Hello, this post is a request: that as many of the Multiplayer MTW2 Gamers could reply-post telling I/us where they live in the world?
I assume most are in America/Europe, but if there are a few Australasians/Asians it would be benefitial to know, as I live on the Butt of the Earth (assuming the north pole is 'up'), thus determining WHEN to play multiplayer greatly enhances my chance of both finding a game, and finding low ping games.
For example, in Dawn of War, 5am (local time) to midday is when the most people are playing, giving the best chance of a game, mainly in the US/Europe reigons, but 5pm (local) to midnight is when the pings are lowest, as Asia is waking up....
Also, what Ping is considered 'average' ?
An RTS online is quite playable with crazy 500-1000 pings, but heaven forbid trying this in a FPS...of course, Total War is a bit of a hybrid, so do people lean towards the RTS or FPS ping requirements?
As always, your replys are appreciated, such a wealth of knowledge this forum contains!
