Games ~ Quake Series ~ Quake Live

Adelaide Servers now online!

by noetix @ 6:44pm 3rd February

After a couple months of back & forth Internode now host a Quake Live server in Adelaide.

Our options are now:

  • Sydney (Hypernia)
  • Sydney #2 (Premium Gamer)
  • Perth (Hypernia)
  • Adelaide (Internode)

This should allow competitions to introduce a "fair latency" rule to the mix & spice things up on the western front.

Latency should be much better than the servers that Hypernia use to run, as Internode has direct routes to Perth. If your ISP routes via Sydney, you should contact your ISP & have them fix their routes.

Thanks to everyone that petitioned, especially Ventz for getting the guys at Internode involved.

    Definitely more playable than Perth servers.

    Should be good for the dool comps ;D

    Feels the same as Sydney servers for me. Barely any ping change. Hopefully more people will play Adelaide servers a lot. I don't want to see them like the Perth ones, unused and gathering dust.

      Yeah, they need to put up some CTF and more duel, they've got plenty of DM and apparently we love Insta because we have 3 servers dedicated to insta and none to CTF. lol.

        Looks like they got a lot more servers up. Looks good, yeah?

        • beckydee

          7:15pm 4th Feb

          yeah they put up about 5 more or something, 3 duels (in total), 2 proper ctfs and another ca I believe.

    Yeah, I've gone from 40-60 to 20s, although the lack of CTF has killed my enjoyment level.

    great.. did they even give notice that they were putting these up?

    • OP noetix

      12:25am 4th Feb

      Nope.

          12:32am 4th Feb

          haha, thats one way of taking the news

          • HANZ

            12:35am 4th Feb

            no, i am pleased that these are up, just not happy that they didn't say they were putting 'em up - and that is nothing to laugh about.

    Mines gone from 180 > 145, When net changes location again to syd, when i get 130 to sydney servers, i'm hoping to get 90/100 on adelaide servers. CTF servers are most needed tho.

    great, guess what we could do with a few nz servers now

    • wch

      8:49am 4th Feb

      Yeh... I used to get 30ms to NZ on those old Q3 freeze servers. Keen for NZ servers!

      • grrrdian

        11:47am 4th Feb

        reckon, i used to ping better to the nz servers than most nz'ers :-?

    • Raaagh

      11:48am 4th Feb

      En route I thought?

      • roffo

        12:06pm 4th Feb

        Apparently, at least until id told us they had to 'review their policies regarding servers'.

        • wch

          4:10pm 4th Feb

          A server provider needs to contact idsoftware... so if you know anyone, start annoying them so it gets done!

    The hypernia servers in Adelaide had better routes for Bigpond Cable (NSW).

    For these servers it goes: Bigpond (NSW) -> Bigpond (VIC) -> Bigpond (SA) -> Optus (SA) -> Internode (SA). This is giving a constant 40ms... nothing to complain about I guess, but not as good as the 30ms from the old Hypernia servers in Adelaide.

    Also... I guess this now makes QLD the new WA.

    Aus servers are pretty much unplayable for me right now, I think it's just our plan though. Changing to a business plan in the next day or two...

      No idea why it shows 99ms for our gateway. It's 1ms for ping...
