Maybe have 3 servers for e.g US, EU and AU servers so players can choose what server they want to PvP on for better connection. Just lately people have been complaining about lag more often (including myself) and I think it's time we give players the option to choose a server closer to them. Just an ideaaaaa (:If money would be the problem you guys get normally 500+ people on in it's prime time so just add more benefits to donators so more people would donate.

The issue with this is you can't really add many more benefits that will be an incentive for people to actually donate. What we have now is about the maximum amount of benefits. Hell, I don't even know what Donator+ is going to get. In my opinion, it's a waste of time and money to make 3 servers - as the majority of this community is American. That means if we had an eu server, there would be like 15 people on. Not fun, you would have to wait forever to join a match. I know of EU players that have great ping to the server…Posted on 22 December 2014 - 07:34 PM
So you're saying AU and EU players aren't treated the same as US players? It's just a waste of time and money ahah? I mean you could test if that theory was correct. I know so many people who would love this idea to get to choose the server which they connect to depending on ping (:Posted on 23 December 2014 - 03:38 AM

Dude you were saying its a waste of time and money because you think no one will play. But you dont know that, hence why I was saying it wouldnt hurt to test out. Also maybe just having an EU server or just an AU server. This suggestion is basically just trying to give players more options on what server they want to join and what server gives them better ping. Also with the donator benefits that was just a suggestion if the servers would cost too much. With the amount of players who play Badlion I'm sure the money wouldn't be that much of a problem… Right?Posted on 23 December 2014 - 04:42 AM

Whatever then, just lost a player and probably any other Australian player who reads this post.Posted on 23 December 2014 - 08:27 AM
Few things to be stated here, this has been brought up in the past.1. Our Australian population is our smallest population (sad but true).
2. We have always kept the kitpvp servers merged because (a) we never filled it constantly [until now] and (b) its a lot more expensive to run multiple setups like this.
We are considering adding some EU servers in the near future if we can continue to grow and keep high numbers like we are at the moment.
By far the biggest reason we haven't split up the KitPvP servers is because we don't want to make it more difficult for the staff to moderate. It's already hard enough to moderate the network as it currently is (some of these problems we hope to solve soon).
GCheat is getting another update soon and we are going to North Korea the chat filter a bit more to try and stop more hackusating and racism (we don't want to completely annihilate the chat though). Some of these things will help the moderation team and then we can look into adding EU Proxies/KitPvP and possibly an Australian one after that. (Remember, we need $ to do these things, we would really like to have more donators to easily cover these costs)

Ahh ok, well I would like to see an EU server in the near future just to see how it would turn out with my ping personally ahah (: Also I was thinking, maybe as more benefits for Donator+ Add Nicknames or just coloured names that a normal Donator wouldnt have access to. (No access to Cyan etc). Just an idea because after all there isnt much you can do more. Small Particle Effects at spawn? Ability to shout across servers? Donator Only PvP Areas or Donator Only PvP Tournaments just to encourage more players to donate?I'll stop now…
