As mentioned before. Since the change to US there is no longer any point in playing surf on zarp. You are being held back by high ping and playing technincal maps is no longer an option.
And there is no point in saying: "We want more players" because there are none. Its been a few days now since the new update and so far only about 30% of players I've seen have been playing from US. Which doesn't mean that those 30% are new players. Zarp always had US players but the EU players are and always were in the majority.
When given the choice between playing on a more shitty server in regards to features or playing on a server with 200+ ping, there is no point in playing on the 200 ping server unless it is a server like ksf, which zarp surf is quite far away from being.
