Okay........ So the new test servers are now up with the new update.  Is it any better for you?

Please post your location and ping on the central servers for the Devs to see if this is working right.

Personally, I am getting about the same ping on Central @ 45 to 60 as I am on East @ 45 to 60.  I live in Minneapolis, MN; so I dunno if this worked out for me other than I have a new place to look for games.  But I have heard from a lot that like the new servers saying that it decreased their latency.

I live in SLC Utah, and it cut my ping from 80's into the 40's...  I thought it was great :)  
Keep them if you can cause western is always to empty to find good matches :(


(*winks*)
You could always mix central with western servers with a goal to fill that area with players
and aim to keep enough players in that zone.)

If you mix West with Central, you will have higher pings for some than others

It says there has been several votes......... Please remember to indicate where you guys are from so the Devs can tell if the Central Server System is worth it.

I voted 'No', but the difference was negligible.

I'm from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Usual ping is sub 40ms, played some matches last night on the Central servers and ping was ~65ms.

Didn't notice a difference in gameplay and wouldn't hesitate to play on them again.

Interesting stuff......

I just played with a guy from Calgary Canada; he told me his was slightly better with a 118 ping at the time. And another from Toronto at 60 ping.

I love the US Central Server but it doesn't seem to want to queue missile defense games. I have tried several times and at different times with no luck. It eventually times out.

I don't know, I see a lot of "Actually, it's the same for me" votes. For me, I went from 80 PING down to 40, and that's a huge deal for me. I live in Texas, so I don't know how it is northern central. For me this central server works wonders; hopefully they'll keep it up. I'm also connecting to more and faster games than I have with Eastern let alone Western servers, so that's another huge + for me.

I live in southwest Colorado. My pings are generally 110-116 (these days) on West. My pings on East are generally 135-140. Pings on Central are roughly the same as East server pings for me.

I'm over in Seattle, so really my input doesn't seem all that useful, but by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, if it helps, I'll do it. xD Though, even being in the West, I still had a perfectly good time, no noticeable lag or anything, so that was cool.
