Change regions?

    Hi all.
    Just a question regarding changing regions in xbox.
    Is it possible that if I change my location settings from the UK to the US that I would have a higher probability on joining US servers or are they just determined on your ping rather than location?

    I only ask because I'm a bit of a late night gamer and it often feels like me and my crew are sailing around in empty servers, I assume that this is because its getting late in the UK.
    I just wondered if I could do this in hope of maybe joining a US server with more life.

    Thanks in advance

    The server region you join is dependent on your IP address location, thus changing your region would have no effect. you could use a VPN Service to connect to different server regions or just join on a friend that is playing on a US or so server
