Server discriminating based upon ethnicity.

[malau 11]

This is not a vanilla server, and I can't find out the server provider. but associating Bohemia products with geographical targeting based upon race (It says "players from China", not "Chinese IP addresses") impugns upon it's good name.

The server is called "D A R K [LRP]" (followed by the mod names), it's IP is 198.55.118.73:2402.

Since when did the Chinese become a race? Plus, if they don't want any Chinese on their server, why should that be a problem, it's their server after all. People need to stop taking offense from everything and everyone nowadays, grow a pair and take stuff like a pro.

198.55.118.73 = United States :  Texas :  Dallas

IP location finder (there are plenty) here's one :

.. research it from there.. D A R K  have a message on Steam, :
<< D A R K [LRP] =- New Server | Fully Optimized | REALISM REIGNS. >>

Normal people are tired of messages at every corner about discrimination. Do not like it - do not play.

The Han Chinese, Hanzu, Han people.  Chinese: 漢人; pinyin: Hànrén; literally: 'Han people' or 漢族, "Han ethnicity" or "Han ethnic group", are an East Asian ethnic group and nation native to China.They constitute the world's largest ethnic group, making up about 18% of the global population. The estimated 1.3 billion Han Chinese people are mostly concentrated in mainland China (about 92% of the total population) and in Taiwan (about 95% of that population). The Han Chinese people trace a common ancestry to the Huaxia, a name for the initial confederation of agricultural tribes living along the Yellow River. The term Huaxia represents the collective neolithic confederation of agricultural tribes Hua and Xia who settled along the Central Plains around the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in northern China. The two tribes were the ancestors of the modern Han Chinese people that gave birth to Chinese civilization.

So the answer to your "since when?"  is ROUGHLY around 12,000 years ago.

- glad to be of service.

I'm just going to lock this before going to bed, as it is going to turn sour real soon in my experience. @ImpulZ can maybe answer the OP.

The server forum area is not the place for discussing race though, I do know that.

In this specific context it's most likely not about race or ethnicity, but about the location difference and the resulting Ping issues. It is very badly phrased in this kick message, but yes, server owners have the right to restrict access to their servers by password, banlist, whitelist or other means as they like. In this case we assume it's a filter by IP.

We recommend to just join a different server, we hope that the newly released Chinese localisation will also create Asian servers that provide less connection issues to its players.
