We currently only have 4 servers. On the peak periods non-donors have a hard time getting in games due to the excessive amount of people playing. Do we need more?

I personally don't think you absolutely need it. I've heard that when it's not peak time, the server tends to empty out. This means that the extra costs to keep certain servers open, would be unnecessary. If it comes to a point where the servers are full all the time then I can understand where you would need more.

I agree that they are not very full on non peak periods but it would do a lot better if we gained just a few in order for people on those peak period time to be able to play.

I,personally think that it isn't too hard to get in a game during AS peak period. Most games will still be only around 20 players anyways, unless there is a time where I don't play when it is full. In rare occasions, there will be no games joinable, but this peak is quite rare, so I don't think we need another server. I appreciate you using your time to write this. Final Answer, No.

I am an AS player, and I'll give my opinions here~

During the peak hours, yes, there may be alot of players playing the servers at the same time and sometimes 4 servers isn't just enough to hold all of the people that may be in the hub waiting for a game. Keep in mind though that this peak period is only during the weekends. During the weekdays, the server is practically empty until I have to go to another region just to play a game. This makes MCSG waste their money keeping the server up and running when no one is playing.

On the other hand, during the peak hours, the server does not necessarily fill up until 24 players. Sometimes it does, but that occasion is very rare. Most of the time there will usually be like 18-20 players and any non-donor can join the server. Usually a game can always start with just 12 players, even though it is peak period. A further increase of servers will just lead to the servers being empty 99% of the time.

So my finally answer is most definitely a no.

The cost of hosting servers in Au/As (maybe Canada) is a lot higher than others. This means servers that are not always full become redundant. Asian players can always head over to Au in these, as I gather, rather rare occasions that a server is unavailable.
