Server for Turkey

Please read my post in full before closing it, or deleting it. Thank you.

So, after the response from my last topic.
I've been thinking of a way to solve the problem that will benefit both the players of the UK servers, and those from countries such as Turkey, Egypt and UAE.

People argue that it's stereotyping, and correct me if I'm wrong; But I really do see alot of hackers who appear to have names that would suggest they're from countries such as those listed above.

I wouldn't mind however if it didn't affect my gameplay, that's why I'm here.
It's not because I want to prevent others from different countries enjoying the game, but because I want to stop the hackers overrunning cross fire.

A new server.
Yes, that's right, if they had their own server the crossfire that I play would be much more enjoyable and theirs would too.
I don't mean a whole new site and everything, but simply a channel on our version.

Perhaps the reason why people turn to hacking is it's frustrating playing with 100+ ping, and I can see why, we've all suffered a lag spike..and it really makes the game tougher to play.
So by creating a new server, perhaps the number of hackers would decrease across the game as a whole.

I feel a new server based in say, Turkey or Egypt would be profitable for Z8Games, and would improve gameplay (lower ping) for the people who will use said future server and also those who play on the UK Server now.

I doubt my suggestion will actually be taken into account, but thanks for reading.

  • I don't see how making a suggestion for a new server is in any way against the rules.
    The subjects I choose to address might be controversial, but I'm just saying what everyone is thinking and fighting for the best possible Cross Fire.
  • Yes, this thread is much more civil so I shall award it with a more civil reply.


    I'm not certain, but I do believe the licensing terms only allows G4Box to HAVE players from aforementioned regions play on this version - it does not allow the company to host servers in any unlicensed region.

    Basically if you have a license for a region, the people from that region are allowed to play on it, and you're allowed to host servers in that region.
    Also, people from other regions are allowed to play on it unless their region is licensed by a different company.
    Unlicensed regions, such as Turkey and Egypt, are allowed to play on any version, unless the version has voluntarily blocked those regions.


    ok i lost track again.. sorry, my chain of thoughts has many weak links tonight.



    No, OP will not be infracted for this thread.
    Civilized threads are very welcome, even if the subject is.. sensitive.
    Its all about how you phrase it. This is a good example.

    you will be infracted soon :cool:

    Reason?

    Suggestions serves a purpose and that is to recommend an implementation or update or something. He's not going to be infracted, unless he's breaking forum rules lol.

    Anyways, Z8Games require a license to host servers in Turkey. The players there must show that they're profitable to possibly convince Z8Games to even attempt to have a server based in Turkey, or somewhere in the Middle East, for players that actively play Cross Fire.

    Just because op had his recent thread closed does not imply he'll be continuing to discriminate or show racism again.
  • But your country isn't in North America, therefor new Turkey players would most likely spread out in all the servers, causing lag for everyone.
  • If other regions continue to play and give enough for profit, I can see another version taking place.

    Example: CFSA
    There were so many players in that area that deposited enough money where it was profitable. CFSA is doing VERY well and still growing.

    Hopefully there will be more growing for crossfire and another version is made. I think CFNA has enough area already serving Canada, US, and UK.
  • lol well I doubt they make a server for turkey, how about you guys just take on of UK's less populated channel and self baptise is Turkish players,,,,, blabla. if everyone has around the same ping I doubt you'll see a lot of crying and nagging. although well. I don't care about Turkish players, I'm Armenian, proud to be :) 23ping in alpha<3
  • jajaja lol you ask for server hahahhaha crossfire dont make server aim from latin america and i have ask for server for the latin america players she say whe cAnt mAke a server for latins and say always go play CFLA BUT CFLA IS ONLY FOR BRASILIANS I DONT THINK SHE MAKE A SEVER IN MIDDLE EST
  • hey u say that u want them to make aserver for egyptions,turks &aue cuz they play with hacker so where is ur HSR http://clan.z8games.com/charstat_cf.aspx?usn=4131754 isn't that ur ace hackers is from all the world not in the three counties u said above am new in the game and i play will i safer from hackers so i just the game that hacker play with me and report him
    if my brother play with hack i will report him ..so why u acctily make this topic cuz u r from 09 and still in sec LT rank or cuz u failled to play with hack and u think that the players from other countries dont desirve to play the game ??

    making new server for arab will be good to me i will play with arab that seems cool i will be one of the best 10 Ranks in the game but making it for the reasons that u say isn't allowed to be
  • Well, the topic has always been hot, but I have to agree with the OP.
    countries like Turkey or Egypt and its arabian neighbors are quite far away from the servers for the region. This for once results in high pings. In addition, we have the fact that the internet infrastructure isn't the best everywhere. In countries located nearer to the servers, that would not be so significant. But if you're already far away from the servers, that adds up to a situation where your ping problems get grave.

    Regarding the hacking:
    I think the OP has a valid point. If you lag consistently, no matter the reason, your gameplay is affected negatively. People with low ping can kill you more easily than you can kill them (at least that's my experience) and you sometimes get kicked if you have a high ping (I admit that I do that myself once a lagger affects my gameplay; I don't have to justify it, I just want to be able to play in an enjoyable fashion without laggers ruining my gameplay).
    If you get owned all the time or are even forced to leave rooms due to your ping (which you can't really influence if you live far away from the servers), you get frustrated.
    And that CAN (I don't say will) lead to people using illegal methods to reach good stats. And if we're all honest, everybody wants to feel like a king when playing a game.
    Of course that's not the only reason why people start using hacks. Some don't want to spend money and thus have a hard time holding their ground against people with crate guns. Others find it takes too long to reach a good rank (which many people seem to crae about) and hack to get that rank, willingly risking their Honorable soldier ribbon for that.

    However, all that is not restricted to players from Turkey, Egypt or players from arabic countries. I've also seen hackers from North America, continental Europe and the UK. Some hack because it's the easy way for them to get good results (as long as it's still possible to create multiple accounts). Others hack so they can achieve a good rank before being banned once and then stopping to hack. Others do it just to troll players.
    It's just that people from Turkey, Egypt and arabic countries pose a significant minority and because they seem to lag more often than other groups (due to their remoteness from any server of this CF version), they enrage other players and get much negative attention that is mainly driven by bad experiences one has had with other players from those groups. This of course is stereotypic, but I think sometimes you just can't help getting a stereotype, it happens automatically.

    Overall, I must really say it could improve the whole situation if there was a special server for these groups. They would have a better gaming experience and the UK/NA-based players would have one as well. On the other hand, as long as those regions aren't licensized, there can be no servers in that region.

    best regards,

    Firstly, thanks everyone for your input. If we get enough people behind this idea then perhaps it will be considered soon.

    And, in response to the post above:
    You have no idea what I was banned for, end of.
    I made my account in 09, but why should that mean I should be higher rank?
    It doesn't. I've not played very much until recently (I just started again in Februay)
    And finally, rank means nothing. If I can beat a guy everytime, I'm better than him; regardless of his rank or mine.
