I never seem to be able to play you fine folk in this build.
Maybe the leader boards should reflect this since we are not going up against each other enough.
The best in the E. u may not be the same as the best in asia |

Not necessarily. Although there is only one "world server", matchmade games happen on different battle servers (see here) so it's quite possible for different groups of players to never see each other. |

It all depends on who is the squad leader of a squad going into a game. If the SL is EU, then the server will be EU and vice versa for US. And yes, it's been tested by my clan. |

This is correct and it sucks because half my clan mates are american. If you are in EU the US servers suck and I'm sure vice versa....... That's some small universe..... Guess just another reason this game wont be too popular with the larger clans / corp.  |

Personally I don't even understand why they sharded it. Eve isn't and it still functions fine.
I know this game needs the best ping it can due to it being a FPS, but before this build I played nothing but US servers and never had any issues on the whole.
Due to my play times I'd log in and there'd be very few EU players online, so I'd join the US. Quite missing the guys I used to play with and fight against tbh.
The ping difference never bothered me, sure it lagged but the game lags anyway even on the EU servers |

Eve is much less latency sensitive than Dust. The closest thing you could get would be gate camping in a sensor boosted interceptor and trying to catch a nano frig; in Eve that is essentially pure luck due to the latency.
There's nothing wrong with sharding combat, as long as all other interactions happen on the single "server".
I suspect somewhere in the future of Eve/Dust are "follow the sun" server farms; latency sensitive "combat grid" nodes would be run from the data centre closest to where most of the active players are; when the sun moves on, the next data centre takes over the combat grid nodes, and the previous data centre picks up non-latency sensitive tasks such as market nodes.

Yes the servers are sharded into 4 europe, asia, america, and eve which has been broken down into nodes to numerous to count. Ccp has done this to cut back on ping by bringing the server closer to your home if ur in america natualy ur best connection is on us server same as eu on eu and so on. But in the end all these shards are connected making it literally one big super shard so to speak as we have seen in past builds where the battle finder allowed america asia and europe to play togeathe. This still holds true but curretly were forced to use the instant battl finder which is programed to find us multiple open battles test are ping with them and send us to the best one which naturally would be on are home server. If u were to get some eu members in ur squad the instant battle finder will eather test the ping of the leader and send everyone to his best match or test everyones ping and send them to the best common match as for which i dont know what its programmed for |

If you only play instant battle by yourself then you will only be playing with people near you (to reduce lag). Try playing with squads and with corps and you will see a lot more new faces and gamer tags. |
