Maybe the reason we can't get a US server is Devs and community don't realize how many of us there really are... ?

Wondering in general.

UK myself. Though im not sure how much Info you will get when you only list two options. The USA is less then 5% of the world's population.

Americans indeed are quite ignorant.

I would suggest to simply list all of the continents except Antarctica.

I also would like to add in the fact that the treshhold for people with a different primary language than English to read these English forums is noticeable lower in general. Thus damaging the representativeness of this poll.

Then when something better, closer comes out I'll spend my cash on that.

The only poll that really matters is not one I can ask of the community- where do the cash purchases come from?

I seriously doubt US players are still in the 5% bracket... and money drives content. Just saying.

Star Citizen is in Alpha... still not quite enough to pull me away from Salem... and maybe not at all if Lag is addressed...

Now you are debating economics, but let me put you in perspective there aswell. Just the European Union alone beats America in those terms. So therefore, more to spend thus more to drive for the content. America´s time is long over, sorry but thats why you guys have to vote for the Trump. It was exactly the ignorance which I mentioned earlier.

judaism lives in a place where he gets to pay more taxes for liberal social programs than the money he gets to keep and can not go outside without the real threat of being murdered by muslims yet wants to poopoo at the united states, right :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not to ruffle any feathers here, but doesn't the EU have over 180 million more people, but the GDP only is about 6% higher than the United States'?

I'm wondering why you keep harping on a imaginary lag problem with this game and why you think the server location has anything to do with it.

Also you are aware that people play from Asia, Canada. South America and Australia right? You poll is as on point as cleatys was.

Is this poll inspired by the meeting thread or the lag question? I've personally not noticed much lag or any character 'jumping'. However, I can tell you that it's not the location of the server causing any lag. For some of you, there might be lag from YOUR location, but moving the server won't change that. I know there was some lag caused by the code itself, but John has been fixing those problems.
