About dedicated European data center

They have never said it was coming with Heavensward... and it's too big of a change to not have mentioned by now.

All I heard, was there is going to be an EU dedicated server in the future. I expect that to be a long time ahead, and it could even just be something they are looking into, like others have said.

If you have problems with lag, use WTFast or something else that helps, because there is no point in waiting for this. The money sucks, but it's you're only option

Beyond lag issues, it's miserable being NA on an EU data center and trying to use DF in the evening. Started on EU for friends.. But ugh, it's really frustrating.

Because the majority on EU servers play during european prime time. You should have know this before joining an EU server, even if the server is physically in Canada.

Just notice that what they said was that they were investigating/asking how to move the whole Chaos (EU data center) to Europe. If they do that, there's no need for transfers, nor any loss of FCs or houses.

So if you're happy in a NA or JP server, you wouldn't have to move either, as for you it would still be the same experience as it's right now. But those of us on the EU servers would be able to play the game with a better ping and less connection issues.

As for the when, I don't expect it with Heavensward. They would have said something about it already.

You're going to have to have more patience op. Setting up data centers is not a trivial thing.

I didn't know how much of an issue it'd be coming in, but I was aware it'd likely hurt at end game. Took my time getting to 50 on battle classes, but the hope was being in a FC of friends would make up for it. It was a response to those saying they didn't realize NA/EU made much of a difference.

My hope set high , so no official news about it :(

SE are going to move chaos datacenter,which have all the servers marked as EU on europe,most probably london,and just to follow the topic,its been stated on a live letter or something cant remember where,that they were going to move chaos whit heavensward patch,this and the dx11 client,if you guys want, i can link the letter where they say this,also it would be nice if a developer could answer,clearing this point up,since they officially said it was coming whit heavensward patch

When i bought the game - this was at release - i joined a US server because the EU servers were down and i did not want to wait.

Facing an English speaking population was not something to worry about for me (I'm French but i work in an English-speaking environment) - and so was the NA vs US timezones distorsion.

But when it came to end game content i realized that 1. Most of the US population of the server was actually from the West Coast rather than East, hence more schedule issues than expected 2. My ping sucked too much.

I adressed point 1 by moving to "TrollMoogle" but i regret it as people here are really... wow. I'lI be happy if SE set data centers based in EU (for the ping) that might host a lot of NA/Canada players (for the behaviour) tho

i just hope a developer take a look at this thread,and give us some info,even negative one would be nice,i just want to know if we get chaos on europe in 3.0 or not.
