wakka102 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 what does it mean when a server is located in a certain place? I've never understood that. My game works fine on all of them and I very rarely experience any lag. So, what is it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AznElliot518 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 The server location is where the company is located that lets Jagex use the server. For example AboveNet (AB) is located in San Jose, California and UnitedLayer is located in San Fran. If you play far away from where the server is located at, there will be latency, it takes a while for electronic stuffs to travel far distances so its better to play at a server closer to you. Good day sir, how may I help you?Id like to access my bank account please.Certainly sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodAngel Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 No I never get lag either and I usually use either the servers in Canada or Australia and I live in England. -Bloodangel "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."

I know but I don't use American servers very often, and my pc doesn't work in crowded ones which is why I use Canadian or Australian servers. If you are still fishing today I will come and join you. -Bloodangel "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
