Talk:Americas region realm list by datacenter

Links still need to be added for most of the 222 servers. I will revisit this when I am less tired. :) Nandini 10:09, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for this list, I've been looking for a new realm for a while and wanted a list that actually shows where the servers are, not where they "claim" to by arbitrary time-zone. pzykotic

You're welcome, I'm glad someone else has found it useful! Nandini

There is no 'Oceanic' time zone. Oceanic is a class of realm describing which are of the planet Blizz are attempting to serve via these realms. They use AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) which is UTC/GMT+10, or +11 during summertime. Further, I suggest the designators used here for US time zones are fairly pathetic. For example, it says Eastern - but to an Aussie, Eastern time is Oceanic. Anyone have any thoughts as how the page ould be edited to provide this kind of useful info? Use the real timezone names? -Normal 21:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

When I originally created the page, I simply borrowed the time zone designators found on other pages, so I'm glad to have some feedback from someone from outside the U.S. Would changing the designations to "U.S. Eastern Time, U.S. Central Time, U.S. Mountain Time, U.S. Pacific Time, Aust. Eastern Time" be easier to follow? Nandini 22:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

New Datacenter

It appears that the Ruin and Vindication battlegroups have been relocated to a datacenter in Washington, DC. Can anyone else confirm this? Nandini (talk) 17:55, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

I did some reasearch and indeed, those two battlegroups appear to have been moved. I updated the article accordingly.Nandini (talk) 18:34, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

No Data Centres have moved. Ruin & Vindication are still located in Dallas - they're just in a SEPARATE Data Centre than Rampage & Shadowburn. This was confirmed by a GM about 2 weeks ago when Ruin & Vindication were experiencing login issues. Resa1983 (talk) 19:17, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Ping

Just out of curiosity, but is there a reason why the IPs listed here are unpingable? RobertM525 09:14, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Blizz's firewall filters out all ICMP frames at the border of their network. --k_d³ 18:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

in my personal opinion, it woudl be an attempt to prevent packet flooding and thusly a denial of service attack, but that's just me --AU518987077 (talk) 23:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

How to Find IP Addresses of New Servers

I found this procedure on Blizzard's forum:

1. Start WoW & log in to the realm you want to trace.
2. Press ALT-TAB to minimize WoW and return to the desktop.
3. Click Start, then Run, then type "cmd"
4. In the DOS window type "netstat"
5. Wait until the command prompt appears again, approx 1 minute

You will see an IP address connected on port 3724. It will look like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3724 this is your connection to Blizzard. Obviously the port number is not needed for the charts. --Ibemerson (talk) 01:08, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
