Well, for basically all West Coast/Alaskan/Australian players, the lag is almost too horrible to play with, I was thinking if it was possible to eventually make another server but located somewhere in the West Coast whether it's Seattle or Los Angeles, it would really help out with the lag we get.
Let me know if we should/can do this, or if it's impossible and a dumb idea.
Thanks for you time.
Well that was harsh. >.>
But you know, you might as well put a server stationed in Hawaii so it's closer to those Austrailian players and can still reach the west coast.... maybe....
South America server would be amazing...
*Throws money at the screen*
The Hawaii server idea could work, it would reach Australia, parts of Asia, and the West Coast, giving everyone 3 and 4 bars instead of 1 bars! :D
Not you Canozo, you have a 4 bar already :V
I thought west coast has the best connection? since 000 is in LA?
Anyways I live in seattle and I have great connection?
Nope. Server is in Virginia I think. East Coast. That's why you see "US East" when you look at server list.
Seattle is just.... OP.
Is there a server in LA? Thats where I thought there was one..
There are 2 servers in total one is in Virginia and the others in Ireland.
Just curious, how do you check your latency?
People mention bars, but where do I see them in game?
It's in a little box at the top right corner of the screen.
Very few MMOs have their server on the east coast, its always west coast. Finally I can gloat about my better ping to all those Cali people haha
Still, the lag for the majority of the West Coast players is horrible, I have a 3 bar during the day but once it's midnight in Virginia my connection goes crazy and jumps around from 1-3 bars for about 4 hours. The same happens with a lot of my friends who live nearby or who I already know, even a friend from school was asking me what the hell was going on at night. But Flowchart, would you rather have a 3 bar or a 4 bar connection, where if you have a 4 bar you have little to no lag whatsoever, and you don't get hit from 0923958845734985345 tiles away in Lockdown or in the Clockworks/Missions.
Well, I guess my idea was pushed aside, forget I ever tried to help out some players.
-FAYSE
I just pingtested to a server in LA and got 250MS PING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats 100ms less than usual
I support a US west server
Beside the necro you've done just now, and besides my desire to punch you in the face, I am going to say something else.
"No servers are going to be opened due to the large amount of players that needs a server near them, which a small company like OOO can't fund nor rent."
End of story. Period.
It's dumb to compare West Coast with the rest of the world.
