    I don't know if I am posting in the right section of the forums, just move this where it belongs if it's misplaced.

    Anyway, the title says it all. How about having an Asian server for STTT? There's a handful of Asian players (including me) in the community. Maybe hosting it in Singapore as it is close to where most Asian people in TTT play? (SG, PH, MY, ID, etc.)

    Not only will this make the gaming experience of Eastern people better (reduced ping/delay) but will also introduce the community to new audiences.

    I know that having a server ain't cheap, but yeah just throwing it out here. :D

    Well, as most game hosts go, they usually host at SG, for sure there will be PH players too. But hey all players are welcome in the server right :D

    The biggest problem I could see with this suggestion is the language barrier. You'll notice that our server locations are in areas with a prodominatly English-speaking population. This is so we can have easy communication between staff and players.

    I do understand that especially the younger generation in Asia are learning English much more often but it might cause problems as the native language is dominant over there.

    EHH, give it a second. I say in like 2017 we will have enough Asian players.

    As for where the server is hosted, it only makes sense for it to be in South East Asia.

    Indonesia,Singapore, or the Philippines would be a good choice. That's because it gives a good ping base for Asian and Aussie players, and this way it can double.

    My previous thoughts on the matter still stand true now.

    Not gonna lie tho, finally playing on like 60 ping would actually make me cry.

    No but in all seriousness, I'd be down with that. A new pool of players in the community is always a good thing in my book.

    Uh... +1? Might want to move this to suggestions to be honest.

    Yes, was on my iPad at the time of writing, and sometimes I press the wrong keys, and autocorrect will try to fix my fuck ups, I sort of skimmed through, didn't notice the mistake.

    maybe not south but midwest or whatever region you wanna call North Dakota down and stuff.

    Also for any new NA servers to happen, we would have to normally have the servers full for highwon to consider it, and I think if he were to, we would have to wait to start DarkRP or anything else. We actually might want to get advertisement at that point tbh. I don't know how well an Asian server is going to be, being the slightly lacking community we are, but we deal with people speaking russin and minimal english on eu as well as a load of other languages and deal. I'll give a +1 if we can somehow get advertisement for it all.
