Before everyone jumps on me like rabid wolves:

Yes, I know this is something that costs money to Gray Heavens and is not a simple nor fast task. That's why i'm SUGGESTING it, not forcing them. If you play this game without a problem or with little lag peaks, i'm happy for you. I'm red all the time and so a lot of latin american people who wants to enjoy the game.

I'm from Argentina and i play this game since 2012 and having lag issues since then, but they weren't... well... an issue at all, at least it was kinda playable. I don't know why, but since the sprite update it went worse and worse. Vanaduke is almost unplayable at times and don't get me started with LD and BN. There's a lot of people playing at Haven 26/27, even more than the german and french Haven. Only mexicans and spanish people play the game more or less decently. But being that far from the servers is such a pain for many other people.

Sorry if i didn't make myself clear at some points, but if i post this in the spanish forum maybe it will get bypassed.

I am from brazil and have the same issue, i have a 2 bar yellow connection (not 1 bar red like Maverick) but still, for me it means = walking with normal speed, i am allways 3.5 squares (that square on the gound, the big one with 4 collor some times, some times with only one) behind where i am at, if that was 4 squares, i am having a 2 seconds delay, not only in moviment, but in everything, its so lame get killed by a attack, after a dash, away of the mob, and with shield up...

A LA server its not that expensive, many games did it already, we have a lot os players to join it, old ones and for sure, new ones.

Or you can do what I said to Asia. I honestly would never settle for a game for if it was too laggy for me to play.

so?

Just because a game is laggy doesn't make it bad. Some people can overcome that lag and play really well despite their disadvantage.

As it stands there are really three main regions of the world when it comes to servers: the Americas, Europe, and Asia. These three places have a high population of people able to play the game and willing to spend money on the game.

In a perfect world we'd have a high number of servers. We'd have a north and south american server, a european server, an african server, an australian server, and an asian server. That would cover most of the world - however it isn't viable for a game without a large playerbase, especially in the areas mentioned. I have a guildmate who is south african and would benefit highly from a server there. Another guildmate is vietnamese and would heavily benefit from having an asian server.

So while I support the idea (since it falls in line with a good server hosting thing), I'm not sure how likely it would be. To be honest I'd sooner expect a west coast US server than an asian or south american one, despite them needing the server more.

Overcoming lag is one thing. Complaining about it all the time instead of accepting that it isn't feasible to have a server in their desired location is another.

There's a line to everything, and I am not one to say what that line is for an individual. My line is, if this lag is something far beyond my control and it ruins a lot of pleasurable moments within the game. Screw this game...

So you say just because it's laggy, the experience for a 1-2 bar player isn't bad? Have you ever dedicated 1+ year(s) of SK with 400 ping and over to say it's not bad? Have you seen the same players say the same thing over and over? Did we indirectly say the game is bad? Or did we directly say the servers are bad?

lag is an important factor

there are different kinds of lag, there is the 1-2 bars ms delay lag , thats when you have 1 bar but game is still playable, you just have to predict 1 or 2 seconds before , but there is this other lag when you get 1 bar and enemies fly off the screen every 10 seconds or you get dced from the server over and over and over , and thats not enjoyable for anyone, even me that im from mexico, and i have optic fiber and a good internet, i get a lot of ms ping delay, even with the 4 bars i have, so i cant imagine how bad is the lag for the south american people, a lot of my friends are from south america and ive seen videos of the ammount of lag they have, it is unplayable, and also, internet companies in south america, do not offer a good internet quality like in the USA or europe, almost everyone in south america plays with 1 bar, only people that pays a lot for op conection gets 2 bars, i know that i cant complain about this because im usually getting 3-4 bars, but at the same time i support the idea of south american server, +1 this thread, and also, europe region right now has less active players than south america
