Server location suggestion (Qassimiut, Greenland)
-
Qassimiut, Greenland.
It's half way in between Europe and USA. Should help everyone - however most of us EU players get an OKAY ping on the NY server (roughly 60-100) - but Qassimiut, Greenland seems quite good on both ends.
Crank/John + other Americans distance away from the current Frankhurt server is around 3500-4500miles (Unplayable)
Whereas
Reaper/Faker//Mikkel & other EU players distance away from Frankhurt is around 300-500 miles which is relatively local and even closer for Mikkel who lives in The Netherlands.
This location AKA Qassimiut, Greenland. Is quite close to everyone.
EU PLAYERS
NA PLAYERS
(Better than being 5000 miles away...) (In greenland no one will be sufferring with over 140 ping and if you are it would most likely just be down to your own internet connection/provider)
Just for the record, I was 3500 miles away from the NY server and was still able to get a ping of 60-70 consistently. A lot of this stuff is down to your internet providers.

Are you serious, Greenland? :) I'm not sure there are hosting providers in Greenland
-
@admin Looool oops didn't consider that, guess America it is 😂
-
@admin What ping did you get on the NY server?
-
I had a 120 ping
-
Greenland is not out of the question, we just create our own hosting facilities there! it's time for OB to expand!
-
@admin Haha, new years resolutions
-
I think Greenland is probably the best option. My average ping to Nuuk servers was 97ms. I want to say that Qassimiut will probably be 90ms roughly. I'm interested to see what Sniper's ping would be at.

Found this one in Greenland, dedicated servers cost $72 a month, I can't pay that now. https://www.sectorlink.com/location/country/greenland

@King-John Probably still quite high - would just need to ask @the-sniper to ping greenland and see what he gets. I'm sure we've got enough people to chip in @admin once we find an ideal server. I'll chip in myself too.
-
@admin Newfoundland and Labrador CANADA! This would be a very good server too! Because it caters to all of the USA players which are 90% of the playerbase. @King-John, what ping do you get from Newfoundland and Labrador Canada?
-
It's not only distance, but also the bandwidth and type of connections available in these locations. Europe is basically one big giant optic fiber, whereas I could imagine connections to Greenland would be by satellite. But only one way to find out.
-
@admin Oh right, i'm good with whatever server everyone thinks would be best. Let us know what server would be the absolute best of the best regardless of the price.
-
I don't know which server would be the best, it will come down to trial and error. I doubt we can find a server that is perfect for everyone though, distance will always be a problem.
-
@admin Yeah in terms of distance I think Newfoundland and Labrador CANADA is really good for everyone.
-
New York worked..
-
Not for everyone.
-
@admin Greenland is good because it's in the middle of EU and NA. But yeah Canada can be quite far for EU players. Make a post about donating Mikkel, give us a goal and I'm sure we'll reach it.
-
If someone pays for a server I will set it up..won't connect my own credit card to it though, but if you give me access I will set it up.
-
@admin Isn't there a way to do a one off payment where there's no recurring payment ? What about a pre-paid card?
-
I'm not sure, what do you mean?
