Ragnarok: Only EU?

http://www.physicalgeography.net/fun...orld_time2.gif

Between our EU night and mornings server will be low populated. What about a mix of NA and EU? when NA is playing EU is sleeping/studying/working, and when NA is sleeping/studying/working, EU is playing... So what about NA comming here too?

South America is comming too because they talk spanish/english and they sympathize much more with EU than Asia.

comments?

it's EU recommended, not only EU. NA and JAP are more than welcome, so Ragnarok can turn into a good inter serveur.

I'm concerned about this too. The EU server will be in a pilot phase during March. And if the population of the server based on SE's predictions and estimates does not match up, they may break down the EU server and offer a chance to transfer to the other 9 servers.

I think its rare that anyone wants exclusively an EU server. We're an EU/NS LS and aren't moving there for that reason. The point of the Final Fantasy series is to interact with people all over the world. We want to play with Americans as well as our GMT friends, French friends, German friends, etc.

To me there is no reason to have one server be called the "EU server". We've been an EU LS since beta and have never broken or had a problem with (EU) numbers. People want to meet others from all over the world. If people want to want an EU server can I demand Balmung (where Fabul is going) be called the EU/NA server?

i think a better option is to open free migrations to ragnaro if that happens, always someone want to change server coz feels alone or out of community.

I hate to say this, but the server is gonna fail hard.

If this was done at 2.0 itd be a real good idea, itd give people an option to start fresh as a bunch of new players came in, but alot of people now already have connections and dont want to be seperated from them

Sure some people will go, but not enough to support a real server i dont think.

but u are wrong, probably french and german move Ragnarok (not all but lots) Spanish people probably move too (we were in Ragnarok server in FFXI so feels like.. nostalgic ^^) Anyway, i was not asking people to come ragnarok if you are EU, i know we will be enough probably, i was saying if is not a waste of resources to have around 12 hours a server low populated, NA could fill that timezone easily.

Yeah, I got what you are saying but none of that changes my point. A mix is always better - its why people (in part) play the Final fantasy series. To play with people from all over the world. The loss in resources will occur more so from people deeming it the EU server then anything else.

I think my point is fairly illustrated from so many people having trepidations on going to server 10 because of the bonds so many have made across the globe. Many are saying (across the boards) they don't want to go because of the bonds they have forged. As foxbat pointed out: This would be better for 2.0 to have a designated server. Give the stragglers in game now a choice of going to where they want to the many different EU LSes across the servers.

I still demand Balmung be called the NA/ EU server :P

PS: Love your character name. Fantastic books they were.

I'll miss JP people, i always liked to do thing with JP (that are not jp only minded) and i'll wait to see what other people want to do (i mean spanish community).

Also raistlin, i'm the only from South America that i said about moving there if people do, the others are from Mexico (north america :p)

But, like TheVedis says, if only people from EU come to this server, will fail so bad.

@Raistlin : Almost half of the french community isnt going to server 10 because they first settled in Selbina and fear about JP/NA not moving. With merging server 1 + 1, why would japanese and american move to server 10 ? They already have their community settled, and they're going to be half more than before on their new server. If you were JP or NA, would you sincerly like to move to a brand new server and start your community from scratch with no guarantee that your friends follow you up there?

Option 4 was good for european, and fit well with a server recommanded for european, but with option 2, its just a poisoned chalice.
