European servers

[Shneibel]

Another reason, that could get relevant in 3rd coil: DPS.

It got measured, that european players with around 120-150 ms latency are not able to do the same amount of dps as japanese players with 20-40 ms.

My pt do enough dmg on t8 and we skip set 5 and 8 and we are from Eu, there might be different but if the different is 1% of boss hp, that is minimal

Australians have had to put up with high latency since forever and Australia is not big enough to warrant a separate server hub. Perhaps with more Chinese and Korean players coming in SE might set up a SE Asian server, but the JP servers are just as good.

At least EU players aren't as whiny as the NA players when they get the tiniest amount of lag.

I am very sorry to tell you the truth:

They are the same

[WHS]

They are renting the data centre in Canada not owning it. That means if all a sudden players have to leave the game and go to the new shiney SE can fallback and merge all of us back to jp servers. Thus removing anymore investment. They can do the same for EU as well. Rent the space and fallback if that many jump ship. I don't expect that to be a problem though. They market this game too heavy in the EU market and a lot of them play this game religiously. Dedicated players. All they are asking for is a localized server in their part of the world. I support this.

EU players are better, they don't need EU servers - that would make things too boring.

Congratulations to Aussie Wow players!!!



Oceanic servers are being physically moved to Sydney.

That takes wow servers to New York, Chicago, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Frankfurt, Paris, Stockholm, Sydney plus Chinese and Russian servers. Allowing players to select the server located nearest to them for the best play experience.
