Server Move?

[Depili]

This is all so sudden that I think there wasn't ANY planning behind this

I disagree.

If server stays in finland and priitk wouldnt have ever spoke about moving, all would be happy and just continue playing TW.

(try to understand my english god damnit)

RIP TW.

TW won't die. Just the americans will get less lag and will get to complain about Euro laggers.

Like every other zone basicly.

I couldn't speak for that because I don't get to read Priitks private messages and ?messages but I would assume that this wasn't just done for no reason. Many Americans get pissed off that (although the majority of the players) they still have more lag then Euro's. I'm from the East Coast so I think it is a good move, but it is probably just my bias to my lag being low.

the thing that suprises me most in this is the total lack of any forward planning.

I want just one question answered, WHY?

and IMO the majority of the players ain't americans.

Selfish bastards. If SSCU is moving totally a portion of the SS population won't be able to go ANYWHERE. You North Americans have a whole group of zones where you can go.

This isn't in the intrest of the general SS population. There is another reason ... and I know as much as any of you what it is.

change keeps the game interesting... I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out.

Call this a biased opinion ,but, as a 6-month of the year east-coaster,i think the move will benefit TW more than anything, making it much more accesible, and to the whiney euros, of which i am one (6-months of the year), if you have a half decent connection , you can run 200 ms, which isn't that Gawd Awful terrible, despite the way it sounds. I do agree with the statement that most of trench's population is american, at least, the Pub arena population (what can i say ? all us yanks are nubs :P) and that is scary in itself, when you think about all the pubbers, having 30-120 ms... But anyway, i dont think this is something to get your panties in a bunch about, and no pre-meditation ? You must have absolutely no idea quite how much it would take, at least fer a newbie server operator myself, to move a zone to a new server and organize it all , so unless you can read minds, dont make stupid "My head is in my whiney ass" statements.
G'day

uh, I hope you guys realize that many european routes go through north america and back to finland anyway (thus euros being just as laggy as north americans). the only people who will suffer from this move are the scandinavians.

On east coast dialup I always used to get 200-250 ms pings to SSCU, which is pretty good. Lag effects become noticeable above 290 or so. To all you annoying scandinavians: The difference between 30 and 150 ms is minimal in terms of gameplay.

Only a matter of time until Sonera realized that hosting the game wasn't really in their best interests. I'm just glad Priitk was able to find a replacement server, could have been a whole lot worse. Seriously US players have been doing fine ever since VIE went down and US servers didn't exist for awhile (at least in the zones I was interested in, I don't have the best recollection of what was being hosted where). If you have a decent connection you'll still be fine.


Having your ping go from 30 to 150 is hardly going to kill you people. Thousands of US players have been playing for years like that and doing fine. And now you won't have to deal with all those US laggers that you were always complaining about.

I'm not rejoicing in the streets because personally having a ping of 140 instead of 20-30 never bothered me, but I don't think it's the end of world for Europeans. Sure a few 56kers in Europe won't get to play, but then USA players who haven't been able to play trench will finally get a chance to do so. There is no way to make it perfect for everybody.

Well I will now wait and see, as some of the initial shock has passed away

but gg sonera for hosting us free for about 6 years (or do I have the dates wrong)

[Mayo Inc.]

itll be fine. i just wanna hear some of the ?lag's that come from people who used to get 10ms and no ploss.
