Could we get more NA Server outside of Canada?

Could we have more variety of NA servers for VF4? It's annoying when gameplay is affected to a specific degree when applying damage doesn't get register due to have a high ping difference to the opponent.

Melee combat is problematic: I know the game giving me the sound cues that my melee connected to the other player, but the game absolutely refuses to register any damage.

On top of that, I'm constantly dealing 70-90 ping on average, while I'm going up against folks who are closer to the servers who have 20-30 ping on average.

All I'm asking here, could we just have some servers that can probably be in Dallas, West, or East Coast in the US? Just suggesting here.

What kind of latency are you seeing? It definitely shouldn't be _that_ atrocious though we've occasionally had people get _very_ poor routing (e.g. traffic that detours from FLA to the west coast, then back to chicago and finally to the datacenter.

Running a traceroute to our box will show you the path your traffic is taking at that moment and each step/latency along the way - that can sometimes be informative to pinpoint issues with network congestion etc.

Expanding our server offerings is also something we're potentially interested in doing once we get some administrativa out of the way on our end first so we'll keep this in mind; we've certainly thought about the possibility of getting some VPSes a little further south in the past - though of course up until the steam release it was hard to justify the expense given the low player counts.
