Physical location of WoW servers?

Douchebag. Yes, me.
I've been looking around the net, and can't find an answer to this.

Are all the US WoW servers in California? I know there are servers for the different time zones, but I seem to remember reading that they were all actually located in southern california.

I started a new character on a midwestern server, and it seems like my ping is worse than another midwest server I was on. I'm in California.

EDIT: Also, what is your average ping to your US WoW server?

Oh, yeah, it was a question...

...as far as I know, they're all at the SoCal office. I could be mistaken, but that's what I was led to believe. Can't you just ask Bandy?
 
I live in the midwest and I don't have any problems with my ping on WoW. Neither do my friends who play. Oh and I had no idea there were timezone-specific servers.
 
European servers are located in France, just below Paris... at least, that is where you had to relocate to if you wanted a job as Blizzard WoW employee

I did mail him. I just thought this would be a fascinating way to start a conversation on gaming age.

My ping has been bad ever since patch 1.9. Could be that my server is overly strained since xmas. Before I used to usually get under 200, now it hovers around 400'ish and sometimes even higher. Freakin queues are pissing me off too.
 
neotrace comes up with sunnyvale for the blizzard.com servers.

what is the ip address or the name of the server take about 30 secs to find from there
