I've been playing on this server for about 2-3 years now, but I have some questions.
1. Why is the server located in France?
I'm sure we have players from France and all that, but why there specifically? Is it cheaper to host there? Is it a good middle ground or something? I'm genuinely curious. Vendetta Gaming, another group that has private servers for games, once did a poll regarding where the server should be located. Of course, this won't be able to please everyone, but they catered to the majority. Could that be possible for our servers as well?
2. Why do people still lag often?
I do party runs a lot, and I'd say 70% of those runs, there's always at least one person experiencing lag. Sometimes it's me, sometime's it's other party members. People have to resort to using VPNs to be able to play. I have no doubt that this happens in other games too but I think it happens too often here, no? I know a few people that can't run with parties at all because of the lag. Sometimes it's party lag, sometimes it's the server. Even then, why does this happen? What causes this? Does the team ever think of finding a solution? Or is it impossible? This has been a problem ever since I started playing.
3. Don't we have more players than ever? Doesn't that mean we have more AP buyers than ever?
More AP buyers = more money for Aura, will any of this money ever go to the upgrading + relocation of servers, or anything else?
I love this game, but some things make me go "lol wat". I haven't heard of party lag in MMOs until AK, so I just want an explanation as to why this is a thing. Anyways, I look forward to a reply from management.
Thank you for reading~
