Being a realtime action game like many other MMOs out there, Spiral Knights desperately needs servers in Europe. I've been playing for a few days now and I recognize the symptoms of network lag that I also see in other US-based realtime MMOs, it really cuts down on my game experience (and even so, I still enjoy the game, which proves how much more enjoyable it would be with a decent latency).

Obviously the choice is a financial one for OOO to make, whether or not the investment would be wise is nothing I can estimate without looking at server traffic, but I can say that at least I would be more inclined to spend money on the game if the latency issue was resolved.

I'd imagine the only other way to improve latency for European players would be by improving the netcode, but I'm uncertain how much room there is for improvement in the current code.

Ahhhhh!

I'm kind've irritated with myself that I didn't make this connection sooner - US servers. Was wondering why I've only seen four bars once or twice, heh.

If amd when this game huge I would looooove to see EU servers, that'd rock my tiny clockwork world [UK ones would be even better XD {muttermutterstupidislandmuttermutter}]

I'm also based in the UK and haven't really had any serious problems since the first arsenal expansion; it might be the time of day that I tend to play (I'm a freelance illustrator and can more or less set my own hours, so I tend to play around working on assignments, typically either in the late morning or early evening). With the Steam launch, of course, there's a big ol' influx of new players, so this'll doubtless change...I'm sure European servers will eventually come in as a matter of course, else the load will become unsustainable. But I imagine they're a ways off.

Is Pakistani and until this thread didn't realize the icon in the top right corner was anything more than a little black square with a smaller delicious candy red tiny square in it.

Yeah I'm also surprised those were bars.
