Probably on Uranus yes. Certainly not here.

Oops I was thinking of a different country

Well you have to understand I'm not as rich as you and I can't buy 200 dollar wifi.

My internet is <$20 a month. You need to have extremely bad internet in the US for cubecraft to be absolutely unplayable like dial-up. I get around 130-180 ms on average on cubecraft.

I get around 200-300ms here (Taiwan) and have a little bit of Internet connection issues. Since England is the center of the world, everyone is fine. A US server is not necessary. Plus, the country I'm in is a minority, but SA people is one of the majorities. As @POWER_RANGER said, SA needs a server if NA has a server.

@johncoles what do you believe?
i believe that it doesn't need so much , but it's your decision :)

Something like a proxy would be nice, so you would connect to the NA server which only connects to the main server.
Players wouldn't be split up, but ping would decrease.

I must say this does affect the enjoyment of the server for everyone because people from the US are lagging around and other players from Europe have to fight them. It makes the server less enjoyable though having two separate servers is not the way to go.

I get like 38 - 42ms on cube. Surprisingly, it's the best connection I get on any server that I've played on. But anyways, on topic... This would be very good to have since I see nearly every US player having over 100ms.
Quick question: If this were to be done, the US players wouldn't be able to play with the EU players if they're connected to the different hosts, right?

They can, if the US server would simply be a proxy or "collection point" so to speak to connect US players to the main server in GB.
Don't really know how to explain it but I think it looks something like this:

If that's true, wouldn't the latency be the same as now if they have to connect to the us host which then connects to the uk?

 

[Achillez]

The countries are next to each other.

What? Do you even topography?

 

[Deeds]

Honestly, I'm fine and i live in the US.
Its not that bad of connection, in fact, I barely even lag anymore.

 

[Injunction]

I live in the us with not so great internet. If this would be added I could get more ping.

you could try
I don't know maybe
a better connection router
Just a suggestion

People would rely less on their own internet connection which could improve latency in some cases.

What exactly do you mean with US host?
The US host of cubecraft only? The US host of the internet in general?

 

[johncoles]

Some interesting ideas but here are some quick points.
I think it would be cool to expand the network to have more points of presence where our players are. At the moment the majority of our players are in Europe so having our servers in that area works well for us. Our servers are also in France ATM not the UK as people think!

If we did do it I would like to think that we would have a unified server rather than segmented countries.
