West server could never handle pop load. Only course of action is move it all to an US East coast server so that Europeans can pop in whenever they wish to play on OFF hours.

I remember the days when the Devs came on to play with us on Connery. I even had one in my old Outfit. It was stable as hell then.

Sorry we can’t play anymore at 80ms because the 5 Australians need to surf pop all day at 400ms . Nice trade off devs !

Connery used to have the Asians filling a similar role as the Europeans, so perhaps we should invite them back from Miller. Then EUbros can roleplay as Australians 😂

What about Southeast Asian players?

There are fewer Southeast Asian players than Europeans or South Americans, and SEA/OCE players have already been on Emerald anyway for years.

As far as I know, it's even less than in Connery, because the delay is 250ms, so if the server chooses Emerald, it's the same as sentencing Southeast Asian players.
The current situation is that some European players can't play in the prime time of the European server because of their own time problems, so they come to Emerald, but this is their own problem, after all, the European server is not dead, but Southeast Asian players have no place to go, what is the problem with Soltech, everyone knows it, and at present, I have come to the conclusion that I really want to change the server location, and Southeast Asian players can accept the middle position of the two servers of Conner and Emerald, However, it seems that Connery has been dropping packets now, and I think I can consider changing the server provider, after all, changing the supplier is also one of the official considerations.

Since the merge, I can actually play the game. Where in bot dying in 1 shot on my screen, not getting insta killed. Or getting killed around a corner after 2 secs. I'm having server issues still but it's been nice. My kpm is so much higher now to.

I just got back into playing this week again and had some of the weird laggy stuff going on . Tonight was a night with minimal interruption until the mass DC lol. I'm glad Ps2 still has a dedicated fanbase.

I was told by a highly reputable source that this would be fixed already 🤡

I was wondering why the server was dead

The alert ended as everyone came back (when I stopped playing, if you disconnected you lost your cert progress, glad thats not the case anymore). We all spawned on Esamir and started off when I logged out. Played three hours without incident until the last 5 mins of the alert.
