It's a pretty big difference for most players; my latency has at least doubled, as it has for many others.

We did an in-game poll a few days ago:


Since the server moved to Seattle, has your latency increased?




Obviously results are going to be somewhat biased toward the extremes, but I think it's clear enough that most players would prefer the server be hosted in Dallas.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm probably going to lose a lot of sleep over Tk quitting. I'm just so devastated.

I agree ^

i though u guys were of the theory that lag helps me pk

Whose decision is it to move the server?

I don't doubt the results are in the right ball park, but that looks like a leading question to me.

It's negligible. People have been complaining about it for a long time now.

the ridiculous part is that every1 complains about how laggy era is and the servers keep getting worst. stefan should decide if he still wants to work with pc servers, otherwise he should consider selling graal or just the pc part of it

No doubt that there's a difference, but considering some servers don't rely on serverside related scripts a lot it will vary. I can see how it's a problem on Era, but on a server like Zodiac its a bit less noticeable. I do agree though, it needs to be moved back to Dallas...or preferably even the east coast. There's no reason why a game that has a majority USA/European playerbase would be hosted on the west coast where it should be on the east coast or south at maximum, which is the norm on competitive games.

On top of this we also had the server backup lag issues that a lot of players will confuse with this higher latency.

new york is the same latitude as naples (almost at the very south of europe), therefore the north east or even eastern canada would be the best options.
server quality is also an issue though

It's pretty hilarious how I get better pings to my VPS, which is sitting in Phoenix. Actually, no, I guess that's rather sad.

This is how we're all connected (inter-continently):

They definitely should go with New York if they want to please NA and EU the most.
