[cRPG_NA][SERVER][100_SLOT] Official Information page

[dtrogers]

The difference between a 120 and a 100 man server (as explained to me) is a wapping 20-40 ping increase. It has nothing to due with server type or server location; it is the lovely M&B engine.

What's the point of having ANOTHER chicago server?  I'd rather have an east coast and a west coast since that's where 80% of people live.

What's the point of complaining about this same subject yet again.  Chicago was in the middle, allowing everyone to play with everyone in the NA.  Personally I'd rather have the server in Seattle, where I can drive to it and install shit on it.

If there are going to be 3 NA c-rpg servers, doesn't it make sense to spread them out so people can play where they get a decent ping?  Whether you have 3 75 man servers in chicago or 1 200 man server in chicago the vast majority of NA players live on the coast and have a ping reaching near 100.  If you had 1 east coast, 1 central, and 1 west coast then everybody could play with a ping of ~50.

You're a rossi supporter aren't you goreth?

Sure and we'd all be playing on a server with only 20 people all the time at peak....
Hell the original reason the servers were picked in the central area was because clans have central, east and west coast players.  Who do you fuck over in your clan if you put it on one coast or the other?  Do the west coast clan members give the east coasters the finger, or vice verca?  Central guys get off easy.

Nope.  I'm an anti-government supporter, but since that really isn't practical at all, I'm a socialist on paper.

If we're talking strictly about the United States, I still don't get why it's in Chicago.  40 ping for East Coast players and 100 ping for West Coast players does not seem entirely "centralized" to me.  Dallas was a lot more balanced for the U.S.

But of course, those damned Canadians have to ruin everything, like they ruined freedom.

Agreed

In part I'm a selfish prick who lives in Michigan so it would be very hard to run a server with which i have a very poor connection toward. On the other hand I consider all of NA not just America and there are a lot of Canadians that play. (with epic pings despite any location they live in btw) Since Mexicans don't play the server in Chicago makes most sense.

P.S. Gorath is too lazy to go to Chicago take a shit in the server. win win

Not so much laziness as economics.  Do you have any idea how much gas is here?  That's alot of money just to shit on the server.

[Devilize]

I'm happy your too poor to take a shit.

[Havoco]

Yes, it would be nice to have a server that was ACTUALLY in the middle of the U.S. Be nice to have a server around Kansas and have everyone get no more than 70 ping. (except devilize he gets 80 ping from a server that's less than 100 miles from him lol)

I'm rocking my 1.3 mg DSL from Frontier on their super awesome copper lines in the middle of farm ville. There is one pro to this though, I can actually play rock band 3 they way it was intended with no worries about bothering the neighbor a half mile away.
