The login connects to Austin, Texas but your game itself plays from the data centers in Germany if you have a EU version of the game. There is a glitch where sometimes the game reports that login server as your site.

An answer from Gaile from a previous thread on this issue: in this thread

“Hey folks, no worries. There are several routes through which you go to access the game or the forums, and I’m told the forum sometimes throws an access IP from Texas, but that’s you… or us… or you talking with us on the forums. So it’s all good.”

That site maybe just shows where the owner of the IP is locates ? My Visual Route also shows Frankfurt.

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.

Sometimes its a nicer community. Higher percentage of English speakers also plays a part for me. I do not experience these lag issues.

No, NC Interactive is in Austin and that’s who “owns” that IP block and that’s their address. The EU game servers are located in Frankfort.

We are heroes. This is what we do!
