Advertising the Washington, and Ukraine servers more

[drosebush]

I believe that a good portion of the California community, having more than 130 ping, should be given the chance to relocate to closer servers, such as Washington, or Ukraine. It would probably fix the very low player count of 56-73 on washington at peak player count, and an even lower number on Ukraine. Living in New Brunswick, Canada, I have a 60-80 ping to washington, 130-250 to cali, and 100-130 to ukraine. Any player that has been here for an extended amount of time knows that 130 ping and higher is unplayable, and while there is a method to make the game more playable, its just not thrown out there for people to know it!

The only way to do this I can imagine is to not have a default sever which is always first in the servers list, but to have their order randomized, or at least the one to display by default should be choosen randomly.

Eh, it's sad to know that some people are too stupid to scroll through servers list in order to make their experience better.

Or, they're lazy...

You have just killed me with this sentence.
Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about, from 10 to 240 it is playable, and if not, then you may be just bad not to deal with a lagger.

Basically that, if people had a bit of common sense they would check what those tiny arrows are in both sides...

This seems to be the best option, or Eric can add a small message saying "click either left or right arrows to switch servers".

130 ping is playable. And I think relocating the servers won't fix anything, we've discussed this many times before and never got anything to change.

What you expect people with low intellect in this world?

Sadly the world is full of them.

Adding a system that detects when a player has over 250 ping and notifying them with a message like "Hey, your ping is high. Try switching to the X server since your location is closer to there" would fix this problem almost instantaneously.

That's a thought anyway.
