Bolognapwny 137 Posted January 16, 2019 Just a question? Can we get an answer? Any plans to move them to Chicago where they should be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodo 147 Posted January 16, 2019 Simple answer... server provider. The few EU based games I have found that got US based hosting have had the WORST providers in the history of service providers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't that mean tha EU player will have better ping when playing NA?, that's interesting, though that wouldst be problem to play on NA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh, everywhere ping is trash..., unless the server have like 20 max players, those are just some wired potatos not servers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I'm not an expert, my personal belief hearing about this is that it has to do with how traffic for the game is routed, more so then the actual location of the servers, since Wildcard probably has contract with their service provider (Which is in Europe). It's likely Connecting to NA servers routes you through a US hub before hitting EU, while EU servers routes you through EU hubs. If you're in EU and try an NA server, you'll route to a hub somewhere, likely, in Atlanta before being bounced over business/commercial grade networks to their service host provider in Germany. As an aside, I'm unsure if the US has server/network architecture sufficient for Wildcard's needs available to their financial situation. In terms of that sort of technological availability, US has lagged behind for some time, and it would explain why we're playing games on servers in Europe despite playing on an NA server.

Ringo O'Rourke 41 Posted January 17, 2019 The server provider Nitrado, which I believe is the official ATLAS host, is a German company. They do have US server farms though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
