NA Strategus Server Poll

[Secret Agent Cow]

God damn it goatee

[Mannhammer]

Remember NA is a Large area. Living on the West coast of the US my ping runs between 70-90 on the ATS server.

If an official cRPG/Strat server is going up for NA.

Could we please set up the official server in central geography? (for example Texas, North Dakota?) It's good middle ground for the whole NA cRPG community.

It's currently slated to be located in Chicago.

Official North American Servers

Read below for more information..

So chadz asked me to post here to announce something to you guys, since you brought this thread up yourself.

For the last couple weeks I've been in talks with chadz to organize a set of servers for both, Battle, Siege, and Strategus that are officially endorsed by chadz, and his entire staff of official admins. This was only being discussed due to the fact there were no "official" servers for North America, unlike the European servers, which are official.

So long story short: I'm going to be throwing up a well-specced box (I'm a little too lazy to use multiple ones, deal with it) and paying for it, off this box the official North American servers will be hosted on it. The new official North American servers will be a..

Battle Server, Siege Server, and the official Strategus Server, slots for each of these servers is still being decided.

The servers and their entirety will be run and moderated by chadz and his team of moderators, these servers are completely neutral, and I have no control over them whatsoever. Remember: they are run by chadz, not me.

Consider this my gift to the community.

The servers are estimated to go up sometime next week, we'll see if the payment goes through without complications, but I'm estimating it for sometime next week. Just stick to the fact, this is a reality, and it is coming when it comes, I'll try to be as speedy as possible.

Remember, these are official servers run by chadz and his moderation teams, not run by me.

Did everyone completely miss this line? If his name is on the order form for the server HE will have control of it. Going on only the information we have, this is what it looks like.

Really this whole shit storm could of been avoided. There is VERY poor communication going on...  Not only was this deal placed without knowledge from the NA community. chadz had someone who a lot of the NA community is wary of announce it.

What should of happened is chadz making a official post about wanting official NA Servers. I guarantee if you would of trusted the community instead of going behind our backs this shit storm would of never happened.

A) Only chadz can change battle times, which he does rarely for any reason.  Usually he effectively says "lulz deal with it."
B) People have brains: if they want to keep playing, they should rejoin on their own.  It is the individual's fault if he doesn't come back, ATS has no blame in that.  I always rejoin battles that crash as a merc.  And I recall a lot more than 30 rejoining, more like 40-50.
C) We had no idea what would happen when the server crashed.  personally I thought the battle would get bugged and ATS would lose everything (soldiers/equip).  Fortunately that didn't happen and it went back to the start of the battle.
D) We did get a better strategy the second time around, simply because we had more experience attacking the castle.  Throughout the battle we were getting more experience and getting better.  The defenders should have done the same.  Not our fault if they didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

So they should have rejoined a battle they didn't know they were able to? ...What? You realize that... you know what, no you clearly don't realize. I think a lot of people in this thread are having trouble realizing. The official servers are coming. They will be better. They will be unbiased, They will be totally controlled by chadz, and it doesn't matter if Ecko uses his admin powers to spam in all the servers asking people to come here and vote on his biased misinformed poll. Strategus WILL be awesome and run amazingly no matter how hard you fight it.

Perhaps you just need to get in the car and ride, since the door is open and the driver has his license.

But who is controlling the radio and climate control?!

I think the radio is the developmental difference between nature and nurture.

ats admin is why i stop playing this game.

Add one more idiot to the list for not noticing that there are alternative servers like Blackrose or Texas or Tunatown etc...

[Gamerofthegame]

Can we stop this, now?

You're all being retarded on various levels of it. It's a Strat server, something the Goons have been lazing about waiting for to come back so they can play again. They're not going to sabotage it. Further more, it's going to be better then Ecko's currently intended Strat server on the virtue of hardware and less actual individual servers on one box. (See; As I am aware, Ecko's server hosts all of them on the same box, this Strat will only have it on one.)

There are whispers and observations of ATS (And such) abusing their "power" in regards to the server as admins, some in regards to old Strat. Did these necessarily happen? Maybe. Does it really matter? No, the server is run by ATS - That's a bias. This movement means that the server will be managed by the very makers of the mod and selected people among the community as a whole. Not just, mostly, a clan. How is that worse?

It isn't.

You all are speaking of Zealot being able to fuck with the server... Well, let's assume he will, for this argument's sake; chadz no doubt removes the official support of the server. Who else has Strat server stuff? Ecko. So Zealot wasted a fair amount of money and now Ecko is hosting the strat server, anyway. Wouldn't that be a good thing, then? The person you loathe for some reason or another gets damaged and in the end "you" still "win"?

Me, me, go for me !
Ecko just gave me thy blessing ! I'll have Hardnesskiller to second me in this hard task, and i'll find 29 other buddies too, to be sure to be there at all time. Oh god, we're going to have fun work.
Thanks for your blessing Ecko again. Thread can be close now, thanks.

ToD doesn't like logic. Give him analogies. Cars ftw.
