room creation system(AMERICA AND SERVER REGION)

IN ANY OCCASION THIS IDEA WAS RAISED.

We had 3 different server access models so far:

The “Patriotic” server selection:
From 2005 to 2009 we had servers dedicated to several countries, only distinguished by name (**almost) not by technical (geoip) restrictions. Open to everyone but 'kind of' sorted into regions.
This was the most successful model, warrock was in its prime time.

The- split- a-small-community- into-even- smaller-pieces model:
2009-2012 real region servers, access to servers was restricted by geo-ip
This one dried out all the small regions as players there were home-alone way too often.

Completely open model:
05/2012+ servers are open to everyone

Open models let CQC players suffer from hard lagging players resulting in a non-competitive environment – as they have absolutely no control of poorly connected players joining their room, while BG players have less chances to enjoy full rooms.
Restricted region servers make CQC players a bit happier and kill the BG channel outside of the big local communities like Turkey, Germany, Italy and so on.

The best method to solve this situation would be a working ping control feature. But from a technical point of view that’s difficult due to the peer2peer nature of the game – it doesn’t make much sense to ask dream execution for a new and working implementation of it. 

Lets combine both models and meet halfway:

The roommaster is able to set a region of choice or leave it at All (default).

CQC Players can have their local rooms, BG players their open.
That gives the control back to the players and should improve everybodys gaming experience while it does not discriminate smaller regions.

I assume game accounts are tagged with a region already (if not – that shouldn’t be a great deal), adding this room limitation option might be possible without too complex code updates.

How the lobby could look like (maybe country flags make it more intuitive):

I'd suggest rather to select region per region instead of "ONLY X region" or "All except X region", so you can for example play with Italy+Germany+France but not Turkey+US

    TO HAVE PHYSICALLY LOCATED 2 SERVERS ONE IN AMERICA UNITED STATES AND THE OTHER IN EUROPE. AND TO RAISE THE SYSTEM OF CREATION OF ROOM WITH REGION. AS OTHER GAMES DO AS THE COMBAT ARMS RELOADED where you can create a room with a certain region, either America or Europe can be implemented in Warrock if Papaya Play has servers and resources to use the American server for other games.

    A working ping limit would be awesome.
    An option to single out other players just because they live in a certain country is senseless regarding the number of players left. An "all except turkey"-option  just like any other "xyztians are stupid"-option not even worth to be considered.

    Almost no players on the server and several servers are insane. 

    It is better to do this as before ROOM PING LIMIT

    A ping limit for rooms would be fine indeed.
