Info on EU Preferred Worlds?

[noisydog]

What further word? They just recently removed the Preferred label from the EU worlds which had that label.
There is usually a few months between each such status change, so if you are waiting you may have a long time to wait - I wouldn't expect any changes in world status before the release of Shadowbringers.
And even then there is no guarantee they will mark any EU servers as Preferred. The servers marked as such are those with unusually small populations. If no world in a datacenter has an overly small population, then none of the worlds will be marked as Preferred.

The last times there have been any changes in which worlds are considered Congested/Preferred have been:
Apr 2, 2019
Jan 8, 2019
Nov 6, 2018
Sep 18, 2018

So what you are saying is that new players are best to avoid playing on the EU servers then? Started a character on one of the NA preferred worlds to kill time, but guess this will end up becoming my main if there won't be any EU preferred servers any time soon. Seems silly as created a NA toon in part because of all the talk of low populations on EU, but to not encourage further growth on the EU servers seems counterproductive.
