Gamescon official Line-up!

[Chardrizard]

I am sure everyone from entire US will be attending a convention in a particular city. Oh wait.. Dont quote me on this but i have read that gamescom scale is bigger than E3, I know i didnt even bother with this year's E3.

The thing is US has about 10x the player base that plays these games. Based on the last goblin giveaway FFXI contest SE held, US got 10x the amount of prizes over EU players. Which would lead me to believe there is 10 to 1 ration of US to EU players.

I could see them wanting to promote there more but Germany where very few people play FFXIV there, if you look at the German forums on this site they are pretty dead.

prolly true, but if you wanna win over the big crowd from
games such as WoW etc, you need to come to europe.
and well...germany is more or less smack middle of europe.

Just because its in germany dosent mean it only affects germans, it affects other
Eu countries aswell, such as russia, france, uk, sweden, norway, finland etc...
You know...region of the Vikings!

The fail is strong with this one

[Antipika]

You can't compare XI and XIV player base. XI got its FR and DE translation way too late. WoW was already released in here when XI got translated. XI never got popular in France and Germany partly because of this, everyone was playing something else, we were on DAoC, WoW, etc. Because these games were already localized.

XIV got translated day one, so no handicap for DE/FR audience.

it'll be ok remember she shouldn't be talking about the whole US because she doesn't represent the whole of the US...

[Galliano]

Wait so people who go to this event in Germany get priority beta access? Somehow that doesn't seem all that fair to people in the US.

Didn't they have sign ups at E3 as well?

[Hycinthus]

ah and for our US players who dont know where Germany is located (lols)
^^



btw. is it true, that US inhibitants dont know things like that?^^ i always wanted to know

I'm sorry, I still don't know where this is. Can you post a bigger map that has the US in it, and point out the US and then Germany with arrows? Thanks.

You are maybe more familiar with this one:



The Gamescom takes place around the "D" in "Dirty P*rn" (between Smelly People and Buffer Zone)
