Oh yeah, we forget to tell you that the IDL board has made attracting more Mexicans #1 priority.<br /><br />Anyway here are some stats. I worked not very hard on these and they&#039;re probably not as accurate as they chould be.<br /><br />Northeast 9<br />Europe 7<br />Canada 3<br />South	 10<br />Midwest 12<br />West 3<br />Mexico/South America 4<br /><br /><br />If you add these #s up you get 48, the number of active players from last seasons IDL rosters. Doing some basic generalizing I would say that people from the northeast, Europe and Canada prefer East coast servers. The southern players could go either way, Texans preferring the Midwest and Floridians/coasters going East coast. Mexico (and below), the west and Midwest all go for either Texas servers or Midwest if they can&#039;t have Texas. Basically it&#039;s a clean split. If you factor in that Chicago is about as good for Canadians as the East coast ones and that the Northeast players get ~50ms to Chicago it makes sense that the best place for an IDL server is in Chicago. The Northeast disenfranchises roughly 40% of IDL players to the tune of +50ms on average. Texas servers give an opposing 40% of IDL players the same bad deal (Northeast, Canadian, European). <br /><br />When Ladna and I picked a place for TT we did a stupid amount of research and the numbers haven&#039;t changed much. Chicago is the most fair for the most people. Yeah JKist and Hatred ping cheat but if we get a server in NY you have Ralph, Blair, Rus, Stall, Collision Tai, and Gilgamesh with sub-30ms pings while the rest of IDL experiences an average of 80ms. <br /><br />If we&#039;re talking server variety I vote Texas. We haven&#039;t had a good Texas server since DE and it brought a lot of interest from the Mexicans we are so fervently trying to cater to nowadays.
