Instance Regions
Is it USE (US East), USW (US West), EU (Europe), JP (Japan)
or
US (USA), EU (Europe), JP (Japan)
in-game it is the former, if there is a source on this pls link it somewhere.

- Hello, I have added references for the Regions update, and the update for 2021.4.2, which includes U.S. East region. I originally thought U.S. East was included in the original Regions update, but I was mistaken. I have gone back to correct this. Thanks for catching this! DAG-XR (talk) 00:33, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's the former in terms of visible listed shorthand names, however when constructing an instance id it's slightly different, USW is "us", so ~region(us) rather than ~region(usw) which would invalid syntax though may work as USW is the default region. This being the case as USE did not exist until much later. I'm not sure on a source outside myself (I wrote the the regions system) --euan (talk) 00:40, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- To expand on "Historically, VRChat ran solely on the U.S. West server." a little titbit is this wasn't always the case, prior to the beginning of 2018 VRChat ran out of US East. The switch occurred when moving to a beefier setup as the massive surge in users at the time caused the region to fail.--euan (talk) 00:51, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
