Public servers are horrible. Imagine getting spawned on a public server with a revival time of 20-30 seconds on a map like wipa.
Yet you play on public servers with me almost everyday, and love the map wipa, because you camp and kill every single person you can on that map.
Matching is the only good thing on this game
I personally think it's a good thing, but not the only good thing in this game. Having fun in pubs also helps me enjoy this game.
Also, match servers shouldn;t be password protected
Umm... yes they should. Because would you want your match to be invaded by a bunch of other players? I certainly wouldn't. And I'd think alot of other regular matches wouldn't like that either.

PB2 is a Euro game. I bet 70% of public server players are in Europe.
Internet access from the U.S. to Europe has gotten worse. Pings to Germany often are over 150. It's tough to play in Europe now because the popular sites are laggy 24-to-32-player mega servers.
I set up 16-player Speed Europa and Public Europa in England hoping to attract both U.S. and Euro players. Both are little used, and I plan to close them.
I've moved my U. S. servers from New York towards the center of the country to attract more West Coast players. We are having some great games late at night now on Speed USA. All are welcome!
I've noticed, thanks! (I'm from West Coast myself) My pings lower
But, yes, you're right, this game is played by alot more Europeans than any other country, even Americans.
And I have noticed more lag on Euro servers on other players, my ping stayed the same.
And while your servers were in New York, Bill, my ping went really high (120-130 range) and I lagged there more than on Crack or OTB or Arctic servers.
I appreciate the move though, it has helped me.
Now, I will stop going off topic, sorry xRichardx.
