Ghost of the past here :)
Since i moved to europe my pings are in 200ms area which makes the game more or less unplayable. I know that some people can handle it ok, i just can't.
So, question is:
Are there any plans for a server in Europe ?
I have as quick connection as I can get in here and 150ms is best i can do. Worst is steady 300ms :( But to servers in London i'm about 35ms time, the ocean hoop takes about 70 do 100 ms :(
So, what's the plan ? Gonna expand into europe or what ? Tell HT i'll get him a bottle of the weird stuff he drinks :)

Just checked the times to our Corp. HQ servers in the UK. Yup It's bad. 1st hop over the pond was 174ms then they averaged around 100.
There are a lot of guys playing in the UK. Are you sure it is net speed that is causing all your problems?

its distance:)
FD i doubt you could have better connection, most of guys from Europe have 200+ (mostly around 300)
-
well, i can't handle 200-300 range. Close range scissors, guy overshoots, is in front of you, and then you get pinged and killed. On his FE, I was in front of him :( Same thing happends in WB. Just a natural netlag due to distance.
Therefore... how about a Euro server HT ? Gotta expand and all :D

No plans for it fdski. This time of year is always bad for the Internet. It will probably get better in August or September again.

Playing from germany i have 150 range of ping. Had 250 with another provider. So its not that bad connection for all of europe.
While i still have problems at times with packet loss or unsteady connection it is ok most of the time.

i am just out side london and depending on time of day my ping goes from 120 up to 160,only once have i every been below 110.

Same conect as Schutt here. (down to same router)
The problem per se isnt the longer ping time. Ill gladly take a 300ms ping thats STABLE over a 100 ping thats unreliable and variant.
These last weeks, connect has been a bit haywire, but its still mostly playable (the one Spitty that shot me from 50 yds in front of my gun, well, i just shrugged and moved on). Past experience showd that those jumpy connects tend to calm down after a few weeks.
Where in Europe are you?
Ask around in your neighbourhood, maybe changing provider can improve your connect.

He is in Warsaw, Poland
When i was there my pings range from Dial -up run around 350-450.
Due HT server code ots still plyable, but you have to learn a little bit diferent style of fight.
FD ask guys on our website how they hande it.
