Petition to make NA1 a West Coast Server

[Sergee]

YES I WANT TO PING CRUTCH

[Malaclypse]

I'd be okay with an Official West Coast server, but would prefer a central one still be used for strat functions.

I'd take a Dallas server. I'm closer to Chicago, yet get better ping in Dallas. Like 20 less...

And Artene, that is why I said the people who vocalized their opinion. Thank you keep reading.

texas seems fair

The official server also serves as a Strategus server. Europeans consist of the majority of that playerbase, and it's annoying for them to have to deal with the 180-300 (as opposed to 100-200) ping a west coast server would introduce. That's another argument against a switch, I believe.

Naturally, though, Texas sounds tasty. I'm about 3 hours away from Dallas.

I do feel that it's a need an unofficial server should fulfill, though.

Kansas server!

Strat one should obviously be pretty central.

Not all have to be west coast. Just leave duel central.

[Anal Bleeding]

keep it central, yo.

Kansas server!

FUCK THESE FORUMS ARE RETARDED!


TOOOOO-PEEEEEE-KAAAAAA!

[Huey Newton]

Texas server would be nice.
I get 60-70 for texas servers as opposed to 75-95 in chi town 

Or even a denver server 


or even a San Jose server

[Sergee]

Yup we had a Texas it was awesomeeeeee

[Oggrinsky]

Yeah, I'd definitely prefer a Texas server. Chicago isn't exactly "central"... it's kind of east-midwest. When I lived in NYC this didn't bother me. But, go figure, I moved back out to Portland and my ping is now usually about 80-100 instead of the 40-70 I enjoyed while living on the east coast. So yeah, now it irks me that the "central" server isn't really central but in the east side of the midwest. It'd be awesome to crutch on some 10-30 ping like the midwesterners enjoy right now. I say yes to a west coast server. Texas would be acceptable as well.

[Darkkarma]

Dallas, my dudes

[Ganner]

While a California server would be AWESOME for those of us here on the Best Coast, Texas servers would serve adequately.  When the servers used to be in Texas i would average between 30-40 ping, when it moved to Chicago, it jumped to 70-90 and sometimes over 100 when the servers are full.  Community seems worse for me because the connection is not as stable to the NA servers for some reason so the ping spikes are more severe.

TLDR: Bring back Texas hosting.

I'm a selfish pig and as such support a West Coast server, preferbly in LA. It would drop my ping and lower the jitter I get. But I'm only one person on the other side of the world cursing his community for abandoning him. I aboozed my powers but once! BUT ONCE!

Edit: Just did some testing. I vote Dallas. Give me a much more stable reading than I get from Chicago and it isn't much worse than LA, less jitter for some reason. I'm pretty sick of ice skatting so the insanely low jitter would be lovely.
