No, infact their servers are hosted outside of Malaysia, its in Taiwan. So the problem lies on our international link to Taiwan which is not stable. If GF host the server in Malaysia, there won't be much of the lag that we are experiencing rite now. So kudos to GF for finding such a good solution to cure the lag last time(2003 i think). Hosting the server in Taiwan is really a good idea. I hope the next game will be host somewhere in other country, perhaps Croatia. The further the better, right GF chairman? I hope he will be reading this hahaha.
If the server is in Malaysia, that still cannot confirm you lag free u know. If servers r in Malaysia, then everything will be controlled by TMNut including lag or not also depends on TMNut.
History:For those who play mRO since early of 2004 (version War of Emperium; no p2p yet), you know about this...
Last time Iris was really very lag (around 9k ppl). I still remember that time i was lvling my 100% pure handplay Magician. Mjolnir 10 was super lag, i always got killed by argiope coz can't put the Fire Wall nicely. Furthermore, i was casting fire bolt on the argiope with a fire wall blocking it. But then there's no fire bolts coming down from the sky after finished casting. After a while, i see myself lying on the floor oredi (wasn't that amazing?).
There's one period whereby there r around 12k ppl in Iris!!! Surprisingly, there's no lag n everything as smooth as "tau hui"(hokkien). The reason is the servers r not in Malaysia oredi. Still remember?
