I think it would be beneficial to segregate by general location to cut down on the amount of delay or lag you experience in-game. It's been really bad lately and talking with some of the other USA and Canada players, most agree it just hasn't been fun.

The delay we experience in-game is unnatural but has been accepted here on Graal because it is beyond the players control(in most cases)

Not asking to completely segregate players by location or remove any of the existing rooms just to make that clear. Give the players the option though.

Also USA/Canada room pertains to me but other worldy rooms if they make sense could be beneficial as well.  

Like there wouldnt be any frustrated sparrers that'd VPN to increase their delay

Can you explain your point further?
There will be a small sample of people abusing this and using a VPN to enter the room but I don't think this issue would be on a large enough scale to disrupt what segregated rooms would accomplish.

Sure, but while we're at it move the server back to Europe.  

If you want the server back to Europe just login Fri-Sun and it'll feel good. Too many people complain about lag, even though I do think it's advantageous sometimes..especially for people just starting out (not knowing how to deal with it) but it's not enough to warrant separate rooms imo.

I just want it in Europe to troll people like OP.  

if the servers were in Europe and everyone I sparred against delayed I wouldn't play. What's the point? In my opinion you're not really playing, you're not even aiming for the persons character. Maybe people who have never experienced the game without delay don't know the difference but it's significantly more enjoyable to play this game without it.

Scary...and also how the majority of games that rely on hit detection are setup to avoid delay.

depends on how much latency/delay you're willing to put up with. those of us who were around in the 56k days know that 200 latency isnt really that bad. a lot of euros have higher ping but better internet than your average american with their garbage tier sub 10Mbit connections and shoddy routes.  

maybe if u didnt suck xDDD  

This isn't the worst idea actually, I'm in . Build the wall
