Re: PS2 confirmed to only have servers in one area of USA


From AUS to West Coast would be around 200ping which is good, whereas over on East Coast i'd say 260-300 area... Europe is 330-360...

Re: PS2 confirmed to only have servers in one area of USA


Emerald used to be 90-103ms for me
Gemini in its new home SOE SD is now 186-203ms with random disconnections every play session.
My ping to most game servers in Germany 85 -130ms

UK based

I really was hoping for a set of east coast servers so i could avoid prosatpro7 if i wanted to.

i dont really give a crap about who owns the server i am playing on.

if the server works and things like the store or managed by SOE ( same currecy, same items etc.) then i dont see how it matters in the slightest.

sure the phone helpdesk will be by pro7 ,but i have been gaming for 20 years and i have never called to any games phone helpdesk for any reason.

Hmm, I suspect it won't be that big of a deal. 9 years ago I played PS1 on Emerald (east coast) from Washington state. Service to homes and overall pipe speed has increased dramatically since then...

If I lived in Australia I would have started tunneling my way to the mainland by now, if only to get away from the spiders.

Wondering if this will affect you? http://pingtest.net/ will give you a clearer idea of your ping possibilities.

Guys, its 2012. If you're having ping issues when connecting from East coast to West coast or vice versa, purchase the faster internet option from your ISP.

I live in South Florida and I have no issue playing on West Coast servers. Heck, even when PS1 released, I picked Markov, not paying attention that it was a West Coast server. I don't understand where the issues are coming from. Why can't you play with 100-150ms?

I'm sure they will have the servers in Texas for the US and the EU servers somewhere in Ireland.

I've got a 20mb line, and my ping varies from 160-250 compared to a east cost of 30-70. There is a significant difference, which is why even blizzard still launches games on multiple server locations.

Take it from an enterprise WAN data technician for an ISP:

It's not ping times that kill your FPS game, it's jitter.

Most games take latency into consideration. It's a pretty awesome science; they've got algorithms that work out where you were x milliseconds ago and where the other guy was and whether the shot actually landed etc.

What throws that off is inconsistency with ping times. If it's going back and forth all over the place, it's going to screw with your game.

Jitter isn't dependent upon distance however, it mostly depends upon carriers and the quality of their equipment.

So really, everyone is in a panic about this and it doesn't make a huge difference.

Playing with +150 is shit to US west, yet alone playing with like 250 to central servers.

unless they have like the mega time stamp processing server, its gonna be shit, even if they do...its still gonna be shit.

Because I'm used to getting 30 - 50 ping on every other shooter.

Tell that to people living in the mid-west where Internet access is still not a possibility to some.

Just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it's not a problem.

This. It's a FTP game. It's supposed to have a low barrier to entry. If everyone needs a $1200 PC and a $300/mo internet connection, not many will play.
