I'd be happy to host some inhouses in the future, but first, I think we need to actually see the interest, where it lies, and what servers are most appropriate. If it turns out we have 14 people from the whole forum, we can't have everyone on their best server, but if we have 24, maybe we can have a US inhouse and an EU one. It would also mean that if we are doing one, we can choose the most appropriate server.

If you are interested in inhouses, please answer the poll appropriately so I, and other people know when/where/how good inhouses can be made!

Would be wonderful if we could get the people, but we can't really assure that either way, that's the reason for the thread, why I'm trying to see how many people we have, in different regions, that would be interested in playing inhouses; we need to check numbers, first.

There might be no point organising a US specific one, for example, if only 8 are interested, but if the EU only gets 5 too, then you can pool the two.

This thread's perfect, too, since you'll only see it if you look in the forum, just like any other inhouse. If everyone who's interested answers, we should have an almost perfect number count.

For some people the server isn't an issue. I have played in the SEA, RUS, EU and obviously US and never had any problems. My interwebs might be a little faster than average, so I don't know what to make of that. Plus I have a BA computer I built. I think anyone who can US east should be able to do a EU server well enough. But, I'm also not sure as Dota crashes hard every once in a while when the player population gets higher than average

lol at 2 votes also. I initially thought that it was interesting to see an even split among EU and US East.

I would guess we would choose a server that is the closest for the most amount of people. Probably not an exact science but I agree that people should be willing to play on a server with a little worse ping rather than just the server they get the best ping on.

Completely agree with Mowen. It could however be a problem when teams are assigned and all of a sudden someone has a ping thru the roof. I see that being the only complication. Random bad connections really.

Australian: Recently found that US East yields best ping for me. Damn ISP routing fail.

Yeah, with a certainty.

It's looking like we will have to combine all servers at the moment, not a huge response to the pool looks like the server thing will be something that will, for a certainty, have to be discussed.

If people are comfortable with going on a server not close to them, then I see no reason why not!

This shouldn't happen to that much of a degree. I'm sure, for example, if an American is on EU servers, they won't get more than 150. It's bad, of course, but it's not 'through the roof'.



It must be made a point that people with bad pings do get assigned to opposite teams though, just in case... It would seem unfair to have the good ping players vs bad ping players
