What made you want to change host? You offer a great realm for US players and oceanic people, then you out of the blue move it, Yeah so what people voted to move it, Most likely they got no idea how it would affect there MS. All the other 2.4.3 servers i can think of are all located in the EU, So now your in the same category, I do hope a better host comes up in the US so i can play here again.
I have 320 MS on AT and that's just play-able.
Anyway, thanks for the help, I'll stick with retail untill something changes, Peace.

There are just simply more european players on the server than american players. You don't think so? Go online at 6pm EST (night in europe) and compare it to when its 6pm in europe and you'll see a clear difference. Theres about max 100 players online at 6pm EST, but around 250-300 at 9-10am EST (daytime in europe).

I don't see what donations has to do with anything. The host in europe was just better, and an upgrade was needed for when the PreBC server is up apparently. If u don't like it, go retail. don't cry on the forums about it.

So we both have the server in Europe now..big whoop.
If that's the only thing you have to compare the two, then you must thing a high majority of the servers out there are copying AT...oh wait, they're not.
This move was better for the higher majority of the server. If a few people (And yes, it does seem to be only a few. As the Americans I speak to have no problems with latency) have worse latency now, but the majority have better, then it's the right choice.
Not only was this move good for the TBC server's players, but it is also -vital- to getting a pre-tbc server going, as Hen stated if he had a choice to run the server in America, he would've. But there wasn't that choice. So please..drop it now. The move is done, deal with it.
I do play retail, 3 classes all 2.4k+, But tuesdays i come on TBC because i enjoy it.
As for donations having nothing to do with it? Are you fucking stupid? I highly doubt Hen would run this server with the money out of his back pocket just for random people. Donations pay for the servers Advertising, Host, computer upgrades and so on. So yes, I think it plays a big part in this.
As for AT, It's fucked now all because they moved it, I think it will do the same thing.
Tbh, Lets go EG;
100 US players - 70 donors
300 EU players - 20 donors
What would you choose?
Yes it's an example but w/e.
Anyway, As i said, I hope a better host comes up in US.
