Choose by route, not by map distance
Latency follows the path traffic actually takes, not the straight line on a map. Two cities a similar distance away can differ by 20 milliseconds because one has a direct route and the other is handed between networks on the way. This is why we use multihomed transit at every site, and why the sensible approach is to test rather than assume. Ping the locations you are considering, ask a few players in different regions to do the same, and pick the one with the best worst-case result.
Ask two or three players in different parts of your community to compare locations. Their results matter more than yours.
Place the server nearest the largest group of regular players rather than splitting the difference between everyone.
A location that is decent for most players and terrible for a few is usually worse than one that is merely good for all.
Locations can be changed later, so pick the obvious candidate now rather than delaying a launch over a few milliseconds.
How much latency actually matters per game
Different games have very different tolerances. Competitive shooters are the strictest, where anything under about 50 milliseconds feels clean and the difference between 30 and 80 is noticeable in a duel. Survival and sandbox games are far more forgiving, and players routinely enjoy servers at 100 milliseconds or more without complaint. Simulation-heavy games care more about the server keeping its tick rate under load than about network latency at all. Match the location to the game you are running and the audience you actually have.
The same specification in all 18 locations
Choosing a location is a decision about geography and nothing else. All 18 sites run the same class of hardware: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 or equivalent processors, DDR5 memory, NVMe storage and a 10 Gbps network. DDoS protection is included everywhere rather than being reserved for the larger regions, and automatic backups work identically wherever the server sits. Provisioning is the same too, so a server in Singapore or Brasília is online about 60 seconds after checkout, exactly as one in London would be.
