    You might have noticed that there is not a lot of Japanese and Australians on KAG. Actually they sometimes come and play but quickly run off because their pings are so high! We need to setup some new servers in new locations. Here is my list. If you can provide some hosting or you know some provider which I can contact please let us know!

    - Australia / New Zealand
    - East Asia (Japan/Korea/China)
    - West Coast USA
    - South America

    Hey MM,
    There are already 2 servers running for Australians but they seem to lag out every now and then which leads to everybody freezing on the screen for 5 seconds or more. It gets very annoying, however, everybody lags at the same time which is strange... But still, its a lot better than playing on US servers and getting owned all the time cause of extreme lag.

    Has this still be happening?

    This should be fixed by the 15th of November with a bit of luck.

    Once this issue is resolved i am happy to host more servers.

    What about South America? I bet there are thousands of potential players over there!

    Antarctica needs a server. The penguins here are getting feisty.

    Last weekend the ABC3 TV show Spawn Point did a short cover on KAG which may be a reason for some spike in activity from the southern " hemispherians " " , " hemispherianites? ", anyways. They chose not to rate becuase it had no Australian server to play on at the time of review.

    The show is aimed at the younglings but still, here it is http://www.abc.net.au/abc3/goodgamesp/transcripts/s3344541.htm

    The west coast isn't too bad, but sometimes if I join the second server on the list get kicked for too high ping. But usually can join 1-3 servers fine.

    Yes, added South America to the list. Brazilians love my games so I'm sure they want KAG servers!
    If you don't have a server could you at least find some game server providers and nag them to install KAG?

    KAGBrasil.com had a 64 players server but the host canceled the partnership. We are trying to open the server again...

    Does KAG support east Asian character input? I never tried it...

    If so, I wouldn't mind setting up a korean & a japanese server.

    Oh please do, I will forever be in your debt. Unfortunately japanese/korean hosts with english writing is fairly limited and I'm not sure if any of the ones I've found has the cpu power for KAG :/

    There are two satellite primarily, GOES (and I think TDRS) that provide connectivity. Both are slightly outdated.
    The newer satellites run in geosynchronous orbit, which is only at the equator and can't establish LoS at Antarctica.

    Latency is in the high hundreds to thousands.
    P2P/Skype/etc is expressly forbidden in all forms.
    There are short windows of broadband connectivity, not 24/7. We are talking less than 2 Mbps.
    There are emergency satellite modems for 24/7 connectivity, but these are less than ~3.0KiB/sec in practice.

    Scientific data takes priority, all other traffic, web browsing, etc is scaled back and rate limited / QoSed.

    The outbound "public" IP address is geolocated/marked US (at a US-owned station), all the VoIP phones have a US area code and ten digit number.
    Most popular games are playable over LAN - 3 *second* latency is not fun for any FPS ;)

    If you want more servers, make it as easy as possible to use the server software. Documentation would help, particularly documentation in the language of the locale you want more servers in.
