HempMS runs in Europe. Playing from Asia or Oceania usually means a high and unstable ping, because your connection has to travel all the way there over the regular internet. To help with that, HempMS has an Asia Server in Singapore.

What it does

The Asia Server is a relay, not a separate game world. Your game connection goes to Singapore first, which is close to you, and from there it travels to the game server in Europe over a fast, stable data-center route instead of your home internet.

• Same world, same players. You play on the exact same server, with the same characters, economy and friends - only the route your connection takes changes.
• More stable ping. Fewer spikes and less lag from the long trip across the regular internet.
• No extra download or client. It works with your normal HempMS client and launcher.

How to turn it on

1. Log in as usual and type @asiaroute on in the chat.
2. Log out and log back in. The change only takes effect from your next login.
3. That's it - you are now connected through Singapore.

The setting is saved on your Login ID, so it stays on for all your characters and every future login until you turn it off again.

How to turn it off

Type @asiaroute off and log out and back in. You are back on the direct connection to Europe. Type @asiaroute on its own to check your current setting.

Should I use it?

Still lagging or having trouble logging in with the Asia Server on? Turn it off with @asiaroute off, log in again, and let the staff know on Discord.
