NA servers: How to fix or How do we get better one?

[San]

Do well the first 20 minutes, then it becomes hard afterwards. Got killed by a long spear user even though I was holding downblock in front of him for at least a second. There were some other similar deaths near the end. Others are having similar lag issues, so I can't say I felt any more disadvantaged as the next guy, but combat certainly dumbs down a lot.

Chamber my HBS on horseback, does not swing for 3 sec when i release my left click then it finally releases in the face of a friendly 20 feet further down the road...GF

I have more fun doing battles on EU_3 with 115 ping than on NA_3 with 39, that tells you something

Yet you still manage to get some crazy feints off with that pick that hurt my eyes just trying to track it.

We are currently discussing and picking out possible alternative targets that offer a better hosting than what we have now. Looks like an xmas gift might be incoming.

Also, it's of course no secret what the current servers costs: It's about 230$ per month for NA, about 150€ per month for EU, and 50~something € per month for the webservers.

DONT MOVE THE SERVERS ANYWHERE BUT DALLAS

Dallas is central to the country and has good hosting companies available. California and Virginia would get the same ping. Makes sense to me.

So how much would an upgraded server cost? Because 230$ is not double the price of EU, since 175 euros is 230$. Unless when you say Na servers are double the price you mean a good one.

In which state are the NA servers currently hosted?

[a_bear_irl]

chicago (illinois)

Bear knows what he's talking about when he says move the servers to dallas. Doesn't fuck anyone over except for far northern canuckians. It's a nice 40-60 ping for just about everybody.

I believe chadz ordered a new server for na yesterday, with prices similar to the eu servers
