Server location suggestion (Qassimiut, Greenland)
-
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?
-
@admin You buy a prepaid credit card(or one of us), people donate to that prepaid credit card and you use that pre-paid credit card for the server payments

Me too. Let me know how I would check. Do we have an ip I can ping ?
