Servers - Switched

[Selvin]

Just a question. How come the serveres orders where switched around. Like Big Bertha is 4th now. Is it, because they passed there allowed Data transfer?? Is it, because TMyApp just felt like it or because it is a glitch??

it is becuase big bertha was full and lagging but ppl didnt care. it was lagging so bad that u challenge someone and then 5 minutes later he gets it. then i guess the server crashed. which tmy was happy about. (i think)
i also think that big bertha and the forum are connected but u will have to ask tmy about that.

That must be really be losts of lag. How about the, upon, entering the menu to choose the server, why not the game atomatically redirect players to a server, evenly distrubuting lag. If the player doesn't want to go to this server, he can exit and some how choose what server he wants.

Please comment on my idea! :biggrin:

Big Bertha was taken off the top of the list to force people to use other servers. Bertha is on the same connection as the main web site and the forum. All 3 being fully utilized causes them all to lag. Bringing Bertha out of focus lets up on the lag a bit

The redirection idea is a good one and has already been brought up. Unfortunately, if I recall correctly, when last I spoke to TMy about this, it would greatly increase the time it would take to connect to a server and/or affect lag overall also.

When this game engine improves to the point that lag is not an issue and we get bigger and better servers, i'm sure this feature will be looked at again and probably implimented. Till then, work with what we got.
