So, no roleplay server?

[Abriael]

What pray tell is 'spinning' about saying that "you got your answer, congrats?"

That an answer has not been provided, as that quote is a promise from 2012. Since a server list was provided yesterday, and no RP server was mentioned, and we're supposed to choose our destination server in mid june, we're asking for an update on the situation before we have to select a server.

And mind you, even if and when an answer will be provided, this thread will still be "relevant", as it'll serve the purpose to inform those that care about SE's intentions.

Oh, ok, so you just want the devs to rush along an answer they will be answering in due time no matter what. Mmkay.

I'm sure that while the majority of 1.x player base are using Beta 3 to demo the changes between 1.x and 2.0, they will be more than capable of patiently awaiting which specific servers are officially designated as RP. Sounds simple enough to me.

I believe asking questions to the devs and community team is within the primary purposes of this forum.

Mmkay?

You may want to talk for yourself instead for talking for the "majority", that you don't represent in any shape or form.

May also want to go back under your bridge, as you're obviously not interested in this topic and you're just trying to derail the thread out of your irrational desire to flame.

When do we have to decide which servers we want our characters to be on for full release?

well every server is a rp server

During Phase 3, apparently. World transfer requests will start "mid-June" (slightly after beta phase 3 starts?).

It would be most beneficial for SE to post if and which world will be designated RP before then. Likewise to post if/which "new world"(s) will be officially designated RP as well. (I'm going out on a limb to assume if the game does even moderately well at launch, we would see the number of new worlds double or triple from the initial Phase 3 list, and maybe even add a LEGACY server for this reason or that.)

Perhaps the reason the actual location s aren't being used is that would cause population imbalance and lower interest if their closest server was full, even though the gameplay difference would be negligible had they chosen another US server. Do we know the difference between the servers at any rate to segregate where people should play further?

All the NA/EU servers are in the same physical location, which looks to be Quebec (if The Dude is to be believed). As far as I can gather, that's some strange Canadian version of New York, which is in itself a strange, American version of York, which is a strange, British version of somewhere in the Roman Empire.

Server location? No individual server would be closer to someone than any other server in the same data center, and there's only one for NA/EU. I did a quick check and if the data center is where we assume, all of NA/EU is better served from there than from Japan. Were you talking about Oceania? If I've said something confusing again, I apologize.

In the world of media, to which Abriel belongs, all statements made by a person within a company are promises. the mere hint that they maybe might not fufill the promise is grounds for rage and unbridled anger. That's the Abriel way.

....

Or, we could all relax and wait for a response or an update from Se in the over 2 months before launch. The "promise" isn't broken until the game launches with no further information about this from SE.
