Server Ping
« on: July 09, 2004, 02:38:38 pm »
I was wondering if you guys are planning on getting any US servers in the future, or maybe a faster provider? I\'m from Texas in the United States and I\'ve run some tests to ping the PlaneShift server...

My connection is a cable modem running at 1.5/mbps download (256/kbps upload) and I\'m pinging at around 225-300 ms. Not that great :(

Some other providers to try might be:
www.gamedaemons.net
www.2am.com
(both of which offer servers running on the internet backbone and are very reliable)

Although that might cause up to a 1s. delay between where you think you are and where others think you are, I don\'t think it\'s critical (since Planeshift isn\'t really a \"twitch\" game)

Can you do a traceroute to find out where the delay is?  Internet conditions vary widely.

Also note that the Fragnetics server is *donated*, since PS aims to be entirely free, and that currently splitting the world between servers would cause fewer people to be around at any one time.
