connecting to the Chicago server? Presumably, that would give me the better response time.

If I am getting connected to the closer server and still getting increased ping, is there any way to reduce that response time?

    Control-Shift-N will bring up a debug network view. In the upper left there will be a code for the data center you’re in, these correspond with the airport code for the nearest major airport to the data center.

    Hope that helps. Cheers.
