=VG= SemlerPDX Posted March 13, 2012 at 05:05 AM Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 at 05:05 AM In an effort to make our servers more accessible to a larger audience, we have been looking for a more centralized location for our international game servers. Currently, our game servers are not consolidated in location or hardware. By combining our services, we would be able to offer faster services on a more central network to us all, and on more modern hardware.Here are the specs on one of the servers we're looking at, and HDD/RAM can be upgraded as needs dictate:VETERANS-GAMING will always be dedicated to our gamers first and foremost, and the concern of location must be addressed. As we have gamers from Australia to Russia, we would like to get a good cross section of all our pings to the potential servers available, as well as our current servers. We need to find out your ping to New York, New York - go to speedtest.net and then answer the poll above.If you can, we'd also appreciate your results to each potential server location. Please use Internet Speed Test to get your data and post the image below in a post. Feel free to tell us what you think about our proposed change.At http://www.speedtest.net/, get your results and click Share This Result - click COPY on the URL share link, and here in the forums, type it like this to get an embedded image like the ones below: [img]http://www.speedtest.net/result/1830462615.png[/img] Please post your results to Gloucester, England and New York, New York. We would also appreciate additional data, if you are able, to Dallas, Texas and Chicago, Illinois. Thank you so much for you assistance!My Ping to Gloucester, England:My ping to New York, New York:--------------------------------------My ping to Chicago, Illinois:My ping to Dallas, Texas: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= Dilligaf Posted March 13, 2012 at 06:33 AM Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 at 06:33 AM 260-280 give or take 10-15, but that is bearable compared to the 350-400 in Euro atm, but as you said we have to consider a fair middle for both sides of the globe, i always thought Around the East Coast of US would give a pretty even fair playable'ish ping for all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= Murderface0151 Posted March 13, 2012 at 12:37 PM Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 at 12:37 PM about 290, but defo better than the 390-13,000 (i've actually had 13,000 before yes)and i agree with Dilli on this one, east coast would be good to look into, but then again European players would suffer.. dang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= SemlerPDX Posted March 17, 2012 at 12:02 AM Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 at 12:02 AM Chicago is best. I've done some digging and they have a very good national speed for what we want. In the tests I was doing, Atlanta came up kinda iffy, and inconsistant. Why not go with a major hub like Chicago if people have good numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
