laggy server

[bloodykiller]

lately the server has been lagging a LOT (for everyone, not just me). it's not a ping-related lag, it simply lags for like 5seconds whilst maybe ur shooting someone and being shot at. only after that time the hits are recorded. this has been happening every day constantly for like a month or so..

as many of u guys remember, about a year ago the server was moved from east coast usa to west coast usa. the server change was a downgrade since the ppl on the west coast had very little benefits and the ppl on the east coast started lagging like hell (some americans run at 100-150ping), as well as penalising europeans a lot: my lag used to go down to 150, now it's minimum is 190 but i'm usually averaging ****ing 250ms which really sicks, i invite any of u to try pking with such a high lag. i pay for a 8mega internet and average 6-7mega download speed: it's an average connection which works perfect with any other game..i don't get host on COD but i'm always on a 4bar (4 out of 4) connection.

i realise that Tim and the era staff team can't do anything (although i don't exclude that the lags we've been seeing lately are caused by the change of gmap), so i invite the global staff team (in specific unixmad and stefan who actually have the power to give us a decent server like we once used to have) to do something about this. give us the server of zodiac or some other game where ping is not as crucial as as on era..and preferably on the east coast, if it's not gonna be in europe
