Most Aussies i knew played on West over East since they got better latency.If latency is improved there is nothing stopping myself or others moving to East.

Hey, so I love US East. Been there since it was created. But to your point, I don't think it'd be wise to split the community apart into different servers. If possible, we should definitely be looking to centralize people onto fish + one other server imo. At this point in time, I think we can expect a slight boom in player count, but I'm not optimistic enough to say it will be active enough to populate across 5+ servers again.

I kind of agree here. When iCCup isn't even able to keep above 300 users on the regular, I don't see how having all the servers will benefit anything again.

Revive Clan X17 anyone?

I've been talking to scy since and i think were going to revive x17 as a competitive clan this time. Only good high caliber players will be able to join not like how it was at the end of x17 when most newbs joined. Depends tho if the game will be crowded and if its gonna stay active.

so op x17 on both fish/USEAST will probably be a thing yes.

Ok so "clan x17" is alive again.

I hope they combine US East and West at least. One big foreigner server would be perfect for newer players.

It's very difficult to play UMS on Fish as a nonkorean, because downloading maps takes longer and you usually get kicked, plus maps are all in Korean. I don't see most foreigners going to Fish - only higher ranked 1v1 players.

I hope so as well. Centralization of player base is a big deal, and they could always add another gateway if the response is crazy. I.E. NA, EU, KR(Fish)

Wait so ICCup is gonna run 1.18? From what I read I just assumed that it wasn't getting updated, if it is then that's great news!

ICCup has a good chat channel system, i think everyone can pretty much figure out that Ladder D-C and Ladder 2x2 are the main channels, i'll add those to the list.

well, i wanted to wait with any announcement until i had something meaningful to say. But okay. It's a work in progress and at this point it can not be guarenteed we will be able to provide 1.18 soon, but we intend to so.

Curently, we are looking for coders, who are up to the task. And it's a challenging task for sure, since the code structure of server and launcher is pretty old. There will be support by the official tech department though (they usually work on the DOTA server).

Anyone interested may contact me via PM or skpe. There will be no official announce until i can provide more viable information though.

I'm completely new to BW and I've just downloaded the PTR. The only channel that seems to have anyone in it is Brood War USA-2 (not sure why it takes me there as I'm in the UK, but anyway). How do I get to the chat channels in the OP?

Also, where is the best place in-game to find other complete noobs to play?

The bnet servers are not up yet, this is just a test server so none of these channels exist yet.

They should within a couple days if all goes to plan.

you can still join chat channels on PTR, /join (enter channel name).

that being said they're all gonna be empty cus its the PTR, everyone is on brood war usa-1 / 2 / 3 etc.

best way to find a game is to spam for low level games on brood war usa-1 i suppose, or host a game saying 1v1 noobs only.
