Guys I am sick having to change my IP every time to make sure wether a mission or gate is really empty or not. Face it guys, the content has spreaden the players through almost everywhere. Finding a party has become slimmer than ever. This IP thing only makes it worse, and YES, I get that it prevents lag and all that ping stuff, but at least give the player the option to decide for himself wether he wants to play with ping or not.

This game is not ready for a divided IP yet, the player base is simply not big enough yet to go that far.

I think anyone who suggests to play solo, really miss the point of a great potential loss of players that find their apeal in team play, and it sucks for them to experience the same eventually.

Now 3 rings please do this if possible

Is there any support for this

Is there any support for this guys? Simply an extra "any IP" option.

There's a party with any

There's a party with any button... but I think that applies to language settings only? Not sure.

I was under the impression

I was under the impression that the servers were implemented this way to reduce lag to other players.

I really don't think it's spread the playerbase that far. People want to play a game without teleporting. They actually want to see the lumber swing before they get flung across the room.

The default settings appeal to this part of the playerbase, and admittedly larger than the amount of people who find switching servers hard.

Seems like your problem is that not enough people play with you while you are on. Take note that not everyone enjoys playing wih lag, and that not everyone has the benefit of having the same latency on both servers.

And really, that tone in your post is annoying. Sure you may say that you want an option such as this, but the whole "Sk is not ready for this" makes it seem like you want to push all the players back on one server. The playerbase is fine. You can always start your own party and leave it open.

And not everyone wants to play the same gate as you.

This game is not populated

This game is not populated enough for dividing the 2 when there are so many missions now. Call my tone anoying, but its true.

You have around 70 missions?(just a quick guess), 4 gates divided by 2 IP's. 2k to 3k people play spiral knights at once, not forgetting the fact you cant join after they go down(at missions) or progress a little(at gates). The chances of finding a team has never been so small, and say what you want, this does matter alot more for newer players instead of end game players. Most of us have been lucky to experience what they had before.

My suggestion to prevent the lag complaint would be to have the option only make a match with people who have the option activated as well
