NHL SERVERS!/New Servers
Can anybody tell me where all the NHL servers are located? Apparently there is a new North Central Server, Is this in Canada and where abouts if so?

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.
@Socair What possible drawbacks would there be?

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.
- @Socair To me, ANY potential improvement on input lag is a massive benefit and nothing you described there would be a drawback
@Socair @dannythetemp @EA_Aljo @reddeer874
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.
- @Tedfox39 The best I can get is about 25ms, which I could live with if there wasn't input lag. I've felt "better" games with higher ping. I could fight through ping issues but I can't play this game adequately with whatever is generating the input lag, it affects everything you need to perform
