US South Servers to be shut down
Comments

This is unfair, US South Servers is always whit 3-4 channels full of latin american people that loves the game.
In Us South Server I had 100 ping, now I have to play whit 230 in alpha, bravo, etc.
Aslo CrossFire *South America* (Thats NOT TRUE, ITS CROSSFIRE BRAZIL..) we have high pings. Like 320, 450, 214, etc.
CrossFire will lost ALOT of South American population by doing this.
Take Us South Server back or Do another server located in south America, like in Ecuador, Perú or other country.
CF South America is CF Brazil! The only players that can play are brazilians, everything is in portuguese and ALL other countrys of south america doesnt understand that idiom.

I want to preface by saying that much of what follows is based on my experience in web hosting and other server based applications, so it may or may not carry over to hosting game servers. I apologize if I mislead anyone.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Foxtrot is located in the same location as Alpha - Echo. It costs much more money to operate a remote server in a different location such as Miami. You have to pay for a internet connectivity, server collocation. Additional servers in Canada do not have near the incremental costs as an additional server located elsewhere.
I understand the frustration with losing a server where you have better ping, but it makes perfect sense to shut down a server with low activity, especially when that server is likely one of the more expensive servers to operate.
yes I agree with you if all the latin american players played in south server then their wouldn't be a shut down, but i guess DELTA , Alpha an bravo are still being used b/c I see high pings their. Its the fault of their own an shouldn't cry about it now since majority don't even play their only a small percent who are now on the forums crying about it. So its basically the right thing to do to save money cost an have better servers in the future. -

Most of people doesn't know English grammar and they want to express is upset. Stop laughing at this situation, because you're not affected. -

Approved! The Brazilians are those that suffer from the ping, and many like me, have bought ZP and only played at Us Soulth Server1, because it was the best server for us. We want the Us Soulth back.
GOGO Z8GAMES. -
I can't swear on it obviously since I'm not privy to that information, but it strikes me as highly unlikely.' wrote:Ohhh[;3246856']I can't help wondering if they may just close UK servers soon too. I have to say this is really bad PR. Suddenly announcing that you are discontinuing a service (effectively what it is), without warning or anything.
US South was removed (pending move) because it lacked the activity to justify its cost.
UK servers get pretty regular and major activity, most of them at least, and the one(s) not being constantly full act as redundancy and testing grounds, as previously mentioned.
Not to worry.
Taking down more servers isn't really going to get another back up and running.gabrielpeio wrote: »anonymous attack!!!!!

what happend "Z8games"? u.s south server is the only server where people latina can play.. i know that there is a "CF AL" but not latin, is brazilian... spanish speaking people i can not play on that server... i live in venezuela should have better ping in "CF AL" it turns out that i have 230 ping while "CF NA (u.s south server)" i have 60-90 ping... ruin the fun.

Same goes whit me.
CF AL: 300 ping
CF NA (Us South Server): 110 ping -
I know it sucks for all those that liked the US South server, but Z8 has determined it isn't profitable to maintain. Asking them to bring it back is the same as asking your neighbors to keep and pay for their WiFi internet connection they don't use so you can have free access to it.
For those complaining from South America, Remember this has ALWAYS been the NA/UK CF version. Decisions for this version will always be focused on NA/UK first and for most. You should instead be demanding for more servers in CF LA for you to play in instead of asking for CF NA/UK to keep servers for you.
You all have 3 options:
1. Play in CF LA intill enough non-Brazilians play in it to justify making non-Brazil servers in it for you.
2. Play this version with massive lag knowing it probably won't ever get better for you.
3. Just quit CF all together. -
because we have done that if this server is where Latin Americans played better with a ping of 109 in my case in the other server I ping fluctuates up to 10000 as a benefit may be that I have a good internet but I returned the fluctuations south server us please .....[GM]Saidin wrote: »Attention Mercenaries,
The Miami Server will be shut down effective midnight tonight. At this time we have no plans to bring the server back.
Please note that after the US South Servers are down, the Server Selection window will display the wrong servers as having 5% Bonus GP. The current Servers which have 5% Bonus GP are:UK Server 4The average activity level of the Miami Server is an incredibly small fraction of the daily population of the game. Most of the people that used this server will be able to get a similar latency by connecting to either the US West or the Regular CF Servers.
Delta Server
We will be monitoring the impact of this change on all levels, it is our goal to increase the capacity of the servers in concentrated areas rather than these fringe servers that don't serve any significant population of people. As always we'll be watching for your feedback and looking at the raw game data to determine the best possible course of action moving forward!
In addition to this, there is a side effect that should help funnel new players to the South American version at br.crossfire.z8games.com. We have already seen the population start to move down there in the first 8-10 months of this SA service, and we will continue to encourage players from Brazil to play there.
We will also be looking to replace the bonus 5% GP server somewhere else, as well as look at the level requirements of all the servers to see if we can implement any positive changes for our users.
While this Server Shutdown won't affect many people we do realize that it will inconvenience some, and for that we are deeply sorry.
Thanks for your patience and understanding and for your continued loyalty to Cross Fire!

Thanks for ruin the game for all Latin American Players, we appreciate that. Thanks for invite us to play another game, really, thank you z8games. Now I have time to play COD4.
Go to Crossfire Brasil?? I prefer die first to play in that hole of hackers.
Again, you **** all over this time
. At least 3000 players are going to quick Crossfire.
Sorry for my grammatical issues, Im a Latin American guy, I dont understand the english very well. -
You guys gotta realize one thing... Z8games is above all else... a business.
And just like any business they have to cut losses and go where the money is.
If they gave in to every users' wants/needs Saidin would have to pay out of his own pocket to keep the servers going. Oh and new content... xtrap updates? Pshhh can't afford that crap.
In other words... stop whining. Play or don't play.
If they see a huge decline because of this call then they may rethink their decision. Like he said they look forward to peoples feedback. But insulting them or threatening to leave.... Gimme a break. -
Well this sucks.
Speaking in the name of my clan, we're gonna quit CF over all. We're mostly from Colombia, and we were able to get a decent 50-70 ping in US South. The only server where over 90% of the players were good (As in not noobs and no hackers). It was a challenge and that's what was fun for most of us. I played in Alpha and Echo today... I ended up with an over 3.0 KDR, over 30 kills in each game, with a 150 ping and had no fun at all. I also got kicked from 5 rooms because they thought I was a hacker with my (over) 3 yr experience on the game. A bunch of ZP wasted. There probably weren't as many people playing at certain time during the day cause most of us are over 18 and have to work and go to college which demands more time than school, yet there were barely any hackers and we played with fair weapons, as soon as we spotted a hacker we just kicked him out of the room.
Closing the server wouldn't be much of a problem if there were any way to transfer our accounts from CF NA/UK to CF BR. But loosing all the time, effort and money is just not fair. If your decisions would have been better planned, and what I mean by that is giving at least a 1 month warning so that all of us would know about this and giving us the option to move our accounts. If you would have done this we wouldn't be so disappointed, But telling us to star over in another game that's in Portuguese which meas it was only made for Brazil as it's the only country to speak it as a native language in South America which happens to have 12 countries, 11 that speak SPANISH as a a native language, not counting central america where we would have a total of 22 Spanish speaking countries and one country that speaks Portuguese. Its has no common sense. Also the CF BR servers are only located in Brazil, well that doesn't help the latency problem at all, or at least not for Central America or the northern part of South America.
Do some research, have some common sense and talk to people that will be affected before making this kind of decisions that will sound and be interpreted as a stupidity to most of us. From my point of view what you should have done was add or move the US South server to somewhere in Central America. Or in case you didn't want to move the servers and make more money, you should have launched the CF LA with two language options, which is not hard to do, and spread the servers all over Latin America instead of putting them all in Brazil. If you need any advice on how to deal with this kind of decisions, feel free to message me or anyone with some general and cultural knowledge. -
