[Ephiza]

Well when they stopped paying for AS servers the ddos attacks stopped so they either saved the money for ddos protection or mvs and his crew took a break lmao

First of all, I am not going to lock this thread since there isn't any flame, but I am going to give my opinion.

The AS servers were taken down because first of all we didn't have a large enough player base and secondly because it was expensive. I personally think that bringing back the AS servers would cause many troubles and it would end up like the old ones.

First of all, we would need more moderators for that region. A lot of our staff members can't play on the other regions without lagging or ghosting. If the AS servers came back, we would need staff to accommodate for the new region. Without staff to moderate a region, which would indeed have the same rule breakers that US, EU, AU, and CA have, the servers would go nuts.

In addition, most the regions currently have at least 1,000-3,000 players on at once. If the AS servers were brought back, the player count would be extremely low. Without players using Chad's servers, we have no need for them and, to be honest, they are wasting money that could be used to upgrade other regions.

Finally, they cost too much more money. With a new server, there comes DDoS attacks and maintenance. In order to get developers out to the region where they would be hosted for upgrades, a flight over 24 hours long would be necessary. The flight cost money, the servers cost money, the DDoS protection cost money, and much more... all cost money.

Thanks for taking time to read my response,
Scott.

I mean, a lot of AS players would donate. Especially those randy japs when they realize they get like, 40 ping or whatever, and start winning fast.

The AS people already made a server called orchestra with alot of the staff being able to be qualified as staff here. We already have rang_shah_18 as one AS staff. Surely the ones on Orchestra can apply.

We'd get some donations, but not enough.

We have a few AS moderators, but not near enough to deal with the drama and issues that would be caused.

Scott is correct, we don't have enough moderators to handle an entirely new region. But people will apply and hopefully that won't be an issue.
