hello everyone, I would like to suggest to you today that Riot is establishing a Hawaiian server to the West Coast of the USA, the Hawaiian and all those who have too much ping the Oceanic server, the example of europe serrveur Eastern and Western Europe. thank you for sharing your opinions.item 3070

It sucks to have to be stuck with a bunch of relatively bad ping options for servers. Unfortunately, the playerbase that such a server would, er... serve... is far too small to be worthwhile. This is the whole reason that East and West NA servers weren't the solution for NA as a whole, too. A lot of people don't realize it, but Europe's total population is about 200 Million higher than North America's. That is a large part of why it was viable to split Europe into two servers.

I understand that, but I'm not just talking about the person of Hawaii, I also speak to other people in the Oceania, the Pacific server because there is a lot of lag, that's why I propose has the comunity if they agree, then Riot judge for themselves, thank you for your understanding.

A server in Hawaii would serve absolutely nobody other than folks in Hawaii. It's almost 2400 miles from the nearest point in California (mind you that is only 300 miles less than the width of the entire continental united states). Californians would still have better ping to the new Chicago servers. It's almost double that distance to Australia, so it wouldn't serve them well, either. And at 3800 miles from Japan, it won't help them at all.

Dude there a lot of people related to hawaii connection like us in french polynesia so ...

Zielmann2 votes

2600 miles for you, so still not all that practical. Also, French Polynesia only has 250k people, so the argument here is frankly pretty weak.

Our internet is connected to Hawaii via the Honotua cable.

Thank you, voice of reason.

Sure a server in every household would be ideal, but frankly a hawaiian server is highly impractical from a macro-view. Sorry to be negative, but i wouldn't cross your fingers on this one.

Man, you're just right, their is so many people who can't play correctly in their region, even turkey has a server and it's a country and us we are maybe 5 countries who have a ping as 150 maybe more, me i have 200 ping in good conditions very poor connection on NA server now before that was 160 and on Oceania my region i have 330 ping so i hope we can soon play correctly thx bro, thx riot for help us item 3070

I agree too plz do it riot we need a hawaiian server because playing with 220-275 ms :s it's not funny at all

SpaceMutton2 votes

yeah please create this server it would be really nice for all the players who have high pings + we had already high pings and after the server moved we have now like 200-300 pings

TurquoiseYoshi2 votes

If you mean splitting the servers into NA West and NA East, then we'd have to get rid of the Chicago server because it's too central for the east. And tons of people hate that idea even without that.

If you mean putting one in Hawaii, then that's never gonna happen. Riot doesn't have one in Japan or Africa yet, and those are much, much larger markets than Hawaii (population-wise).

Kaiona1 votes

There's a Japanese server in the making

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

It has been in the making for over a year, and we haven't gotten any meaningful updates since the confirmation of it.

Sure, just give us New Yorkers our own server as well.

Because, I dunno... reasons?

Zair Umbras1 votes

NY should be getting a max of around 100 ping, just like Californians are getting right now. lol.

I agree too, lag so much on NA server

Riot , My Dear Lord.

I know create a server is not easy.

But if you create a Hawaiian server, I will be so so so glad and not only all French Polynesia.

Thank you a lot Riot.

A player since 2009.

Hello i too will be so thankfull if you guys can create the servers for us because before the server move this his new location my ping used to be under 165 now i play with 200-215 of ping so if this server can be create so we can have a normal ping like 120 it would really cool and by the way thank you so much Riot for this amazing game that League Of Legend is.

I doubt there is a large enough population to make a Hawaiian Server worth it.

However, there is a large enough population to make a west coast server worth.

Kaiona1 votes

A Hawaiian server would help us in the Pacific, while on a West Coast server, we would still have a relatively high ping. I live in French Polynesia, the lowest ping you could get was 120 and that's when the server was still in LA. Now that the server moved to Chicago, it's at least 180, and that's on good days.

I personally play with at least 220pings. And on OCE it's even worse.

Daedalus8711 votes

Yeah, and a server in Oregon would help us on the West Coast out, while a Hawaiian server would do little to nothing.

And while there is a "lot" of players in Polynesia, there's even more on the west coast.

Kaiona1 votes

There's a much bigger difference between the ping you get on the West Coast than the ping you get in the Pacific area. I lived on the East Coast for a while (2 years) and visited the West Coast several time before, and the ping was much lower than what I have now. (60 on the West Coast and 110 on the East Coast before the server moved)

Daedalus8711 votes

So you can put can put a server in Hawaii, which would probably be used only Polynesia minus New Zealand. That's a population of about 2 million people.

Or you can put a server on the west coast, which will serve pretty much everything west of the Rockies, including Polynesia, which is a population of about 65 million. Not to mention a west coast server will be cheaper per person, because we have power and space, two things that are hard to find on an island.

I lived in Hawaii for a year and my ping was always in the 90s playing on the NA server. If you're seeing higher then that then it's probably an issue with your connection, not Riot.

Furthermore, I don't think there's enough players on the islands to warrant a new server. It's a pretty huge cost both for hardware and maintenence. On top of this, the low player base would result in long queue times or unfair matchmaking.

Kaiona1 votes

There's a lot of players in French Polynesia, and good ones even (I know some are master rank). The lowest ping we can have is around 120 (and that was before the server moved). It was mostly because of our bad internet provider at first, but even now that we have a fiber optic connection (from Hawaii), it's still really high. I personally play with 220pings, and that's on a good day.

We can't play on OCE either because our ping on this server is actually higher than on NA (I have an account on OCE). Turkey has a server, there's a South East Asia serve too, and Japan is getting a server apparently too.

Randomonium1 votes

There are A LOT more gamers in South East Asia, Turkey, and Japan then in French Polynesia. Believe me, if the player base was there Riot would do it. If they tried to do it now the queue times would be insanely long and the match making would be infuriating.

Kaiona1 votes

There's not only French Polynesia in the Pacific. But indeed, a different server wouldn't work because of the number of player.

Having some kind of relay or moving the server back to the West Coast would help us more. Or improve OCE then, because I started playing on it when it was still beta and it's still not very enjoyable..

Randomonium2 votes

I think upgrading or relocating the OCE server is the best bet.

Hello riot , I agree to the creation of the Hawaiian server because I can not stand the Oceanien server for frequent lags . Thank you

MegaManYYZ1 votes

maybe with the creation of a Japan server, it might help.

Kaiona1 votes

Not even. There's the OCE server already and the ping on it is higher than on NA. (I play on both servers: usually around 220 pings on NA (the lowest I can get is 180pings) and 300 pings on OCE)

MegaManYYZ1 votes

OCE is quite a bit farther than Japan... and they use different networks to get to Hawaii...

Kaiona1 votes

The internet in French Polynesia, my country, is connected to Hawaii via the Honotua cable. We're also closer to Hawaii and Australia (OCE), than to Japan.

MegaManYYZ1 votes

and Hawaii is still closer to Japan than OCE... maybe not you but for Hawaii, yes...

Kaiona1 votes

Hawaii is pretty much between Japan and the NA server. (4,194 miles for Hawaii-Chicago and 4,105 miles for Hawaii-Japan) Adding to that the difference of language, I don't think Hawaiian player would start playing on the Japanese server.

MegaManYYZ1 votes

you're bouncing through less hubs from Hawaii to Japan than Hawaii to Chicago, which would make it faster still... the connection from Hawaii to Chicago would have to bounce through California and a couple of hubs before it even gets to Chicago slowing it down a lot more than a straight shot to Japan.

I must agree. My average ping is about 170 after the servers were changed.

To be honest, we are only a few gamers playing to League of Legend in tahiti, maybe 1k at least. But i think a new server located to hawaii would attract more and more players. Most of pacific's gamers want to play to League but due to high ping, they don't play for long and quit as they find another MOBA with less ping. Building up a hawaiian server would be such a great news for us.

Please RIOT make our dream come true. item 3751
