It is funny that one of the only people that have a problem with this is one of ecko's most abusive and downright stupid admins:  CtrlaltDel1337.

I got banned by this guy after getting unbanned by Ecko/Gorath after pointing out their tendency to over look some of the ATS player names that included "rape" among other bad slurs.  Yet my name was always unacceptable and I got banned for it even though my behavior was fine and I never did anything wrong.

Do not listen to anything CtrlAltDe1337 says.  He is too blinded by goon hatred to formulate anything intelligent and unfortunately does not understand that he might be part of the reason this is happening. 

I would be lying if I say I do not enjoy reading all these bitch posts.  CtrlAltDe1337 you made my day .

AND Thanks chadz.

CtrlAltDe1337 is a great admin, I think you're not giving the whole story. A lot of ATS are good admins, which is why I don't mind them controlling the server. Sure there may have been a few bad apples but that's no reason to generalize ATS as a whole. Ecko does his best to keep NA servers running to the best to his ability. Move along troll.

There is perception and then the truth, sadly most people do not distinguish between the two.

I've never had any troubles with ATS and if I've seen them ban/mute or anything I usually agree with them. Also, I'm not in ATS or even talk to them in any way so my opinion is unbiased.

We're currently in the works to get two dedicated servers in light of the suggestions - one for general play, and one for general Strategus. No promises, but it looks good.

Both will be fully managed down to root access by chadz and his team.

Texas server?

If the plan for both dedicated servers goes up, only both, then it will be located in Texas - I think.

Chicago is better, for midwest and east coast

What about us in Canada?

I'm in Canada and my ping is fine on the LLJK Battle_TX server. (Texas) Which by the way is a pretty good server and a lot of fun.


To the point though, you have to understand, this is all of Zealots money, and all of chadz mod, and none of anyones business but them.

Just because Ecko is upset he's not being put in charge, shouldn't distract everyone from how awesome a miracle this is for the NA community. This is the only way we will get true unbiased Official servers run by trusted admins selected by chadz. Not only that but NA strategus would probably be hosted on its own box which means it will run 100x better then it would on Ecko's already strained box.

People complain about a lack of information but you already have way more information then you need. Pretty much all the information really. But all you really needed to know is that this is 100% a good thing for all of us, and it is out of our hands and in chadz's.

I'm in Canada too, form fan club.

The original plan was to have them in Chicago, that may or may not be the case. We'll have to see what happens, switching my bank tomorrow, and supposed to be stress testing the servers and their player limits on Monday.

Don't turn this into a thread arguing about my credibility to pay for a server, just ask questions about the dedicated server(s) that are planned to go up sometime next week as official North American servers, run by Shik and his team, please and thank you.

e: There is a thread already for that shit, by the way.

Texas is the Best by far. Players on the west coast can finally stop running 70-90 ping on the midwest servers.

[roymorrison]

Yes, I'm east coast and ping way better to Texas than to wherever the other servers are.

[Beans]

I don't know if Texas has more HIGH QUALITY PIPES going into it or something(I don't know how the internet works) but with similar amounts of people, most people get better pings on the TX battle server. Same with the black rose one.

You see the heat causes molecules to move faster therefore enabling the internet traffic to flow faster over the heated cables. What are you going to do in Chicago when the snow piles up and freezes the data in the pipes huh? Can't argue with science.

Tears of Destiny for Shik's admin pick?
