This may come as a shock but I had a good idea, the current server is really laggy so what i thought is having a few servers so like servers running on different ports.
This could actually cut out some of the lag and once one server gets like 15 people in it the server is full and nobody else can get in and they have to use a different one.

It's not the amount of people that's on the server, I believe it's that Meiun is hosting the server on his own computer instead of paying for a host when v2 was public.

How come he said that the server was like 1337 miles away from his home than?
Anyways I don't klike the idea. Sorry
i think meiun trying his best with what he has got.
I didn't know he said that. What I posted was what I remember from like, back when Scottie's site was hacked or something.
Every server will have a little lag, I don't see the problem. Besides, it's not like you guys have the former high-end server that V2 was originally hosted on. I'd like to see that happen, but it's not worth the extra trouble. I say everything's just fine the way it is. ;)
Damn it people... look:
-Current server is hosted by Meiun, on his private PC.
-The server in V2 WAS A DEDICATED SERVER, and wasn't hosted by Meiun.
This is a bad idea, I can't see more than 5 people at the time on one server, let alone having more servers...
If ya'll want a better server, you're going to have to pay for it yourselves.

Because his computer might be at his house and he is at college, but I'm not sure.

He said that when he had the dedicated server. That's why I was explaining it... When he was paying for the server, he didn't host it from his home, it was (as far as I remember) in chicago...
I sorta like the idea but there is hardly any ppl usually on.

What? I'm not talking about Meiun...
I'm just saying, if people want a better server, they can feel free to pay for it themselves. (Unless Meiun wouldn't like that, for some reason)
The server is fine as is, really.
Too little people on for this. Wait until like 50 people are on at once, which won't happen at the moment. :P
i dont like the idea..not that im playing right now... :'( but when it was free there wasnt usualy more than 30 ppl on at one time so it would be pretty pointless
Actually, there were often 40+ on. Or at least, during the time I played when it was free.
The current server is definitely not as good as it was back before the donor server, but upgrading to any high end dedicated one (like before) really wouldn't be practical for v2 in it's current state. It really isn't even a matter of bandwidth or CPU shortage either as much as the network just being a bit flaky and it not seeming to properly prioritize packets under certain situations. I personally have honest to god never had any connection issues or any real lag even when it's been rather busy (and even when spending the summer over a thousand miles away from where I normally live). I definitely plan on getting another high end dedicated server for v3 (already have some real good deals in mind). Like I've said many times, the current server is more of a thank you to all our donors than anything else. It simply wouldn't be a practical use of the donations to buy another super high end dedicated one when my main focus is on v3 (which isn't even out yet).

For those who can't read it too well, there were 158 players online in that screenshot. Back at the peak of v2 being public, there were times when it was not at all uncommon to have over 100 people on. I believe the max I had ever seen on was well over 250, possibly approaching 300 (can't remember the exact number though).

He said so at Dan's tourney, I think it was. At least in the donor server.

This idea has no potential...and it's certainly not good.
Without bothering to read what everyones said why it won't work...let me say this...So yeah, obviously that would cost money...but let's think gameplay for a sec...
-There is only really 15 people on at a time during SGs, Tournaments, or like flukes...mainly SGs...
-If an SG did spawn, I am pretty sure everybody would go to the server that it did spawn...so this solves nothing.
-Also, let's say during somthing like christmas, this idea makes the event too easy, if players are spread out like this.
-So it's a no from me.
-BORK.
