They are not down because of the planned Chicago move, the servers will remain at Dallas for another two weeks.
Thanks.
That chicago move is going to make me a sad panda. I know with your better hosting the chicago will be 90 ping for me, trather than 110 for the ATS chicago servers -- but having 50 ping to dallas matters. The difference is night and day.

I'm someone who crutches on my reaction time being ~110ms, and just let my character play autopilot 95% of the time. I should probably pay attention to the game more than talking in ts/vent...
The difference in ping to dallas to chicago is the difference in my ability to chamber held attacks. I can't do it with 90 and higher ping. I do it reliably in the dallas duel server though. Chambering held attacks is a fucking small window. Have to click as soon as they release it from their hold, the latency is just enough to make that window too small.
I also have a bad habit of blocking once I see their swing completing, something I can't do with high ping. It lets me double swing everybody who holds or feints though, hahaha.

There were no ulterior reasons for moving, no monetary reasons, no pressured reasons, just logic.

Have a nice day.

It'd be nice if you could explain the logic, rather than just asserting there was any.

Didn't he already? Chicago is more central, it makes sense. No stop whining and pray to chadz that another strat server will open down south.

...keep in mind Strategus is used on these servers, and as I've stressed before I'd rather have a mainstream equal provider where everything can share in good response times, happy go lucky latency, and jolly good ping....
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I'm not whining, I'm trying to gain of understanding of why things are happening as they are. You people throw around the "whine" card far too often....

The argument that Chicago is a more central, therefore better location for the server, seems counter to the fact that the Dallas server was the only one populated by any real amount of people at any given time the past week I've been around, especially if you consider the fact that there were Chicago servers up concurrently. As far as open and shut cases go, this one seems pretty easy. So there must be some other reason for the move, monetary or otherwise, but hey at least we get another two weeks out of it (or whatever is left of it after it's back up).

Oh, and numbers and maths are fine and dandy, but I know what my experience is with the difference of 30 ping, and it matters. Laugh at me crying.

Chicago isn't more central :/, besides there are just as many west coast players as canadian players -- and already 5 chicago servers.

I understand the strategus argument, but the relative difference of 190 ping vs 220 ping is less than 50 vs 80.

Oh, I've taken many a year of logic courses, which is why I fail to see any here. But I think I get the picture now. Enjoy.

So have I, one of my degrees relies on Boolean which is pure logic... Way to sound like a total snob with your subtle insult, nice job.

Logically though, one would research the new servers before saying anything about if it was a good choice to move or not. *points to Zealot's above post* try that.

Yes... Chicago has higher ping than Dallas (or ideally, Los Angeles with 14  :shock:).....

Subtle insult? Better than the overt ones being bandied about, no?

I've worn out my welcome. As have many of you. It was real.

Ideally for whom exactly when we look at the total population counting Canada?

Subtle insult? Better than the overt ones being bandied about, no?
Yet also worse then no insult at all.
