US Host

If we hosted the Servers in Germany at DE-CIX (Frankfurt am Main) everyone would be happy. The DE-CIX is the worlds centerpoint of internet traffic across the atlantic. Ping and Speeds there are amazing!
 
It is all a bit silly in my opinion. Tim is using the excuse 'well its fine for me' to justify moving the server away from the majority of the playerbase, and the fact is most people are far worse off now.

I don't see how it seemed reasonable to move it so far away rather than choose another European host.
he did not choose to move the server to the US, it simply was the best option available to him.
from my poll a year ago around 40% of the server is US while the other 60% is European.

How many people voted on that poll? Because newbies don't usually hang on forums.

I'm not using it as an excuse. We HAD to move the host as quickly as possible because of the other host quitting, if we hadn't moved we would had lost everything, so we didn't have time to check for a proper host, so we just picked the biggest and most trustworthy one, even though it's in the US. I'd rather have a slow host but be sure it doesn't disappear and it removes all our files, than a fast one I can't trust at all. Also, we will probably be able to move back to Amsterdam within a few months.
I expected this to be way worse for me, and all I'm glad about is that I barely lag, even though I'm this far away, showing that it's not just the distance that decides weather or not you have lag or delay.

26. had to dig into some old posts to find it. 14 voted Europe while 10 voted USA. the other 2 voted other/don't care.[/quote]
I don't think that's a whole server. And I didn't vote on it.

I wasn't on the forums, sure. Can't really put my finger on the date. I always answer to that "I was here when RP was still a thing.", but wouldn't know.

Simply, the most reliable hosts are in the U. S.
 
The Host we are on now is barely playable. I mean after you shoot an arrow at someone it takes 1,5 Sec To fire. When you run into a fight to PvP and you hit someone he takes the dmg like 1 sec later, that brings you're whole attack into shreds. But im glad you said that the Host will be going in a few months to Amsterdam until then i guess i'l play less can't wait for it.
:D

REALLY! that does not sound at all like my game experience being on the west side of the US while the server was in europe.

I live on the West Coast of Mexico facing towards the pacific and when the host as a good 5,000 miles away the worst lag I ever got was on Dale with 70 people on, which brought me down to 15 fps.

This makes no sense at all, connection lag is not related to low fps.

Then it is off topic. Why would you even mention your location in relation to the host location in the same post like that? That's very misleading.
