Yeah it's a great idea IF... the majority of our players were from the USA, but many of them are not so I would strongly disagree with this, because we would lose a LOT of our regular players on S1 if it was lowered to this level. It does have a ping limit on it, not sure what it is but I "think" it's around 500 ms. Like the others have said here I say we leave it where it is, seems to work well for everyone at the moment. Not sure what the problems are that Ieditz is having but when I'm on everything seems fine, I live fairly close to the server so I normally get a really low ping (around 40 ms), and the higher ping guys don't seem to affect my game other than it's a bit harder to hit them because of the lag, that's all.
The current ping limit is set to 450. Yes, trying to kill the laggers does get annoying at times but fortunately, we don't usually run into them quite often.
The majority have spoken by the way, the ping limit stays.
