Who will make a character? (Let's build up the community)

[Kyouki]

I've been playing ARR for the past month on Aether>Midgardsomr with friends but would prefer the usually friendlier EU community

Friendlier EU community? To me the NA community seems to be more friendly haha Well i am glad you had that experience though.


There are a few things that keep me from moving:

- Losing all the friends/ppl that i have known for years now
- What happens if ppl on Omega leave/stop playing after they hit lvl 30
- I heard that Omega is going to be THE european RP server
- Do i want my house in an empty ward?
- LANGUAGE! Even though i am german i hate to see german (and all the other european languages + russian) in the chat. What if they refuse to speak english?
- Empty market board and maybe horrible prices for possibly month

The only good thing i see so far is getting rid of the constant 30% paket loss that appeared after the NA server move.

I really don't know what to do. While this is THE chance to move to a better ping without losing house/money there are still so many con's on the other side :/

That's not true. At least Yoshida wont designate offical RP servers yet.
- Do i want my house in an empty ward?
Sure. More chance you get a house.
- LANGUAGE! Even though i am german i hate to see german (and all the other european languages + russian) in the chat. What if they refuse to speak english?
Don't worry. Those are the french. Most speak english here.

If you dont want to transfer, just make a character here. A new one. It won't hurt.

That is certainly a good reason not to move. Unless you can persuade them too to move of course.

Some people will probably do that, but not everybody. As time passes it will become just another server.

- I heard that Omega is going to be THE european RP server

That is the plan, yes - alternative RP servers are needed since Balmung is closed, and the new world seemed like a good option. Unofficial EU RP server of course, since there are no official RP servers.
If that is a good thing or bad thing is a matter of opinion of course.

- Do i want my house in an empty ward?

I think it won't take long before most houses are bought - just like on other servers

- LANGUAGE! Even though i am german i hate to see german (and all the other european languages + russian) in the chat. What if they refuse to speak english?

Then there will be communication problems. Having played on another EU server (Zodiark) I have never ran into that problem in any DF duty, but it is a possibility. Just be careful with checking which languages to use to minimze the risk.

- Empty market board and maybe horrible prices for possibly month

Empty market board is great for sellers. Not so great for buyers. It will indeed take a while for prices to stabilize.
