U.S. Based Server
« on: January 08, 2005, 09:48:42 pm »
For whatever reason, when I emailed Fragnetics regarding lag on PS, they told me NEVER to expect to get anything better than an average of 350-400ms pings from the current server.

With the massive demand currently being presented to the game, especially now that virtually every system is being welcomed into the PlaneShift world: it seems only logical for another server to emerge.

There are NUMEROUS very cheap hosting options available, and I would be very happy to provide you with some links.  I myself, have a dedicated Neverwinter Nights server being hosted out of the US East Coast, and players from around the world experience little to no lag (200ms or below for ALL players).

I play with 400 - 500 perfect. Its not a FPS. More servers will split up the gaming population. Almost all gaming servers are in the US, and their always the first to complain when its not. get over it. And how many people play NVM?? isent it 6??? not 100+.

400-500ms ping is FAR from perfect.  Having a U.S. based server is a very smart option, considering PlaneShift advertises directly to the US Market.

And asking if NWN (I dont know what the hell acronym NVM is supposed to stand for) can only support 6 people is a joke.  My server is a dedicated 32 players server, and is the #2 ranked NWN gameworld.  Not only that, but NWN offers seemless gameworld linking, where you don\'t even realize you have changed servers.

I think I know a thing or two about hosting a server, and the benefits there in: my server is free to play on, and I get WEEKLY donations from players to help support the server.  Virtually, it has paid for itself since the day I purchased it.

So, \"where would the devs get it anyways\"?  Well, if by \"it\" you mean money, very simply: DONATIONS.  With such a substantial player base, it is ubsurd to think that people wouldn\'t be willing to donate cash to help support their favorite server.

Lemme\' tell ya something.

I am perfectly fine living with a 400ms ping.  I dislike the idea of separating the Europeans from the Americans.  It\'s unhealthy for both groups politically and socially, as well as dangerous.  I do not desire a real-time fighting system.

I have no server lag.  Only render lag.

NWN = never winter nights....

Free?? Get it?? FREE??!?!?!
You?re probably only getting graphical lag anyway...   -_-

I play 400-600 and it?s FINE!!!
My friend on dial up is mostly fine, a few jumps here and there but livable
Get over it!! Oh no!! America doesn?t have the free server??? Oh dear god?? What has it been like for Australia!?! Do you know how many times I have to play on crappie American servers! Just get over it!! = P

And there are players from all over the globe?.
Its not a fps, just get over it, its not 32 max! its 60+ basically ALL day.

There is ~100 people currently on this server and you already want a server for each geographic area? Because i guess there is at least as many Europeans peps than American ones... So we would get a lot of server with ~5 players each! Wipee!

You couldn\'t have said better to prove it won\'t be able to support 100+ (if not 1000+) (while Fragnetics one can up to 1000 if i remember what devs said in another thread that got buried by a bunch of Kewl! I get lot of EXP! or Help! Can\'t type @! - whatever)

[edit] What the hell?? two people replied while replying :(

In PS, 400-500ms works very good because of how the netbase is constructed.

You also said that there are very cheap options.. very cheap isn\'t a option, if it aint free we can\'t use it. We have a long list of companies offering free hosting of normaly quite good hosting services that costs money (fragnetics is one of them, eWebspace is another). If we want to set up more servers, there are no problems. But ATM we don\'t want to

Zellgadess: it has nothing to do with the US wanting/having \"the free server\".  The thing that you need to seem to \"get over\" is your bad attitude towards Americans.

And I never asked for 5 servers, I asked for a US Based server, and I don\'t think it is too bizarre.

And you don\'t want to break up the Europeans from the US?  Are you serious? Half of the Europeans don\'t even speak English while on PS, so why would we care?

Well thanks for your racist attitude....

And i don?t have problems with normal happy Americans, just ignorant ones...

Racist?  1st off, being American isn\'t a race man.

White, Black, Asian: those are races.

2nd, you were the one who jumped down my throat with your \"assumptions\" of my thoughts.  Next time, read what you post.  Otherwise, you just make yourself look stupid.

Thank you for a LOGICAL explanation/post, instead of just a rant like the others here.

And FYI, when I said Cheap, I was speaking money wise, NOT quality.

I cant get it.

I often have over 700. My FPS never drops under 14.5 (well not never but very rarely) and I dont have a NASA super comp.

Merdarion: I\'m using the Mac Client, amigo, so I can\'t speak for the Windows build\'s performance.

I know the Mac Client is a \"Beta of a Beta\" and being \"Held together by Duct Tape\", so I will just wait and see what performance enhancements are going to be made.

splitting the gaming poulation would not be so bad,

do it by language (english, spanish, french, german and other major languages) that way the people will not loose online friends and bilingual people could use more then one world
