No support, devalues my nostalgia.

The decision was made purely by the numbers tbh. The US and Canada account for the majority of players, logins and playtime so it makes sense to put the server in a location that benefits the most people.

I would like to stress that the above is solely what made the decision for us but as an interesting bonus fact: the US and Canada are also responsible for 2/3rds of all donations, which is what ultimately pays for the server. Although there are still quite few players from European countries the vast majority of them are entirely F2P. So we probably shouldn't be too quick to neglect our North American brethren because without theim PkHonor would've ended years ago and there wouldn't be a server on any continent.

Ye so me and my alts stop using merican vpns + we rag all mericans off the server. The question is, how many of them.

[Fungamer]

I propose we use @Will be ok2 his construction company to build a platform etc to host the server on in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean so that everyone can be happy. PKH will pay him in donor credits.

I demand compensation for big scam lure players for good server in EU then moving it after some years.

Here's a breakdown by continent for the current month:

By number of logins:

Code: Select all

53.11%  North America
35.26%  Europe
 6.09%  Asia
 3.20%  Oceania
 1.60%  South America

53.51%  North America
36.70%  Europe
 3.87%  Oceania
 3.82%  Asia
 1.65%  South America
 0.45%  Africa

58.59%  North America
32.74%  Europe
 4.04%  Asia

Sorry, I'm not going to do a massive undertaking and cause significant downtime for something that ultimately hurts more players than it helps.

EDIT:

So how many players or donators from EU do we need to turn the tide.

We will always try to choose the optimal location for the player base as a whole. For now the current location seems about as good as we can get, until someone builds an undersea data center in the middle of the Atlantic. So I guess the answer to your question would be for Europeans to become the majority (more or less, since we would take the distance to all regions into account).
