NHL SERVERS!/New Servers

Hopefully they reach out to you this week i would love to know aswell. My self im from alberta and my ping has actually felt worse this year so I doubt the server in any way close to me 

Hey, @Tedfox39 

The north-central server is in the US. We don't give out the exact locations of our servers though.

Can you put out a server in central canada ??

@reddeer874 

I'll pass along the feedback. Thank you.

Would sure make sense to serve one of the top valued markets in the NHL and the home of the league's best player
I'm within an our of Edmonton and this game is borderline unplayable online, no excuses for that

Even if there was a server in Edmonton, that doesn’t mean you’d always be playing on it unless you set every search to match best region in EASHL or to match whatever ping that works out to be in HUT. In which case, you could be looking at lengthy wait times.
East players almost always back out of club games that end up on a west server. They’re spoiled with more servers and a higher player base out there so they have that luxury.

See my previous post…

You can search best region, but doesn’t mean you’ll find games easily. Unless you’re playing with AI in EASHL, I suppose you would match up with the same players over and over. I already see that as is. And in HUT it would mean longer wait times if you restricted the ping to your lowest. There’s far more players searching at any given time in the NE region than the NW. 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m in AB too and it would be nice to play on 10ms or whatever. Just being realistic about possible outcomes with such a server.

Well of course there is going to be more playing searching in the Northeast because the servers are better there. If they bettered the servers for us Canadian  folk there would actually be way more people playing the game online. Nobody plays online in A good majority of Canada anymore because the Ping is so lopsided between the majority of the people playing with low PING. It’s unfortunate because people like myself want to stop playing this game entirely because of the connection issues.
