* Some names of cities are absent or replaced by names of near districts. It happens because their ip addresses aren't assigned to cities in geoip-database.

Why on this map Greenland bigger than Africa ?
From WiKi:
AFRICA = 30.2 million km2
GREENLAND = 2,1 million km2
15 times bigger! THIS IS FAKE WORLD MAP
Wish there were some servers in central/north africa along the west coast, a server in between Europe and South Africa would be epic, could easily get ~75 ping each way.
On that point, our big cable that heads to europe should land in Portugal, but I ping better to the UK or Holland, wtf. If it landed in Portugal I might ping 120, which is not great, but is probably playable.
i'd say that you are wrong, i live in North Africa, my ping to South Africa is 350 which is the same as to Australia, my ping in usa is half the ping i get in South Africa.
Africa is way bigger than you think, those maps dont show the real size of our continent :/
I ping 150 to london right now. There is a direct line up the west coast. Anything placed on that line should have a fairly decent ping. Most likely from Tunisia you probably first need to get to Europe and then down to South Africa, which is why the ping is so high, it's not the distance though, rather the lack of cables.
You are right, my bad :) but again, my ping in europe is 60 - 90 ( depends on the location ) but thats pretty much what most North African countries ping to europe ( seen ppl from Algeria and Egypt, they ping worse than i do )
I blame lack of cables, bad ISPs and unfortunate place to be born in lol
How much do you ping in a Central African server ?
Terrible, pretty much anywhere in africa apart from Southern Africa. I assume that places like Ghana and Senegal just don't have the infrastructure. Unfortunately I know of no one in these countries that play games that could look into finding out which ISP or server center connects to the WACS cable.
As I mentioned though I find it odd that I ping better to the UK than to Portugal, so I think there might be other barriers at play. I.E. The countries up the west coast don't connect to WACS at all, and the line just goes straight to the UK. Or the switchboard is in the UK (Or SA), meaning anyone connecting on this route has to go through London or Cape Town. This is a list of countries I've pinged:
50ms windhoek, Namibia
297ms Luanda, Angola
294ms Pointe-Noire, Congo
406ms Sao Tome
312ms Libreville
250ms Lagos, Nigeria
280ms Praia, Cape Verde
210ms Las Palmas, Canary Islands
202ms Casablanca, Morocco
203ms Chipiona, Spain
201ms Lisbon, Portugal
164ms Rennes, France
157ms Eastbourne, UK
152ms London, UK
As you can see, ping gets lower the closer the countries get to London. This shows me everything from SA connects to Europe through London, which sucks! If we had a direct connection to Portugal or Spain we would ping 50ms less.
Quake-like games were never particularly popular in Asia; reportedly Q3 was even banned in China back in 2004, although we can see a few QL servers there now, provided their geolocation is correct.
yeah I knew about China, supposedly they have banned all sorts of shooter games. I also heard they play their own copycat shooters. and if that is true than they are banning shooters not for violence reasons.
that's fucking cool dude! i still love it that there just happen to be four servers right in my little hometown of Ann Arbor, MI. which leads to my next point: come get at me IRL you troll fuckers!
I guess we have to say thanks to SyncError and the likes for killing the French QL community. It was the first country of europe in terms of numbers of players in 2008-2009. Now there is barely any servers and they are all in Paris.
Holy moly United States is so hardcore!
Is it really so many players in there? Because I-heard-from-a-bud-net reports that the scene is dwindling across the pond. And just like every gossip, it's probably bullshit but I just wanted to ask anyway.
Canada has so little servers, lol. Guess the US won that one. Canada won't be annexed for its servers, that's for sure.
Mexico, Colombia and other Middle American countries have zero servers, no wonder. Back there you go out on the street and you're already in the middle of hardcore TDM/FFA. Same goes from Africa where in real life you can pick up powerups better than in QL - AIDS or EBOLA for example. Sadly they're lifelong pickups with infinite respawn.
Saudis hate QL too. Hard to play with all of this bobbing on camel's back.
Chinese dont play Quake. Or maybe they play a knockoff Queke Liew where you TOO CAN WIN! WINNER! THE GLORIOUS GAME ON THE INTERNET!
What about the Holy Land Downunder? 2 servers. All populated by kangaroos, probably CPM-ers.
India has one! What the hell? They have internet down there?
Greenland and Iceland have none :( Granted, there's only 4 people there but what if they want to play?
Russia has some servers in areas where Putin travels frequently so he can get an alt account and pwn anonymously then pretend he's Misza from Nowosybirsk.
