Regarding US-West LRP servers
Since it looks like Manuel has become the main US-West server now, LRP US-West servers are pretty much dead with only a few people playing on them now. The event hall has a lot of people, same with Terry, but they're both EU servers. North Americans generally have a lot of issues with EU servers because of latency/distance. My average on EU servers is generally 200+ms.
I've been thinking that there is way to keep LRP for NA players alive (there isn't really another place to play in NA with a player count above 15) by possibly 1) Merging Basil with Sybil 1 to get a higher player count, and adding a LRP or Action tag to it. Or 2) Removing the Low-Pop tag to Sybil 1's name, and adding a LRP/Action tag to it. I figured since Manuel has that tag, I think the other servers should potentially get it as well.
Another thing would be potentially converting the Sybil-2 Refugee center to an MRP EU server, so that there's a type of server for each continent.
These are just ideas and if anybody else has any other input, that would be great!

Ah, didn't know that! Do the LRP/Action labels sound good as well?

Re: Regarding US-West LRP servers
just hold off and people will stop playing manuel after they start catching bans for trying to shoehorn LRP in a server that doesn't want that.

Shifted this to policy discussion as it's not code related.

This would require paying for an *entire* new physical machine.Tlaltecuhtli wrote:remove west american server and add back an east american server (bagil died because eu people and half the americans would get shit ping)
We only have two physical machines, one west coast and one eu.
Unless you can front the cost of a new dedi on the west, please don't keep suggesting this like turning of one of our virtual servers somehow frees up funds for a real server in the west coast.

Re: Regarding US-West LRP servers
I don't honestly think it is. People are going to flock to the big pop servers, while the other ones will be left out to low-pop. Another suggestion would be to make a US-West LRP server available on the hub potentially.

Re: Regarding US-West LRP servers
implying it's the "main" server is a very different thing than saying "it's current;y the most popular server due to how people keep joining the most populated server"
