Has the EU data centre split inadvertently killed Eureka?

Almost sounds like they could do with upgrading to better servers, but like I said, this was the cheap solution. Why actually address the issues with this games server infrastructure and netcode when more hamsters costs less?

Upgrades on SE's end won't make a difference if players aren't also upgrading on their end.

They could have (may already have) servers capable of handling 500 players in a single location but that does little good if 90% of the players are using systems that are going to severely lag or even crash if there are more than 100 players in a location. We already see the issues with hunt trains. Some have no problems with the large trains while others experience rendering issues and severe lag, or even have their systems crash.

There comes a point when more servers to spread out the player population is the answer because of issues on the player end and the need to keep the game accessible.

The problem are not the systems that players have the problem is that the game can't handle certain things. You can clearly see that when a new expansion hits and servers crash because to many people try to do the little msq trial. We all know that the engine here is not the best when it comes to handling a large number of players and players that have a too weak system will be rewarded with a game crash.

Don't worry the NA players will see how great this split is for themselfs pretty soon. Lets see how many complains will hit the forum then.
