What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Upgrading the server to the same specs as the US server would greatly improve the lag situation on uk (sits on 5tps for 8 hours during peak)

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I'm not sure , i haven't searched through all the suggestions but it probably has

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
1. It would help greatly with the lag , the situation on uk makes combat almost impossible because the tps is that low , i have heard of many people just hopping off because the lag is that bad
2.It might actually improve the amount of donations the server gets , personally i would splash out on the server if it was actually playable but it isn't really worth doing if i can't play because of the lag

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
1. Cost , I know server hosting is expensive but for a server that pulls max pop for up to 4 hours a day it is definitely worth it , the server would still be profitable , even with the costlier hosting
2. Transition/Availability , I know from experience that transitioning from one host to another can be hard and may even result in data loss in some cases although i think most players would still agree that it is worth it to fix the lag , there is also the issue of availability , a server may not be available with such specifications that is also located in the UK , although im pretty sure there is

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Overall , the laggy mess that is the UK server needs to be fixed , this issue far outweighs the cost implications , ive always viewed CN as a community that cares about its players , but some of those players might be driven away by the lag.

Hello! We appreciate the suggestion and we can assure you that this is something that we're currently looking into. We are waiting for the host to finish the new UK location and once that is complete within the next 2 months, we'll be able to upgrade the CPU. After the upgrade, the UK server will have the same performance as the US.

In the meantime, we'll do our best to monitor and attempt to reduce any amount of lag.
