the game needs to come to the US

... and there I can be King!

I can become the new Tribe; lmao... not really... seriously though.

I quit,

Leaving Salem.

Legacy pissed me off to no end; but I found ways to coordinate with other who had it to bypass it's infringement.

What I couldn't bypass was connectivity. In the US I pay > $100US/month for Megabits/s for connection speeds that exceed 50Mbps for Boston, Austin, LA, etc... I can even connect with Anchorage AK at over 35 MBps... but Sweden? Stolkhom?... 4 MBps download and upload... and that's best out of 10 attempts...usually its substantially less. I think pay for and expect the next best thing to fiber... and my connection to the game is less than 1/10th of what I expect; considering what I pay for bandwidth.

Jorb- or who-ever... I really like your game... I really wanted to keep playing it. Legacy **** pissed me off to no end; but I was willing to play around it as I could.]Connectivity is the real game-breaker for me. It's a lot more than just PVP... I can barely kill deer at 60 humors... and when my game crashes fighting bear... I'm KO'd by the time I log back in. It's totally impractical. Yes, I'm clearing Java cache... it's not enough... it's a geographical handicap. Servers are in Europe... and I'm in the US. That's what it boils down too.

There's a reason major MMO's have separate servers. This is the most obvious reason possible. I do get good connection sometimes; but it oscilates at a pattern I can't readily identify.

I'm glad I learned of Salem, glad I got a chance to play; but until Salem comes to the US- I don't see a return in any form. No matter you might improve the gluttony system or wipe the entire thing... only a US based server will convince me to give Salem another shot.

Thanks for creating this opportunity.

Frakked.

I live on the west coast of the US and I have no connection problems. It must just be you.

Thanks for offering- but I think one exception to the rule- and there are always execeptions... is no judge on reality.

It takes no bandwidth to lime fields...

Sounds like you know a lot more about paying for internet than anything about how it works. RIP, good luck with getting java not to crash on all those M"B"/s, maybe you should buy more to fix your ****** computer!
