U.S. Based Server

Really good post Stydracos.
Anway, just my opinion about the language-specific server which I despise (I think it\'s the right word).

You believe there is a problem when you can\'t understand what people are saying around you? So what...?
Many many times I have been asked \"Ger?\" due to my nick which looks German and many many times I have answered \"Twra ti perimeneis na soy pw re file\".
If I have to face it that I can\'t speak German (no offense to the Germans out there, but at MMORPGs at Europe at least 1 at 2 is German) then he will face it that he doesn\'t speak Greek. We can try English, French, Italian perhaps. Heck, I have even tried speaking Turkish once. It failed, anyway.

It\'s like the real world. I am willing to accept that I can\'t communicate with most of the people, but at least I can try. In real life you wouldn\'t work that easily with a person you can\'t understand even a little bit right?

Consider yourselves lucky, I on average get 1s (1000 ms) pings, with the lowest ever seen ping being 950 ms.

The Singapore link seems a wee bit loaded as websites at Singapore is averaging about 600 ms more than to Europe and US.

I believe Stydracos posted a perfect answer and this not only because I\'m a Blitzer myself.

On an added note, I\'ve yet to find an american server giving me the kind of ping I get from Fragnetics.

This thread is stupid because the question in it has been answered so many times by both devs and people, yet some can\'t seem to understand that first of all, servers aren\'t free and they don\'t hang on trees. Fragnetics gives a free dedicated server to the PS team, one that would cost many thousand dollars a month to set up, host and maintain if they did it on their own. And that isn\'t something a lot of people would do for free, while also providing the guarantee that the server would still be available in a year or two years.

That\'s also why they would never accept private server hosts, because when people would get tired of PS (in a month at most) they\'d take down the server because then they\'re bored and want to use it somewhere else.

So anyway, thread closed so stop flaming eachother.
