Title: Moving Gameservers, starting with NA today
Post by: chadz on April 29, 2016, 02:17:04 am
Just a headsup, the NA gameservers will be moved in around an hour - you will need to refresh your serverbrowser.

New server should be stronger, so give me some feedback.

If you need a new server, I recommend my mom's basement. It's cool, secure and it doubles as my bedroom/bathroom/living room.....really my house so I will be able to maintain it 24/7 and I can reset at will with a push of my broom without ever getting up from my bed/couch/dinner table.

It's a dell optiplex from 2003 with all the bells and whistles.

Please make it more central in the US. West coasters are at a very sorry disadvantage.

where was the NA server based before? I assumed it was Midwest already since I had like 20-30 ping.

don't like to complain, but seems like the previous server/location was much better/stable at least for me in Texas.  The past 1-2 years when I ran any trace routes to the Chicago server there is constant packet loss around 3-4 hops before the nfoservers.  usually whatever exchange that timewarner tees off with which I can't remember the name no though (might be telia.net).

I get around 40-60 ping now which is by no means bad, but when there is constant packet jumps to 100 every so often it starts doing crazy things with warband versus just having a consistent ping 60-100 ping.   I don't know if the actual server machine has changed, but lag has been much more apparent the past year along with weird anomalies like missing animations because either the server can't keep up with it or maybe people with shit ass computers with slow response times causes havoc as well with game code.

1.5-2 years ago these problems were much less apparent on my lower end computer running even at 4k compared to 1440p now that I run at 150 fps (4790k cpu 980).  My ping back 1-2 years ago was a stable 35-40 and the server population was much bigger with much less weird lag response times wasn't as big of a deal as it has been.  Maybe this is also due to the fact the servers aren't being rebooted as often.

Love the game and the effort put into it and want to contribute in anyway.

hope the move makes things better for this and possible M:BG servers in the future.

Location wise it would make little sense to move it really, since it already pretty much is in the heart of Europe.
Just provider wise it might make sense.

Dealing with the server hosting game is so annoying. (Especially when you live in Cold Lake, AB -- Mid North West Canada)

I've rented from quite a few server hosts all across the US in the past.  Server setups for Battlefield, Counterstrike and the Arma series.
Usually companies provide you with all the scripts, mods etc.. framework for them or you can google add more, it is fukin e-mazin on chadz for figuring out all his own code for us, he's probably had to create quite a few beauties we couldn't fathom.

As most everyone knows having the best ping doesn't guarantee best connection sadly.  A lot of server farms are overloaded, and some hubs are just trash depending on where your routing through/from.  Just can't please everyone, for shame.

Even though Texas gives me mid 70 ping, instead of the low 50 I get in Illinois, I've always found the connection to Texas in the aforementioned games I've dealt with to be more fluid, even with diff. providers(I used to opt for cheaper options).   

I feel like the internet traffic in N.Y. and CHI was typically a lot more congested back then.  But its been a couple years and the FARMs are spreading.    :P
At any rate, thanks most graciously mighty lord chadz, I'm sure it will be a great improvement that all of us will enjoy... HUZZAW!

For the new game we will (hopeuflly :)) have the population to have servers east and west, but with the current cRPG population it doesn't make much sense, so it has to be one

In some countries yeah, it's true.

Luckily Portugal has pretty decent/good structures and services. One of the few good things about this country (and it's a thin list).

It's quite funny actually, because countries that joined the net later have better internet. For example in Ukraine (Where I am) Internet is really good and cheap accross the board.

PS: But with my luck I have to bear with a TV based internet, the only house IN THE ENTIRE DISTRICT to not have fiber cables. And they are not even planning to :/

Personally I would vote to keep NA servers in Chicago as it seems to be a good middle ground between Canada and USA. Texas would be a rough change for most Canadians I think, not to mention our EU playing in NA.

They lose twenty boring canucks but gain thousand cheating beaners. It's nice trade-off from financial standpoint.

As for EU scum, they have no business on murican soil.

No seriously Guys, I think kwhys onto something special here....

I now have mid ~80 ping instead of low 60...... I thought we were just moving to Illinois?
Pffft, I'd prolly have 70ish ping in texas... Fuckin routing is fukd sometimes.

My feedback:  It seems really smooth, not noticing too much of a difference gameplay wise.

OVH is a very good host: https://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/game/

Not particularly cheap, but for 83€ a month it includes DDoS protection/mitigation and has essentially no downtime. However, only has locations in France in Europe.

Fuck no. Don't you dare move the EU server. Not to UK, especially. Might aswell move it Russia, atleast we get some people playing and the ping is about the same, cause 10 water kms = 100 land kms
