A pressrelease from Telia Sonera

Tharion · Dec 9, 2004

Just like Diablo2 Battle.net was Telia.

Xplo · Dec 9, 2004

Is that a good or a bad thing? :wij:

Yaemon · Dec 9, 2004

The less routers i have to pass through when connecting the better imo

Escape · Dec 9, 2004

They will host servers in Paris too according to that link.

Were the US servers locked by region, as Blizzard were planning too start them?
They had better not try it in Europe

Grimmen · Dec 9, 2004

Weeee, now to just figure out which server will be situated in Stockholm

Having Telia as my ISP will hopefully provide me with some beneficial connection.

peder · Dec 9, 2004

thats is greates news i have a freind who works at telia and im sure i will get good connections.

xplo. that is good news. teliasonera is good company with adsl and so.

FuzzyLogic · Dec 9, 2004

Have you seen how oddly some ISPs route connections? I've gone from England to France, across to America then back to France to connect to Euro DAoC servers 0o

In short, don't get yer hopes up

Any Swedish ISP who doesn't give at least 8Mbit ADSL anymore in Sweden?

Ilienwyn · Dec 10, 2004

Nerf Swedish people and their infrastructure!!

Hmm, any good job and housing to move there?

Yes I know our infrastructure rules

On the topic now: Any good job & housing for a greek wanting to run away from our mediocre infrastructure (mediocre is an overstatement tbh!)

There's lots of greek restaurants around, if that floats your boat.

Fana · Dec 10, 2004

Well since we are both EU countries there is nothing preventing a greek from coming to work and live in sweden if he wants to, well, except the fact that we have a high unemployment rate currently, so actually finding a job might be difficult, as it is for us swedes as well.

Well I know for a fact ComHem sux and they promise 8mbit but my friend who has it only gets 3mbit when its sunny and downhill

He usually have about 256kbit or 512kbit average.

But they use old crappy technology from what I've heard.

lol thats wrong he shouldnt even have too pay for that

Whisperess · Dec 10, 2004

If you're talking about ComHem cable then it's not surprising if more in his house have the same.

Downanael · Dec 10, 2004

Rather Telia than GOA (and having server on country next to you is nice too

)

Hrogar · Dec 10, 2004

Felia is the worst company I have ever encountered, but having the servers here in Sweden can't hurt.

Frols · Dec 10, 2004

We are the swedes lower your virusprotection and we will add your servers to our collective.

nice to be living in stockholm

to bad i dont have telia but anyways 8/1 connection will have to do,

mts · Dec 10, 2004

aww man, this is fucking SWEET

Ottar · Dec 16, 2004

It appears the jubilations concerning WoW servers being located in Sweden were premature.

Fook... That means we will have the same bloody Opentransit problems with WoW as we have with DAoC

uke:

Why oh why does mmorpg companies insist on placing servers in france when it is the equivalent of a third world country when talking backbone maintanance? :touch:

Actually I use the 8Mbit Cable from Comhem and never have a download rate of 900KB/s if it's from a good server :eek:

Even capped at higher speed than I pay for, got 1.1MB/s while DLing a few weeks ago

While BBB adsl 8Mbit never reaches those numbers from what I've seen

They even removed the regions to make people spread out more, it is just 1 loooong realm list now

Whats so bad about them?

I have had Telia ever since they first launched their ADSL connection. Under that time which should be what, 3-4 years maybe I have only had longer downtime one time and that was during the first 6 months when it went down 2 days I believe.

imho Telia might not be the cheapest ISP and maybe not even the fastest, but they have been by far the most stable ISP with best uptime and the speed on connection is always what concurrent to what I should have.

Ning · Dec 18, 2004

basicaly it means that TeliaSonera will handle the hosting of WoW servers in their offices based in Paris (so no Opentransit).

because the 3 first european video game companies are french (Ubi Soft, Vivendi, Infograme)
Blizzard Entertainment is a division of a french company : Vivendi Universal Games

For DAOC, GOA had the flair to figure out the first that there was a big market in Europe for the MMORPGs if you localize them.

Opentransit sucks but there are other companies that have got backbones in Europe (and in France). Ie : TeliaSonera.
