Why are all the servers spread out? If all of them got moved to the center of their respective countries then most players would have less than 80 ping at worst, and if the servers were good, it would probably be around 60.

 

The only foreseeable problem is low player population in certain countries, and the only option would be to play on a server in the center of the closest country with servers.

 

So why hasn't this happened?

Upon eating your sandwich you left some crumbs on the server behind. Relaoded is messed up with clearing up what is left of your sandwich (sometimes it was still wet! Ugh!).

 

You better L2Eat so you get access to the servers.

 

 

 

Just my daily BS. :)

Because Europe is not a country and having a central hub only on Europe and US (can't say about Asian servers never played on them) would leave all the people not living near the center with bad ping. Dunno how many locations there are in US but 2 in Europe is pretty low already given the size of it.

 

It all boils down to player population again, a lot of games have multiple servers in different locations so players can pick the one giving them the best ping or chose to play with friends on servers that give them worst worse ping.

Then at least let us pick our location more specifically. I hate the terrible servers and the 120+ ping that comes with trashburn and kansas city here in the US.

Maybe it's because I'm not that far up the skill levels, but I don't see the problem? hitreg (for me) only seems to get bad at over 150.

More regions, server locations and lots of matches on each made sense when there was a predicted player base in the multi-millions.

 

But we don't have even 1% of the predicted player base.

 

Until there are more (lots more) players, Reloaded should reduce the number of servers and, perhaps more importantly, reduce the number of available matches on each.  This would help to consolidate the player base and result in more full and mostly full matches.

 

Right now, everyone is so spread out and loyal to a particular region, server location and set of matches that we're all lonely.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Those servers and Dallas3 are specifically horrible; testing at 110 on ashburn shows that a sharpshooter shooting the center of a mech will not hit while that mech is walking perpendicularly to the SS.

well damn. Never seemed to notice this, but that's maybe because I generally have around 80 ping.
