Question: Have I been banned? Options

[Not Sure]

Hello there;

I have really enjoyed the Chivalry server. I have been playing on it for some weeks. I usually have ping in the range of 150-200 though. It is usually around 180, maybe 188 or 192. I was just wondering if I have been banned as I have been unable to connect recently. SM Frostburn kicked me for high ping and I have been unable to join since. Is having a high ping really that disruptive? My ping is usually around 180. I also do the reconnect option if I have high packet loss or high ping to try and fix things.

It is unfortunate that the US servers are becoming deserted, we're seeing a lot more players from the states joining us in Europe with bad pings.

The decision is justified in that we try and maintain a level of playability for the majority of the server, especially given the gamecode is running well past its limits at 64 players (but we like the battles at this amount!) whilst the server can handle some high pingers, as more join it increases the frame processing time on the server, which makes everyone's pings go up. The discernible effect of a large amount of high pingers on the server is it makes people warp a bit more. In a game based on reactions and timing this can be pretty bad.

The rules of the server state that anyone with a ping regularly above 180ms can be kicked. In the case of that person returning repeatedly with the same ping would be banned.

It's nothing personal, as mentioned we just need to ensure the majority of players on the server get the best gameplay they can.

Your IP looks like a western (Colorado?) type range, you could probably get better pings on East/Central/Western servers rather than in the UK and Europe
