I'm considering to move the server from Eastern Europe to Germany for better accessibility, but it's not for free (at least € 30 monthly). How much could you pay (monthly) for less lag, for more popular, filled server, for more fun? Help with finding some provider is also appreciated!

More filled? The server is full almost all the time. And the lag is imho not so bad. 30€ per month is a lot and I am not sure if you'd find enough people to pay that all the time.
One day there will be nobody left paying and in the end the server is shut down because you can't pay all the time for all of us.

Other point: Better accessibility? I think the current location is the best average for all players. You have to consider that there are also many easter-europe players. We have nobody from Spain, so why move it more west? The Frenchs are also gone long time ago.


And besides that: What's about the name?! No longer Techcom.cz? It was a name of quality for me, somehow I was proud of this Czech masterpiece. And you really want to give up all the fame for some German charmless, expensive pseudo-quality stuff?


I'd love to keep it where it is.

I agree with Crusha in all points. And me in eastern-Europe too Server is popular and full all the time. Techcom is just superb from any viewpoint. And lags is the problem only for FunnyName

i agree crusha too. not because the new location is not free, but this one is great. i rarely feel the lag. maybe other players have lag more often, i don't know, i speak for myself. (lol, not long time ago, romania had the #3 top internet speed in the world?! it counts?)

1st thing is that techcom is now so popular, u don't wanna lose this stats. u must have some pride man cz server top UT server! next to 5 USA servers! best in europe

ask the other top/active players if they agree with this changes. if u'll ask me, i'll say no

note this: at least, i am happy with this CZ server

for now, of 3 oppinions for the change, 3 negatives 0 pozitive. (funnyname and the other french players maybe will vote for german server, but i guess they'll never pay anything for it)

Hi all,
I'm just a player not a member, so sorry for jabbering in-between. I live in Hamburg and my ping to the server is pretty high. I have lag and packetloss all day (a reason why I'm using the minigun very often ). That's why you surely understand I would like to have the server beeing moved a little closer
You have many players from the Netherlands, UK, Denmark and even France (I am sure). They would benefit from it, too.
Best location imao would be Frankfurt: Most main European internet lines take their way through Frankfurt. So it's likely that even for eastern European players the ping wouldn't increase notably. Please someone compare and post your pings to the TechCom-Server (77.48.117.6) and to a center node in Frankfurt (4.69.140.25). My pings are 72ms (server) and 44ms (Frankfurt) - not in-game of course, use the command shell.
I would support the move, even with a few bucks/month (Foibos, you know how much from our chat). And maybe there are test servers available for a month or so.
Greetz, heinz

So I pinged it.
Techcom: 41, 42, 43ms
Frankfurt: 29, 33, 35ms

Not much difference. I'd still prefer Techcom.


You should consider where the players come from. Many from Romania, some from Ukraine, Hungary, Peg is from Greece… for them it would be worse, the Italians won't probably notice a big difference and the Germans doesn't suffer much if the server stays where it is.


UK, Netherland and French have Titan and TCP close, someone has to care about the east!

It not about the country only, but the server connection, and the current is far to be perfect. Anyway, now we can't attract i. e. the Americans like the Titan can. They and only they can fill the server during nights. Right, I'm the populist, but still looking forward to be better. Btw, Titan and TCP remain dead until they stop ignoring what the players want. The current players.

Im probably the farthest away from the server.
There is a bit of lag here but tbh Techcom rocks!!!
Be loud and proud foibos we rule the internet from CZ!!!
This server is a masterpiece and should be run into the floor.
Keep up the good work and to quote and old master "If it aint broke, don't fix it!"

Hmmm my ping to techcom is 60-90 and i almost never have lost packets and didnt notice lags or smth. Maybe i'm not extremly hardcore gamer which feels every 1 ms, but sniper headshots for example works fine and headshots AFAIK are very sensible to ping.
