Ping times?

I'm looking at getting a server in Ireland so that east coast north americans and all of europe can ping decent.

While looking at the map of connections... I wonder if Hawaii would be a good place for west coast north americans to play with aussies with equal pings... Could narrow the world gap on PC gaming.

Turns out London to Boston is 85 ms.

If we have a number of UK players, I'll get a UK server

As a Canadian who lives in Ontario, I support this.

I don't think theres any USA to europe cables that come onshore in ireland, I think the majority come in around cornwall / devon / somerset area and even then they may be linked directly through london.

I was thinking this. I expect they go through the UK too. Worth finding out before you commit. Plus for all intent and purposes the difference from Ireland probably isn't particularly significant.
