Don't dodge the question this time

To make this short and simple for any z8 staff who may read this so that they can understand the question;
'Why are the UK servers hosted in Germany not the UK?'

I'm fed up of this complete bull - you claim this is NA/UK (<---) crossfire, yet it has no actual British servers and to be honest, you can't even keep the servers running! So much for the 'Best' free FPS.

maybe 'if' they are hosted in Germany it is because they have better links than they could have in 'UK' ?
how can you tell they are hosted in Germany ?

Now, I have nothing against Germans, I'm just annoyed that z8 still try to claim that this is UK/NA when they don't even have any real UK-based servers and furthermore UK people aren't allowed to register for CFEU, another version hosted in Germany.

Exactly.

So you're saying you won't play the other 3 UK servers just because one other server seems to be based in Germany?

Edit: and how are you deducing this is the ACTUAL game server and not just something like a login server?

And I thought you had plenty of good arguments there...
You just see different IPs and make assumptions without connecting dots....

C'mon Z8..

There has been proof provided by other players in the past that the UK servers are in-fact hosted in Germany. What is annoying is that Z8 seem to have no care for their UK customers who have to put up with laggy servers filled with alot of players who sometimes can't even speak English except for when they are insulting us. <-- Just one of many annoyances we have to put up with on OUR 'UK' servers.

On a side note (I know this isn't to do with Z8, but it needs to be addressed) and not meaning at all to sound racist. By why on earth are UK players banned from CFEU, whilst players from countries such as Turkey (who may I say are not even in the EUROPEAN Union) are allowed. But even though these players have less laggy servers they still come over to the UK servers and lag them up nicely. Why not block players allowed into CFEU from CFNA? I would not want this to happen, but I just don't see why the UK player basse are blocked from CFEU considering ,for example, that we were a fundamental country in setting up the EU in the first place. It really is bordering on discrimination probably for the simple fact that the companies that be do not make enough money from us honest folk.

I really love CF and I really like what Z8games does for us. But please [Z8] don't ignore our constant support tickets with automated answers or over-look our needs as much as any other country.

When they changed the servers a while back (around the time the updated xfire properly for once? Don't hold me to that timing..) everyone's ping changed -> I personally went from 12-18 to averaging at 30 while German players found the opposite. This was later backed up by players running server IP checkers who found that the servers were being hosted in Germany by a German company.

Now, I have nothing against Germans, I'm just annoyed that z8 still try to claim that this is UK/NA when they don't even have any real UK-based servers and furthermore UK people aren't allowed to register for CFEU, another version hosted in Germany.

ORLY ?! then tell me why my ping raised too. You say the server are hosted in germany. Before any huge updates i had a ping of 28-31 in uk. AND NOW it raised up to 41-43. And yes, im from germany !
