EU 4 would use less then EU 1 or 2 as it is lower populated.
we are talking 4-6 times less as it is less populated and therefore less demanding.
It had a average of 20 players on it and it would not come near the 100+ of EU 1.
therefore less processing and ram loads on the server and therefore cheaper then EU 1
also it requires more i dont know how much, but more power when having a server running with above normal game engine limits of player population in internet speed and the rest.
Its not like they are having a really new and powerfull server they just upgraded to, right?
I wouldnt mind setting up a server here at me i have the hardware, its just stupid that i would have the best ping. People would be having shit pings and if i decided to download anything EU 4 would go down the drain.
and funding it sounds pretty stupid to buy a new server if they have one that probably could take the load which is running EU 1, 2 and 3 and could be set to run EU 4 as EU 3 is not populated except durring strat battles where people migrate from EU 1, 2 and 4 so load woudl stay nearly the same anyway.
The money or server cost reason is not something you can say is a problem when it certainly is not rumblood.

and grumpy nic why the hell do you have such a attitude against EU 4 its not like we are asking you to join it or anything.
you are saying ebcause it where running with a different attitude that we liked you dont think it should be there we are all the same and must like the same !
its just us "scum of EU 4" that want our server back and it has nothing to do with EU 1, 2 or 3.
