Cross-region games.

(Glottis-3D) #1

so. since now we have all clients and servers the same, there will be not technical problems in making what this game desperately needs - cross-region games. why is this needed? simple answer: so that community wont be split, and will not die. i dont what to hear about how other split-region games do not die, those are other games, and not DB. we have this community for years, and we had always have UA, BY, Ru clans and national teams competing in euro-based cups both in ET & ETQW.

what are thoughts on this?

i realy liked the idea from Mustang
“I wonder if it would be feasible to have a hidden(ish) menu option called “enable global servers” or something, this way every publisher will have only their customers by default, but for those that wish they can toggle it on and connect freely to any available server worldwide, it could even display the city/country the server is hosted in (although this would be a nice feature to add regardless of incorporating differing publishers or not).”

this is better than mods, and better than temporary events like worlds cups. because i want playing in both regions on regular basis.

Hello there krokodealer,

While it may seem like there aren’t any technical complications that would prevent cross region servers from happening, there are in fact a number of issues that occur.

One of the biggest problems is that each region has their own user account and database system that has been integrated into the game. These systems are designed to interact with their own environment and the game. They’re not designed with other partner regions in mind.

While I’m not one to say never, I would say that it’s extremely unlikely that this situation will change.
