Server locations - actual country? - Page 2

I would also guess Netherlands, but since it's gonna be Pro7, it might be Germany. Either way middle-Europe I'd say.

I'm gonna assassinate someone if they plan to take it to the UK or Ireland or somewhere around there.

Pro7 is the European publisher who will be hosting Planetside 2 in Europe. Pro7 is mostly known for the TV and radiostations it's behind. EU Planetside 2 will use different currency to the SOE hosted Planetside 2, but Station cash supposedly will be converted into this new currency if you have any. All SOE games will be moved under Pro7 in Europe. If you wish, you are supposedly allowed to play on US servers if you dont want to play on EU despite being from EU.

Patches etc might take some days longer to land on EU, but SOE has assured that they are still in charge of the balancing and all that kinda stuff.

So basically outsourced. I work with outsourcing stuff. Never quite works....as well as the ...ehm...client managing it.

I don't think anyone here would actually prefer Pro7 handling the game rather than SOE directly. There are so many examples oh how other games have gone wrong by just that, but in a way the Pro7 staff that has been here talking to us have managed to give some hope (for me) and at the very least I hope they wont mess it up at least too bad

I'd rather pay SOE instead of Pro7, but I'm not gonna take the extra latency just for that. Overall I'm not very concerned about the Pro7 deal, but still would rather prefer SOE to handle it in EU as well, but oh well.

Aye, my past experience certainly doesn't make me particulary comfortable with a different company handling the EU servers. But I guess time will tell.

As to which country? I'm guessing Germany.

Im guessing Hamburg Germany. Pro7 already have server halls there.

Back on topic: so, German seems a potential candidate for a server then? Should be sub 100 ping then. Would prefer 30-40.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but both the German and the Dutch language are Germanic languages.

On topic: the next 'Werner' will most likely be located in Germany.

I just hope there's a server in Japan, Korea or Taiwan... Don't like the idea of relying on a Chinese server for a low ping :-/

PS1: Werner
PS2: Wagner ?

I also suspect it will be located in Germany where Pro7 has most of its staff.

Just to put that out again: the EU servers will be hosted and maintained by SOE, not Pro7.

Who will host and manage the servers, ProSiebenSat.1 Games or SOE?
SOE will continue to host and manage the European servers for all games under this agreement.
