Au Servers (Needs More)

[iamjai1]

The AU mcsg servers need a tonne more. I know they cost alot to host in australia but you do get alot of donations. The AU servers only have 25 servers. They are pretty much always full exept when im at school.

The Au region needs, in my opinion, about 5 more servers. The servers are expensive, and we really don't have a huge amount of players online at one time.

I made a thread about this a while ago and the main points that emerged to counter my proposal were cost and the difference in population between the two Major regions, Eu and Us, and the Au region.

Here is Blake's response, which sums it all up quite nicely:

AU really doesn't need more servers at all, the only times I ever see the servers fill quickly are around 7-9pm. The rest of the time either the servers don't fill completely or take the whole lobby time to do so. Also, like previously stated, if you look at the population difference between EU and US to AU it's massive! Also EU attracts players from many different nationalities and not just one or two countries like AU does.

Another problem with this idea is the cost. From what I've heard and seen around the forums, AU servers are very expensive and it would cost a lot just for 5 more servers. US and EU are really cheap and AS is still cheaper than AU (but still more expensive than the other 2) but they have a lot less servers due to the lack of demand. AU also has a low demand compared to US and EU so it's easier just to give them more servers because they need them and they are in MCGamer's price range.

This may seem biased since I can join full servers but even before that I never had any difficulties doing so.The only reason you're probably having trouble now is because of the database being down/offline message, it still effects me a lot and I miss joining several lobbies due to it.

Maybe two extra?

But then it wouldn't be in multiples of 5!
