Does anyone know where the East Coast and European servers are physically located now?

I think the East Coast Servers are with BS. West Coast is Redwood City just south of San Fran.

Redwood City seems to be spot on.

For what it's worth, I tried to further narrow down the datacenter locations with some latency measurements, since Amazon seems to be pretty secretive about precise datacenter locations within a certain region.

West Coast: between SF and Santa Clara (@Lord Frodo Do you know the precise locations of the us-west-1 datacenters? :eyes:)

East Coast & Login: Ashburn, VA (us-east-1, "closer than 1ms")

Europe: Dublin area (Ireland, eu-west-1)

If I'm not mistaken, most of the US Eastcoast servers are in Virginia/Maryland area and European severs are in Ireland.

erm... that is the EA HQ address, but thanks anyway. The UO servers are not hosted by EA anymore - they have been outsourced to Amazon datacenters back in 2011.

There is an Amazon datacenter in Palo Alto, CA, though. Close enough to Redwood City...

I thought Amazon was just hosting the info but not the physical servers themselves with the main program, this is the way it was when it was located in LA, Ca.
