Network upgrades this weekend in EU + other news.

[ChadTheDJ]

We been recently seeing the hub lobby in EU constantly full during peak times. We plan to increase the hub lobby to include an overflow lobby like in the US hopefully this weekend to address the increasing demand in that location.

Also our Asia location may be removed due to lack of players playing on that node. Apparently majority of the people in that region play in our EU or US location. We would much rather put the resources in maybe increasing the AU server count and/or a CA hub? We will let you know when we decide what we plan to do. Update: We will be holding off this as we want to get more input from the community before taking any action. Seems we do have people liking the AS location plus continuing a non-hub network in CA. We will come back to this later.

Also new maps will be added soon! We looked at a lot of amazing maps this community has been sharing to us and will consider adding in a few more along with the new voting system that people overwhelmingly supported this last week of voting. Make sure if you like a map to vote/like/comment on the map forums so that we can see what popular maps should be added. Also some maps which should have been removed will be fixed later this weekend as the map update script forgot to run in some regions.

Note that there may be a core upgrade this weekend network wide that will open more doors on completing long delayed projects. The devs have been working hard and glad this is finally almost finished. Please note that the core update isn't the chest update!

First

Edit: Oh my jesus. DONT ADD A CA HUB.

 

[billyguy1]

CA hub?

But for reals, In my opinion, it would be good to have one location without a hub, in case people seriously despise the hub idea, the can just play on CA.

and new maps

 

[ChadTheDJ]

Well this is why we post about it to get the community's opinions regarding it. If not a hub, maybe more servers? Idk, what would you all want us to increase in?

4th I like the idea about the new maps! Exiting

And we need to find a way how to remove hackers because it has been kind of a problem

More CA servers would be better than a CA Hub.

 

[Claps]

As said before, no canadian hub. Please.

I asked you this during a stream one time and you said you'd look into it. But adding a 120 person canada server could be interesting.

To be honest though, if you're going to add more canadian servers dont add too many. Even at prime time there are always spots in lobbies and so its not worth it to add tons more (a few extra is always nice)

First Page! That's an awesome accomplishment.

If we are going to do anything, most likely 1 more node which adds in 32GB of RAM to use in that region.

Sorry but I don't know much about this stuff... how many servers is 32GB equivalent to? 8? 4?

~25 (1GB of RAM per server, leaving some space for the OS and such).

So like 20 more servers
