i notice that there are a lot more now showing with that same issue, mine included, i get my server from escaped turkey, he keeps saying that he uses premium internap connections (anyone?)... maybe this is part of teh issue.
teh servers not showing a flag have ip's starting with 70-79 or 208.

Mine is from ET too and it does show the flag the ip is 72.5.248.76:27960 so as someone said it must be related to the E+ ipdb and not the isp/game hosting provider cause on ASE and HLSW i can see Kee's server with american flag.

We are hosted on Dallas, and all Turkey servers are on Internap Network Services Corporation which is the network carrying the data, the physical data center and provider is Globalcon.net a partner of Internap, what ET does is just pay for some dedicated servers on some data centers and then they just resell the server space (we used to have a dedicated server running 7 E+ severs thanks to starless) , if I had more time I would rent a dedicated server again and organize with some of the American server owners to share the costs and host our game servers there, but unfortunately I'm quite busy lately, but anyways that¿s quite off topic.

We own the hardware in Texas -- which just got upgraded to 32 gigs of RAM. Globalcon provides the power and bandwidth -- which uses Internap.

Atlanta is a bust (not enough people interested in it to cover the cost of the location) and we are moving them back to Texas in the next day or two. Customers seem to prefer Texas Internap due to it's real-time routing and overall good ping to most locations.

The IP / Country issue is due to the database with the Spider most likely. It will have to be updated.

Hope this helps.
