According to stats at steampowered.com, L4D2 has now 10268 people playing this game. According to 3rd party site, around 440 players of those are on the UK servers (and in the uk alone, there are 650+ servers total) so there's a lot of competition from the players in that area. I'm pretty sure the system works pretty much better than before. No more random assigns with random servers on high ping.
I used to get a lot of times an american based server with the search whilst playing with random people, even through all of us were from europe. I've also seen US players getting assigned to our servers from some odd reason in the past. If this doesn't happen anymore, i'm just happy. -ics 15.4.2010 20:48, Mike Olsen kirjoitti: > nope, opposite is true for us, we host out of phoenix, az > > On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 10:24 AM, Richard Green<rikgr...@ntlworld.com>wrote: > > >> We've noticed a huge drop off in traffic on our 5 * l4d2 servers since the >> master server move, checked sv_region and restarted the servers and >> confirmed new master servers address's.
