I agree and i know its an mmo but thats not the issue,the only reason why rented servers wouldnt work is the human factor,and by that i mean the data could be compromised.
If CCP had servers in every country and you could rent them,the game would have less lag, dont you agree?

You can have servers in each country and still play with people from the other side of the world,but it shares the load and reduces the lag...
The reason you find it bearable is because you're american. The world is not just america!
Many years from now when youre playing with no lag thanks to this system i'm describing,you'll all feel very dumb..lol
I give up...lol
You're all right and i'm wrong...

Sorry, that's not possible. All realtime interaction during a battle has to happen in the same process. Even if you'd find a way to share the load between servers on different physical locations, the data would still have to travel between the locations and you'd gain nothing other than to increase latency for everybody.

Also I'm not American, I'm living much closer to you than you might think. This is not a threat.

I'll try to address your various points individually, because you are kind of jumping around between different issues.

1) Technology will improve, but we cannot solve the fundamental problem that it takes time for data to travel around the world. This will be solved through faster connectivity, better servers are irrelevant for this problem.

2) If you experience lag against corps from other regions then this is either because you are playing in their region (a problem that more servers cannot solve) or what you experience is actually them lagging because they are playing in your region (again, not a problem multiple servers can solve).

3) It's not about the time it takes for processors to calculate. As long as servers are fast enough to handle requests at a respectable tick rate, adding additional server resources won't do anything to improve lag.

4) Whether you have fibre optics or not makes no difference, because this only affects the speed of data between your computer and your nearest host. When data has to travel across the globe, it will have to travel through many hosts and it will still be delayed significantly. Your personal connection has no affect on that at all. Again, right now it is physically impossible to play a realtime game with people across the globe, without some significant latency. Only improving the state of internet connectivity around the world is going to make a difference with this. Aside from that, the only thing games can do is to hide the effects of lag as much as possible or only put you up against local players.

If CCP servers could not handle the bandwidth or processing requirements for the game, then this would indeed be a problem that can be fixed by throwing more physical hardware at it. But there is no indication that this is actually the case.

Youre saying stuff i said earlier and the way a server is set and the way a game is programmed does affect lattency...

This went from me laughing at IWS trolling to me not wanting to live on this earth anymore.

this is a strangely coherent dust u player. well done.

I'm sorry to disappoint Sky, we just can't all be as smart as you are. *

You still don't get it.

Battlefield has over 100k different games each a fragment away from each other with no relation whatsoever.

Dust 514 EVERY FIGHT is non-instanced. Its physically occurring somewhere in New Eden at a certain specific location every time. I can fly to a planet in Eve look at it and can tell if there is a fight actively going on the ground or not.

Then can I clarify that you're basically admitting that the programming is shoddy Iron Wolf? You're admitting that that's where the problem lies and that it's not necessarily the data transfer that's the problem, it's the size of the packets of data being transferred that are too large, too complicated and not sufficiently streamlined, ergo the programming is shoddy? Is that what you're saying? That's interesting.

Oh and by the way, nothing is physically occurring anywhere, it's virtually occurring somewhere...It would be crazy if it were physically occurring somewhere... a Matrix level of crazy!!! hehe
