Kaphost Blockland Servers

[DontCare4Free]

Yeah, I'm doing that.

I'll buy the American server soon, so I have enough time to see if the host is good.

Why can't you just drop the idea of the american server? There isn't any gain in it anyway.

Meanwhile: Look at poll results.

Meanwhile: Look at poll results.

The poll results can't tell how many will drop out because of the switch, and neither does it tell how big the cost difference is.

It's actually cheaper to buy this American server

The gain is that the majority of players live in America, except you, and it would be faster for them.

Income for Eksi + thing worth hosting = likely to purchase

Do you have any statistical proof of that or did you just make that up?

And where do you have that data from?

[Kalphiter]

And where do you have that data from?

46,000 IPs collected over time.

60% of the IPs are American

[DontCare4Free]

45,000 IPs collected over time.

In what way?

[Teneksi]

Given that it's blockland.us and servers are always less populated when I get on in the middle of the night (and the, you know, concrete data our resident statistics special interestist just offered), why are you questioning that so much?

That the TLD is "us" is because the game is created by an american.
And I wouldn't trust that data, as I don't know where it comes from and might be dependant on who was on at the same time as him. I don't think anyone else than Badspot has the complete list of Blockland players.
And I'm questioning this so much because I don't want the server to move to the US for performance reasons.

No, can't afford two.
