Lets be positive and try something, we like this server so ... We could donate money just in purpose to promove the server in Asia. What we can lose? Already losing time if theres not an active community.
Its possible to be possitive at least 1 time?
Im thinking if there are many asian players that start playing on that host, there will be more donations and a wide of probabilities can show up, hiring new capable GMs, getting back motivation of GMSignPainter, who knows, it could be something cyclical for good *this time*

What's the point of all this low ping in Asia region but there's no official effort to promote the server?
Or new/additional features to attract new players?



Agree, and voted 0 too.

If ill get 300 ping sure quit faster than alt+F4

Anyone can be as positive as they want, but they have to accept the reality too, however ugly it may be.
Otherwise, they're just daydreaming and will get nowhere.

Maintaining a server does require money, and donation does help in some way, but I doubt Jill has any problem maintaining the server based on how strong the server has prevailed all these years, with or without donation.
Promoting a server on the other hand, requires ZERO amount of donation, so your suggestion makes no sense at all.
About many Asian players playing leads to more donations, well first, you have to get those players to come first. With minimal to no effort of promoting the server officially with interesting features, that seems to be a long shot.

Just face it. To increase the server population, we need more than just low ping.

I would like to remind that nothing is definitive and Singapore is just one of several locations we want to try out. We are not going to move there if a bunch of our playerbase (South American players) cannot play there in good conditions.

Can you address mewraja's post? He made some reasonable points.

Increasing server population is a combination of all this afaik. Hosting in Asia might attract a few asian players but not much if we don't promote or there aren't any interesting features to attract. Staying in NA, they might come and then leave due to high ping (I know multiple of them stopped playing due to high ping).
Moving to an asian host isn't the only thing we are going to do. Once we've found a good host, we will actively promote the game. Meanwhile, we are also working on new changes to make the game more attractive.
