Should We concider moving our Game Servers to Texas?

The Box Stats are

Dual Opteron 256
2 GB Ram
100 MB Connectivety

Total Price: 270 / Month.

[Billy Pumper]

for all you noes, why the f*ck not?

[Tyler Durden]

Whatever works. I don't see anything wrong with it. Are they cheaper or what?

[youwerekilled]

that is a lot farther from me than va.... will that make a diff?

yeah ping will be a little higher... but from me its still not THAT far.. so why not... my ping will be like 40 or 30 instead of 17...

[Frag0holic]

my ping will be like 80 instead of 130
Hey man, if it's cheaper and more reliable, go for it!

[Billy Pumper]

im with frag, my ping would roxors

[wyte mafia]

i play servers that have low ping so we will see

[hurley41]

were are the servers right now ?

[Ezekiel]

If it saves money, I see no problem now. I have a 60 ping as is.

But one thing. Where are the servers now? If they're on the East coast it's not much of a difference for Cleric and I in Chicago if it moves to Texas.

[DarkShadow]

Virginia, East Coast

Pings would indeed rise, maybe by 20+

not for me nigga

[Nagash]

I say put the servers where they are closest to the majority of BoSS memebers, even if it costs a little more.


but then again they are your servers and you can put them anywhere you want (that didn't sound right but oh well)

I will play on them no matter where they are.

can you take one server and put it in texas and see how the ping is for everyone and if its ok move the rest or just move it back? my $.02

[Chris82]

I'm in Ohio. Being Virginia is only two states away, my ping is pretty low.

Texas is five states away. Higher ping.

But being I have a 5mbit cable connection I really don't give a f*ck.

[Lost]

Not sure what kind of pings I'll be getting to Texas.. As long as its < 100 it should be all right. Right now I think I ping about 60 to the VA servers.

I LIKE THE PINGS THAT I GET WITH IT IN VA,....BUT ITS YOUR SHOW MAN SO YOU DO WHAT YOU THINK IS BEST....

[Novahawk]

There is pretty much no lag up untill your ping starts getting higher than 150... 150 ping is still ok, its not like: oh noes my ping is 80... im teh lagzor... there is pretty much no difference in lag or whatever untill it gets higher than 150, then it starts to lag a little.... but again, i have a 6mb dsl line.. so it doesnt really matter for me..

Yeah equa-distant from me too so whatever everyone wants is fine because it wont really effect me. But I voted yes just to be part of the poll if it saves money.

[DarkShadow]

ping really has nothign to do with lag...its just how far away from the server you are....and if its a better box and somewhat cheaper....do that sh*t yo

Thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard.

Lag = Ping.

Ping = Lag.

[NC Derek]

oh sh*t i didnt know there was an argument going on about moving the servers. a 50 increase in ping is a huuuuuge difference, might benefit some, but the majority would see a 20 to 50 increase. so id say no right away, but i gotta hear both sides of the story.

3 servers for 270 at this new place, as opposed to what are they now in VA?
