    Hello everyone!


    For people who don't know, we host all our servers on the East Coast of the North America. Pretty swell. Less so for our European players though, and there are a tonne of you guys!

    I myself live in the UK, and would have about 90ms ping to the GTM network.

    For you non-nerd, cool guys, this basically means that it takes 90 milliseconds for my information to go from me, to the network, and back again. The smaller this number is, the quicker and more responsive the network is for you. When the ping starts getting higher, you'll start experiencing lag as well. So the lower the better!

    So we added a new proxy in Europe. A lot of large networks do this, and you'll see them have different IPs to log in with (.com, or maybe .eu etc). We don't like this, it requires people to remember more stuff, and is generally not great.

    So instead, we've waved our magic dildo wand, and when connecting to the GTM network, we detect if you're from Europe. If you are, you automatically connect to the new proxy.

    For me, living in the UK, I get about 25ms ping to this proxy. That is a reduction of about 60% in ping!

    So for all our wonderful European players, enjoy the quicker connection times! In the upcoming days, we will be releasing 2 new major patches that should heavily reduce lag and latency for all players. Then with Halloween just around the corner, we have some spoopy content for all you guys.


    Thanks for playing on GTM!

    We look forward to growing the network with you guys.

    This was needed, but when will an anti-cheat be implemented? I'm tired of having to deal with hackers 24/7 in jetpacks/wingsuits stealing my hard earned crap lmao.

    We're actually testing a new anti-cheat on GTM2 at the moment. Once we're happy with it, we'll roll it across the entire network :)

    Obviously, means that we GTM2-ers are loved more. At least that's how I like to think of it anyways :p.

    Be patient, maybe eventually the staff team will wave their magic dildo wands for players from Australia (which would in theory benifit asian countries as well). ;)
