Due to hamsters sleeping quite often, they need to be manned with an engineer to prod the hamster with a stun gun every so often, you may notice this when servers are experiencing problems as only 1 hamster would be active.

What kind of difference do you mean ?

Uptime on GoA servers is better than Mythic
Ping to GoA servers is better than to Mythics (in general)
Mythic servers are on the latest patch, GoA a little behind
Population on GoA servers suits the european time zone
Mythic have a co-op server, GoA dont
Mythic have in game support

Mythic made the game, and run it over in the US.

GOA pay for the license and run the EU servers.

 

[popa]

soo all patch problems are : wee make the patch 4 our servers ( mythic) and GOA have too make it 4 hes servers


sad that goa dont have same servers like mythic or mythic dont make patches 100% compatible

They have to translate the patches for ze Germans and la French.

Ping? This isn't counterstrike

And the Italians and the Spanish... which is all besides the point as the reformatting of the patches to run on our server type is what takes the longest and the translation teams do their job while the reformatting is happening... oh and that's -after- Mythic get the patch itself to us which they won't do until that patch is up and stable on their servers. We don't get the patches when Mythic put them on their servers we get them after they go through version a. b. c. etc.

I noticed a difference after swapping providers.. going from 200-250ms to 50ms

Main reason for us getting "bad ping" to Mythics servers are well, Mythics servers are in the US, GOAs are in Europe.. shortest path is to...

It still puzzles me as to why the patches need to be reformatted/recompiled/recoded/rewhatevered. I mean, you'd expect Mythic and GoA to use the same server-architecture. What would be the reason to use two completely different system/OS architectures?

Also, apparently, the US server-software doesn't have multilingual support while the EU servers do. Why doesn't Mythic build in multilingual support for the latest version and use American-English libraries? That would increase the next patch time for the US'ers by two months or so, but after then it'd shorten the patch times as they don't have to maintain 2 different versions of serversoftware. They should've made it unified a long long long time ago.

you either suck at rvr or are a pve whore then . while not as dependant as it is in fps games, ping is certainly an issue.
