Vote for a EU server in EU

[RaineMagus]

read the post right above dude... some american have worst latence than you stop to see only yourself. what shock me more with this news is the way they treat people that did spend hours and hours to make progress in the guild and suddenly we will say them... screw that dude, you need to migrate or simply loose half your friend! seriously? it make me sick how they don't care about them customer, i'm sorry but when they have make the housing of FC and soon the personal housing available ask people to change of migrate out of the server because they did decide to migrate a cluster to europe is simply the worst way to treat customer!

You have to look at this from the perspective of the people making the choice to change servers. These people are deciding to leave their current server, their friends, their FC, their raid team, housing, etc, etc behind in favor of better latency. To them, the lower latency gameplay experience is more-important, and they believe it will ultimately lead to more enjoyment out of the game. It may stink for everyone who's sad to see them go, yet on the otherhand SquareEnix providing more of a choice did not force such a decision. (It was made on their own free-will)

Is it more fair than providing a choice, for SquareEnix to force players to all play on single centralized servers (eg, how 1.0 operated)? Keep in mind that given a choice, people are picking otherwise.. So, effectively regardless how you're viewing it, these players are only playing there because they had no other option and were forced to (to begin with).


Similarly you can opt to migrate servers with this group of players to an EU world at the cost of extra-latency [if you wish to continue playing with them], or to create two characters and to play on multiple worlds. [also: if you and your group form a consensus you can still opt to select a single place to stay, yet of course I assume you don't want to "force" people to stay]
