Fuck central servers, seriously, if there's no problems with ping like they say, put them all west then hey boys?

Shame that we still worry about bad ping in this day and age, shouldn't they have figured out how to link servers through satellite connection, or run a giant fiber cable across the world!

If we put the servers at the center of the earth, we can have a global server where everybody's latency is about the same on average. Global server it is. <3

They did, and it's slow. Very slow.

We are getting there, slowly.

i sure as hell aint gonna be playing on a US server, be it east west or centralised.

i'm from the EU and thats where i will be setting up camp.

I'm not sure the server locations are the problem some of you are having with high ping. When I lived in Vegas, I pinged Markov at 40-70 and Emerald at 90-110. The way some of you are talking I shouldn't have seen Emerald below 250.

For most games from England I get something like 40-60 to EU servers (berlin/paris etc), then about 90-120 US East, 140+ US West.

EU is definitely where i'll be, but if I'm prime time hopping due to working odd hours most sensible US locations are in the same sort of ballpark. A centralised US server wouldn't trouble me much.

i dont really have set schedule for my playtime either, but i'm not really worried about primetime or downtime , just because you are not playing in primetime doesnt mean the game is worse , just different.

the only reason i ever went on the us servers in ps1 is when there was a gathering going on in the sanctuary or something.

I'm a bit bummed out that no one is making outfits for European servers tbh, i wonder if that poll from before is outdated. I'd much rather play in europe for the better ping, but if all the actions in the US then i guess i'll have to play there

there will be plently of action in the EU, just because most of this forum is filled with americans doesnt mean the EU servers will be empty or without skilled players or ps1 vets

edit : there are also outfits that have US and EU divisions

I see plenty of EU outfits, but most of them seem inactive.

While Vegas is not close from east coast, your trip is shorter than my northern east to southern west coast trip. I guess you confirm the kind of latency I will get. Around 150.

You know, there is another country in the northern part of this continent. Shocking I know.

Oh look, a comedian. Put the cleggin servers in Omaha. Everyone wins.
