Have more servers across the world

The majority of active players pings are low, I believe this is because the quality of the server on a lower ping is far greater and easier to enjoy than having a high ping, therefore the people who live close to the servers and have good ping stay.
For example: Someone on 20 ping will enjoy the features of the game infinitely more than me, as I live in Australia, with a good WiFi connection, but the best ping I can get on the server is 220.

Pros: More active players, more long-term players, more player referrals, higher quality of server, more revenue, and so on...

Cons: Additional cost, maybe slightly more management

It would be beneficial for both the players and the staff to have multiple servers across the world, for obvious reasons.

I know it seems minor, but it makes a huge difference to the enjoyment of the server, and if its not too hard/expensive to get more servers around the world, I don't see why PotterWorld wouldn't expand. Besides, I think the server/droobles would get a good return on investment on it.

I believe this was suggested & declined before (found it https://potterworldmc.com/threads/european-potterworld.11527/)
Basically their reasoning is that majority of the playerbase is American (which is debatable). Basically read my last comment on that thread. I wish I knew what they had to say about that.
Exactly, I mean... yeah the playerbase is American but as you said it may only be that way because Americans are the only players who can enjoy the server without an insane amount of lag, so many other servers (even ones smaller than pw) run international servers that I've never had a problem with ping on... So, I still think they should look into it atleast because it would definitely expand their playerbase.

Hello @YBNBaseball

While we recognize that this would be great for people's latency, unfortunately, will not be pursuing it. This is because it would split our community and require extra moderation.

Nevertheless, thank you for your suggestion. I hope you have a good rest of your day/night!
