Dallas is much closer to the middle of the country than chicago, read the last post on page 5. It's over 100 miles closer and you guys are now being biased towards east, its NA now, not east.

Another post proving my point that Texas should be the central NA server. I have taken the top 10 cities by population. in the US, Canada, and Mexico to prove my point. I will state their mileage to both Chicago and Dallas. If you don't believe me, click here, ask directions to the major cities and click miles, not km (unless that's how you measure). The number you will see is the milage those two cities are away from each other.1. Mexico City
Dallas - 934
Chicago - 1693
2. NYC
Chicago - 711
Dallas - 1372
3. LA
Dallas - 1239
Chicago - 1744
4. Toronto
Chicago - 436
Dallas - 1204
5. Chicago
Chicago - 0
Dallas - 805
6. Houston
Dallas - 225
Chicago - 942
7. Ecatepec de Morelos
Dallas - 921
Chicago - 1680
8. Montreal
Chicago - 742
Dallas - 1514
9. Philidelphia
Chicago - 664
Dallas - 1298
10. Phoenix
Dallas - 885
Chicago - 1453
If you look at the numbers, Dallas Appears 5 times and Chicago appears five times. But, if you look closely, Canada, and east US has much lower numbers to the Chicago server, while west and South have much higher. Over 4 of those five cities have over 1450 miles to Chicago. Three of the five have over 1675 miles to Chicago. The east and Canada servers. The higest to Dallas is 1514, which is only the number eight city. The west and east cities have a better average to Dallas, which is a centralized ping, what we want. You can say Chicago or Texas, but here is the proof that Texas has a central ping for large cities spread out across the continent and for smaller ones too. Remember, it's not just east anymore, it's NA. If the Chicago servers have great DDoS protection and turn out to be great, then go for it. But I think Texas should be the first choice as you can clearly see the centralized ping.

You are saying that it's RIP Canadians. I say it isn't. I have more mileage and ping to the east server right now than Canadians would to a Texas server. Stop complaining and suck it up. After all, the most populous city in NA is Mexico City, and they will be getting 200 ping to the east server now. It's not all about Canadians, there are more people too.

I was thinking if you wanted to put the server in a big city in about the middle of North America why don't you just put it in Kansas City, Mo. It is almost exactly in the middle of the US, and NA. Also if it was in Dallas it would mean horrible ping for Canadians, and if it was in Chicago it would mean bad ping for southern and some western states. I honestly think it would be a good option but that's just me, think about it.Posted on 14 July 2016 - 04:57 PM

Texas is a lot farther from SA than it is from Chicago.

IK that but it would make more sense because texas is fairly close to SA. my point wasnt that it was closer to sa than chicago.

Nothing more to say, I just agree with this.
Also in the comments people are just thinking about the Canadian people If it move to Texas… Remember the MX people matter too since Badlion have a BUNCH of Mexicans playing as well and the mexicans CAN'T get the SA server.

Tbh the Canadian playerbase is lower then the west\mexicanI do think a Kansas host would be more centralize/balanced then both of these.
+1 texas

You guys do realize that the distance between Dallas the first country in South America is literally about 2,500 miles, not sure why this is even a valid argument.Last edited on 14 July 2016 - 10:55 PM by Insanecuber

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS (WELL-THOUGHT OUT OPINION)I BELIEVE that this is wrong. Looking at the title made my heart drop and kinda put me into a shitty mood. I mean just because Na West had a few problems, that doesn't mean you need to shut it down. And nobody can use the fact that there were never that many players on West to give as a reason to shut it down, because I guarantee you that there are a lot less South American and Asian players than west players. Also, the only reason that most players played on the east servers is because it is always crowded. If you think about it, it's a repeating circuit. It's Explained like this: People like to play where it is the most crowded because it's easier to que up and more enjoyable in general, and this made it crowded to begin with. Therefore there was always more players on east than west. A way to prevent this is for the administrators and staff to encourage the western players to all play on west, its up to whoever reads this to come up with ideas. This will break the repeating circuit, and result in the servers being more balanced population-wise. See what i mean? it isn't as hard as you think to fix this problem. Anyways, the majority of this community's population is on the coasts, so oh how great of an idea is it to get rid of the servers based off the coasts and make one central server?!?! I believe the direction Badlion is going with their servers is incorrect, and this is the reason: Playing the game is more enjoyable when you have good ping. Not necessarily having balanced ping with your opponent, (what Badlion is trying to do with making a central server). I believe a better solutuion to this is have servers based where the majorities of the populations are, so almost everyone can have good ping on the server closest to their area INSTEAD of everyone having fairly worse ping in general but even with people from other areas. Please reply if you agree or disagree, I wanna know what the community thinks about my personal opinion.
