To answer your questions the reason to have multiple servers sets in the same location is to offer different routing options. Where one host (Colocrossing) might offer Level 3, Cogent and Timewarner as their bandwidth providers (transit to the server) an FDC server can offer Nlayer, Comcast and Telia giving you totally different routes, eliminating possible issues with a specific ISP.<br /><br />For example:<br /><br />You do your traces to TT Chicago and find that a router on Level 3&#039;s network is giving u a 250ms jump and screwing your ping. An additional server with different bandwidth providers probably won&#039;t use that router and solve your networking issue. <br /><br />I have spoken with Niv about FragHappy servers and he is eager to get something set up. The next time he is online I&#039;ll bother him about it. I would also say that if any of you would like to pay for a server you can put it where ever you like. Chicago is a centralized location for IDL players, (Josh, Miek, Goat, Rudy, Texans, East coasters and Canadians ). Primarily the people who PAY for the servers live in or near Chicago so it only makes sense that is where they reside.<br /><br />We are currently month to month on TT FDC so if it isn&#039;t a server that is being used for performance reasons I will move the servers and try another host (in March). I have every intention of keeping this server a Chicago server unless Quik has ideas to the contrary.<br /><br />Blair fuck off with yr denver server pipe dreams!!!!!
