Nakshmi 1 Posted August 29 So what happened to the east servers? We can all agree that the player base was mostly supported by the east servers right? I just entered today and found only west servers and therefore very few players playing. Looks like suddenly the game died after its glorious revival.

I don't know what happened to the east servers but compared to NA, EU servers usually have more than twice the players online at peak times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MageLO 136 Posted August 30 Hello everyone, please read the update from Matt about the NA East servers in the quote below. Quote Hey everyone, We've received a couple questions about the NA East servers, so I want to provide a quick update. After doing some analysis, we found that the current setup for NA East was very underutilized and often empty. As a result, we are reassessing potential new server locations to better serve our community, including developing a new strategy specifically for players in the NA East region. I appreciate your patience while we reorganize. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nakshmi 1 Posted August 30 Thank you, finally something being said. So just gotta wait then. But I'd like to know what does he mean by 'NA East was very underutilized and often empty'? I mean east is the choice of the majority of players from jericho so I don't really follow what he means by that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contrabands 0 Posted August 30 DEVS: What else can we do to kill this game... shutdown servers where most of NA play in?? GREAT IDEA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Extras 3 Posted August 30 They should setup "East" servers in AUS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, due to timezones, the East servers got populated first, and since most players want opp, they join the populated servers, so the East servers were always at Capacity. While we all know that West is Best, and East is Least (RIP Colby), claiming that East was "underutilized and often empty" is just flat out wrong for the most of the week, unless you look at very specific times, like maybe 4am EDT. when the main playerbase is asleep. My wild speculation- They need an excuse to move the servers to a cheaper location, so they just said something that sounds plausible if you don't think about it too much.

BlatMan 711 Posted August 30 Shove the US servers in Texas or Florida. Half the pop is from Brazil. It doesn't make sense to keep them so far north in the US. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did yall mixup East and West or are you just switching servers because its too expensive to run? West servers are god awful for stable ping and were only ever used when EAST servers were full. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet they mixed up their east/west configuration, and that's why hitreg is so bad some days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niw 1 Posted August 31 Since the update, East has been loaded; it might be worth reviewing the recent activity analysis. West is double the latency for most East side connections. It's unfortunate because the performance over the past few weeks had been the best I've experienced in years. To good to be true I guess.

East servers are literally the ones populated 99% of the time. Most of NA's population isn't from NA (it's primarily Brazilians migrated from the shuttered Hoplon servers), and they get best connection to the East servers. For the minority of players (actual NA players, what little remains of the Asians and SEA, etc), they just end up on East servers anyways because of this (which keeps the East servers the populated ones between maints). The West servers get populated maybe once every few months, at best. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The West servers get populated maybe once every few months, at best. You've conceded why they did it in your comment, it's better for international players. Oceanic and Asian players would have a real horrible time on US East which is why there's so few of us now. We use to have a dedicated server in HAN before it got killed off because of player count. It was actually healthier when it was hosted in AUS though many SEA players would refuse to admit it because at least you had a good amount of dedicated Australian players who'd get on everyday keeping the server going. Europeans are essentially served already with their own servers so the East Coast servers would only serve East Coasters and Southern Americans. Maybe that's the thought behind the server change, honestly I'd hope to one day see an SEA server again but I know it'd never happen with how ill the population is but it was nice to come back this week to see the update for the little time I played.
