The 1 gbit port was not for helping with an attack but because we will use over 100mbit/sec at launch and for sieges/masspvp. Granted the 1gbit port gives a little more freedom on a very small attack but I would never get a 1gbps port because of that as it would be a waste. We are now on a actual ddos protected network that specializes in mitigation. So hopefully that will not be a issue.
Yes there will always be people that lag but it won't be due to any bandwith limitation and our line being saturated. it will be because of routing/latency caused by location and their ISP routing or possibly even routing on our end but we do have the ability to work with the DC on our BGMix.
I agree with you completely, we will not. But I would rather have too much than not enough :)
Thanks ;D
I will not be offering any alternate proxy routing for live. It includes massive research and testing to get the right spot for the majority and I won't have time.
If people have any latency issues I would suggest the "Leatrix Fix", battleping, or wtfast. Leatrix is free so try it first (not a proxy) the others are paid (prox). All 3 can do the job depending on the cause of latency.
