European servers

As someone living in England but on on the American servers, I don't deal with many Europeans however there are still quite a few of us here(used to be a unofficial EU server before designations).

However almost all Europeans I meet here have almost zero problems with lag, on the other hand the Americans with their terrible isps tend to have large problems, especially those in the southwest(presumably because they have a huge distance like us but with terrible isps).
I know more Europeans with great connections to the servers than i do Americans despite being on a American dominated server (even some Canadians have problems despite almost sitting on the servers.

Due to the larger amount of American players and their problems, it would probably be far more cost effective to give them a second server location.

Oh. It's this thread again.
People blame the servers instead of their own connection or their own inability to play to the standard that each instance requires.
There is no problem with connecting from Europe to the servers in Montreal. Each time it has been brought up it has been shot down as a null issue. 100-200ms Latency is not a problem. Do I have to get my TraceRT screenshot out again?

Servers being in Canada isn't the problem. The problem is either internet/routing/players unwilling to admit they can't do the fight.

I played on Mandragora server and beaten all primals - gotten all primal weapons using DF.
I live in the US, JP servers are 6000 MILES from me.

This game is designed to be playable no matter where you live. It's hard to believe it but even if you play with 400-500ms the game is still playable without the lag feeling you get with same latency on other games. For example I played many mmo's and in the most of them having 200ms is too much and you need around 100ms to play normal. In this game this does not apply. I don't know why but it's there. I play from Greece and never had any problem to dodge anything except from some specific days that the problem occurs due to high traffic between my pc and the servers and this is normal and happens to all games. I had no problem to dodge attacks since the tweaks they made back in patch 2.1 if I remember correct it's way better now. The biggest problem is people who don't know when and how to dodge thus blaming the lag. And it's true it's mostly an ISP problem. For example even though Americans located nearer to servers they have the most problems. But I would like to see the EU data center located in Europe.

SWTOR has servers physically located in us west coast and us east coast eu servers are located in Ireland.

WOW has us servers located in New York Chicago Phoenix and Los Angeles. EU servers are located in Frankfurt Germany, Paris France, Stockholm Sweden and Russia

ESO has servers physically located in North America and Frankfurt Germany

Guild wars 2 us servers are located in Austin, TX and eu servers are in Frankfurt Germany

Wildstar servers are Dallas for NA and Frankfurt/Germany for EU.

League of Legends has Brazil servers in Miami FL, Europe Nordic & East in Frankfurt Germany, Europe West in Frankfurt Germany, Latin America North in Miami FL, Latin America South in Santiago Chile, North America in Los Angeles CA and Oceanic in Sydney Australia.

What does FFARR get??? Canada for NA and EU.

All people are asking for is the same type of service ALOT of other pay to play MMOs are offering their customers.

This discussion will always remain...

The real question is though:

When will they actually implement Real EU servers? They said they would if the demand for it was high, Ive seen too many threads about this already..

European players take the back seat in SE games.

I also live in the EU and noticed this issue, what is more interesting though, is that the NA servers are actually soooooo much better connection wise.(despite them being in the same place to my knowledge.) if its really that bad u could try convincing your FC to transfer

loooooooool at people defending SE.

Please. Please show me ONE online game that gives service to Europe, without a Europe server.

The game is playable, so what? Why should X players have a big advantage over Y players? Even if it's still playable, an unfair game is not a fun game.

People here will defend anything loool

@SE don't have the money to host an EU server - LOL

You could try not connecting to the game with your toaster that might help a bit.
