dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 ATS may have gained more players but 1000-1200 players is still not enough to have 2 servers and find people often. At certain times when the server population is split like 1100 to 50-100 it's not too much of a problem but sometimes the server populations are split like 600 to 600, 800 to 400, 700 to 300, etc., you will not find as many players as you would if there was 1 server. There really is no point in playing multiplayer if there is barely anyone to drive around with so that's mostly why I think 2 servers is a bad idea. About the ping, I don't think it's that much of an issue. I'm from the US east coast but I don't mind playing EU servers because over 100 ping doesn't affect me at all. Tell me what is so bad about having 100+ ping because I don't notice any effect because I play on ETS2 EU2 all the time. If they decide to revert back to 1 server again they should have it in the US east coast because there's where the majority of people in the US are and people from west coast and western europe don't get really bad ping. Update: ATS is pretty much dead again with only 500 split up players so there should most definitely be 1 server so there's a somewhat decent player count.

GKilat Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Personally, I would rather have low population server with low ping than high population one with high ping. I am also playing from the east coast and the lag is noticeable with trucks suddenly stopping and then teleport ahead. It's annoying and not fun especially when driving behind someone and you don't really know if he did suddenly stopped or just because of the lag. In fact, they should just put one US server for ATS if majority of ATS players are from the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkmusen Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 game is expensive but don't have a good direction troll because ats server does not have player even if no player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjdroz1 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I believe before the Orgeon DLC released they have a US server online, but some reason it was taken down. I am only assuming that the US server is back because of some unknown reason, also to the fact, that there a lot of US players that play ATS, that do not wan't or cannot play on a EU server.

ShadowWolf2k7 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 @dragonslayingmaster1000 you made some nice points, it would be nice to have one big server. however, people such as myself, who live on the west coast and/or have only 1 ISP in the town we live in makes connecting to a EU server and trying to play with a ping of 300ms+ with spikes of 500 to 700ms a real problem. so with a US server those of us who get bad ping to an EU server can play ATS.

McDodge34 [FR QC] Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I prefer US server, people seems to be more friendly there and they have respect for the road rules and speed limits, and the ping is much better for me, around 60ms compared to 130-150ms on EU server.

Guest Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 This two server solution is really bad. With a playerbase of 1000 people max on 1 server that will get lower with every day after the oregon dlc it´s bad to split the playerbase. It´s not fun to play multiplayer in ATS on a 75 people server like sometimes last month. When people from NA West have a high ping on EU then make ONE NA East server.

The EU server is normally pinged so depending on your location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nectix Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Well low ping is a really good thing, you may not see a different affect while having a ping 100ms but others may do. It's difficult, but I'd let stay as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if it was NA east people from west coast can get decent ping and people from western europe probably will only get up to 100-150. I don't know about places like turkey but it's probably a good thing if turkish players can't play on here. I enjoy the nice drivers on ATS.

Meka Kha'ziX Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 @dragonslayingmaster1000the important thing is not to be a Turk, but to be a proper driver.---------I hope it will be more concentrated in the future. $ιɢɴed вy мeĸα ĸнαzιх Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnl_Hugh122 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 The two servers is just to help players avoid any lag that may not affect you but does effect everyone else on the server, so to have 2 servers just helps keep lag to a minimum.

IethaI Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 It indeed splits up the amount of players but the ping for some is an issue while playing on a server located on the other side of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabby LaToosh Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I have to go with having the 2 servers, on the bigger picture it is a better option for certain countries to have the option to choose a lower Ping. I am thinking mainly of persons that are *not* in the EU or US, to have those options. On a personal preference, as a US dweller, I prefer the US server.

ShadowWolf2k7 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 location has less to do with the server then it does with the persons ISP which effects it most. my ping to the US server hangs out around 75 ms, where as connecting the EU server my ping fluctuates between 190 and 300 ms. most people would say get a new ISP, however if it is the only one in your town, you cant change it. so having 2 servers is helpful and allows those that cant connect to a server that is across the atlantic from them would reduce the already low ATS population.

StJimmy1232 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I agree with two servers. Living in the prairie, my ping is already higher then the average player. I could not imagine trying to play on the EU server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
