Multiplay, Europe’s largest gameserver provider, have announced their expansion to mainland Europe is now completed by bringing online a second point of presence in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Multiplay have extended their own network to Amsterdam, providing a lag-free highway back to their London based data centre where most of their gameservers are based.
“It’s a giant step forward for us” said Steven Hartland, Technical Director “we’ve wanted a physical presence in Europe for some time now. Our new site is packed with top of the range hardware and a lightning fast network. We have had major ISPs from all over Europe wanting to peer with us, which has been very encouraging. The more providers we peer with, the more gamers we can offer our fantastic connection to.”
New customers can now choose their location – London or Amsterdam – and have their server activated immediately, thanks to the new “instant setup” feature of Multiplay’s service. Clanservers are automatically created and enabled, giving the consumer a much smoother experience.
“We have always had good relations with many clans across Europe”, said Craig Fletcher, Managing Director “but the connectivity issue has been the concern for many of our overseas customers. With our new site this will all be a thing of the past. Extending our current network to Amsterdam also means that gamers in the UK will have a greatly improved experience on European servers, and vice versa. This is especially true for those on our gaming broadband service.”
Multiplay also offer gaming broadband in the UK which effectively plugs gamers straight into their network. Multiplay DSL customers can expect some of the lowest ping times to both the UK and Amsterdam servers.
