Server location answered

I asked  Justin Wiebe one of the devs on twitter where servers are located and his answer

"Servers are spread all across the world. You ping each one and auto connect to the best ping. Don't know exact locations."

    Awesome.

    netstat -bn

    Looks like AmazonAWS to me.  No clue which ones are really the exact sever your playing on at any given time but my results here in the USA are really good by pining everything I see.  <20ping sitting where I am now to just about all of them I tested.  (look at PvZ.exe not Origin.exe)

    If you're determined I'm sure by studying netstat -bn you can figure it exactly by rerunning time and again... switch server repeat.  There is probably a script somewhere that could be tailored for this if you knew how / what to look for.

    That's as much gas as I feel like throwing right now :P

  • I can tell you right now... With my 80+ hours into this game... I have never played on a US server. Constantly on far away laggy servers no matter what time of day or mode. I heard maybe 15-20 people that spoke english in all my time I played.

    Getting sick of it.

    Strange.. I've heard a few american players in my time in the game, and I am in South Africa, then again I've heard people from everywhere.

    Then why is it that, I'm always put with people that don't speak english and the servers lag?

    Would be nice to get a server select option instead of that worthless MM'ing system, that can't even put me on a US server.

    I rather wait 5 mins to find a game then to be slaped on a server over seas in 5 seconds.

  • Surely there are servers in North America. But there are also people from europe, asia and africa playing in the North American server.
    And as I said in another post, the ping is not the same in America as in Europe

  • It would be nice to say where we are, and put some IP game.
    I start xD
    Argentina

  • Servers are located in California  , Netherlands and ireland , north americans play on same server as south americans unless u live on west coast south Americans gonna have better ping to california servers than people on east coast and you will expirience massive input delay there is no solution to this problem. I tried everything from getting 1ms monitor to switching from comcast cable internet to 1 gig fiber no difference whatsoever
