Time to move HnH servers?

At least some server models are much cheaper in Helsinki.

Why move the server to a backwater country (= away from a big exchange - or away from de-cix, the biggest worldwide)?

Finland is better.

Hnh is already so laggy that no one notices the few millisecond difference.

You just made the perfect point about why your idea is pointless and would just be made-up work for no gains.

Finland is better. You are pointless.
Some models have reduces prices on Finland.
Servers in Finland are more environment-friendly than servers in germany, due to easier cooling.
Germany will be taken over by immigrants very soon anyway, so they better move their servers now, before its too late!
Also, supporting Finland by buying servers hosted in Finland will give some money to the state via taxes and other things, that can be used for the army budget, which benefits Sweden, as they will have Finland between Russia and them, so they can save on their defense budget. This directly benefits devs, as then they have to pay less taxes!

You are not a moderator anymore, swamp monster. Please go away from all of my threads and never come back.
Going around other peoples threads and telling that they can be closed is not very nice!

Has the benefit of no longer needing to be overly nice to everyone, should they come with stupid ideas.

The one that initially came up with my swamp monster nickname and suggested to shoot unarmed people is talking about being nice...

TL;DR: Your suggestion makes no sense. It might make sense to you (in your role as 'me me me' egoist wanting a slightly lower ping to the server and more taxes for your country so they can hopefully raise your standard of living) - but not for the userbase of the game as their average (or even median) latencies would increase.

Why move the server to a backwater country?

Risk of nuclear destrocytion is smaller

If that's what you're worried about... well, good luck with the fallout from the rest of the world being a burning wreck.

I think we can say that this point is meaningless as if this is the potential hazard, there will be few users left to play, and likely no internet to use to connect to the server, anyway. EMPs are a bitch.

i thought the devs and their servers were in sweden? moot point though because sweden and germany both are proper fucked.

i agree with the spirit of the first post at least. muslims kill you if you disagree with their ideology. jorbtar should think about their safety.
