(update 2015-09-14): Iceland servers are alive!)

 

(update: we're still waiting on some peer's routing issues, so the Iceland servers will remain offline until they fix it)

 

From CapnJosh:

 

During the QnA earlier today someone brought up hosting in Greenland as a possible means to let European and American players compete against each other on a [more] level playing field.  I had started looking into hosting in alternative locations kind of like that in recent weeks, so I thought I'd take another look.
 
After looking at this map and a few others, I focused on Iceland.  Ultimately I came across Advania, and since they were able to turn around something very quickly, I set up a host.
 
So, we now have servers in Iceland hosted with Advania using QStack.  I'm pretty excited, though I'm sure we'll have to figure out how CloudStack-driven servers really behave under the brutality you all will subject them to ;)
 
So the next time you log in to Hawken, look for the "Atlantic" region.  I'm hoping it could be a way for players in North America and Europe to be able to play on the same servers.  Check it out and let us know what your experience is. 
 
What is this "different regions" thing of which I speak?  Here's a screenshot of where you can find it in Hawken:

That info should probably go on a tile.

 

And what's with the RENTAL SERVER TESTING in NA?

 

Also, please to be restoring the downed private servers.

Funny, when Merl mentioned Greenland, I immediately mentioned Iceland as a potential hosting option. Iceland has some of the best internet in the world.  Interrrdaaastinggg.

Thanks a lot for this!

Cheers


Treat them with honour, my Brothers.

Not because they will bring us victory this day,

but because their fate will one day be ours.

That happens when a server under the rental system comes up with the wrong config or such. Pretty much always a glitch or such.

[kloeri] And we're done for now with all the rebooting.. except for a single server that will be rebooted when it's done pretending it's a tree.

Is anyone getting the approximate pings predicted on the Q&A to these servers? I got 210 earlier from the middle of the US, and no one in my match was below 170. Frankfurt servers perform a lot better for me despite being around 50% farther away.

Atlanta servers down, they were really good for many many many people. I hope they come back.

I get a ping of ~80 from France, which is quite decent.

I like the idea. I think is a pretty good common ground for players from both continentes to play some pretty balanced HAWKEN games all together (mostly referring to USA Vs. EU pilots here AFAIK for now).

 

I encourage you guys to give these new servers a try!

Stable 240 PING from the Netherlands on Wi-Fi, it usually gets me a playable 60-80 on EU.

My cable gets 20-32 to EU, I'll try it with that next week with hopefully better results.

I'm not afraid of playing a match with a ping of 150 or higher most of the times..

 

On the new region I'm having 135 ping more or less. So.. Why you guys from the US & EU regions are not giving this region a decent try yet?!

 

C'mon! ... Be brave and go it! ;)

These might work better distributed in the server browser between EU and NA.

These servers are empty most of the time. I guess you should promote this game more aggressively. I haven't seen any HAWKEN banner or a YouTube ad that will encourage me to play this game at all. 30 players on EU servers at night is a shame. I love HAWKEN, but I can't witness the death of this awesome game. Spend some money on PR-campaign. :wallbash:
