Where will the NW servers be hosted?

[lolSid]

Title says it all

[Spunned]

I believe that the official server box is located in germany..

Low Ping, Low Ping, Low ping, Hurray 

[Deofuta]

Well the current EU official MM server is in Germany no?

And the current US Official MM server is in Texas.

I would imagine similar places for the official servers. However, there will be plenty of privately owned servers that could be run anywhere people pleased.

Seeing as they're using Hetzner (or whatever it's called), I think it'll be in Germany

[SvenssonHD]

Germany is the perfect place to host servers in Europe, as I'd personally say it's very central. Noone European country member usually don't have a sloppy ping on German servers. But let's say the servers would be hosted in Italy for example, northern countries like Sweden, Norway etc wouldn't really enjoy the ping differences.

So all in all, Germany is the perfect place for server-hosting of you ask me.

I hope its Germany, I get about 30-40 on German servers.

[Wardr1]

grumble, this means we going to have to put up with Vampire, Robby, Kleist and the rest of the 8lr chums with their BS pings? D= unhappy face*

It depends a lot on every single player's connection though. My friend that lives in Holland has a better ping than mine in my server hosted in Milan, even though i live at 200 Km from Milan.

Sure, but all I was saying really was putting it up as a reference as a whole, as it is more likely that a person from let's say.. Greece would have a better ping on Italian servers rather than Swedes.

You got a point though with the individual's connection though, even though it's not usually that way.

Hopefully this thing will be big enough so the Americans get a official server each on the east and west coasts too.

I have to agree with you and i am pretty sure that the servers hosted by Vince will stay in germany.

yes, its the same server box.

[Sir Prince]

Bloody Europeans grumbling about it being in Germany, Texas is nowhere near being centrally located in North America and I usually get the same or higher ping on Texan servers than I do on East Coast ones. 100-140 ping doesn't stop me from cracking skulls though
