EU Confirmed as 3rd Rate Customer

however you want to defend it:

NA players got a free transfer away from the EU servers when they relocated the EU servers. this relocation leaded to higher a ping for NA players, wich were playing on EU servers. these NA players have known from the beginning that they are playing on EU servers.

now EU players don't get a free transfer away from the NA servers when they relocate them. this relocation will lead to a higher ping for EU players, wich are playing on NA servers. these EU players have known from the beginning that they are playing on NA servers.

it's exactly the same situation. NA players got a free transfer, EU players don't.

I agree 100%. People can call the OP a whiner if they want, but he is correct, NA got free transfers, but EU did not. After the whole maid event stuff, I am not suprised, to be honest.

See the difference there it not the same, EU data center moved to a different region to a a EU region so NA players were given the option to transfer to a NA server to in the NA region. With this NA data center location the data center remaining in the NA region.

Although I agree with this not being fair that aside. The EU servers have been listed as lower pings from the very start, even prior to the EU data centre going live. Everyone also got the option for a free transfer coming from 1.0 - 2.0, as none of the servers were designated by area or they were shifted around can't quite remember exactly.

Why would you even expect to get a good ping on NA servers or even expect it to stay decent?

i am playing on an EU server since i started in 2.0.

however, it made no difference as a EU or NA player to play on an EU or NA server, before they moved the EU servers to europe, since both NA and EU servers were located in america. when they moved the EU servers to europe, they offered a free transfer for all the NA players who were playing on the EU servers because of the increased ping. however, EU players who were playing on NA servers didn't get a free transfer, since nothing changed for them. so it's likely they are playing since this day on the NA servers.

sure, it's their own fault to play on the NA servers, when there are labeled servers for EU players. but same could be said about the NA players who were playing on the EU servers. the NA players on EU servers maybe didn't deserved the free transfer in the first place, but they got one. and since the NA players who didn't deserved the free transfer got the free transfer, the EU players who don't deserve the free transfer deserve a free transfer too.

EU server was located in Canada as far as I remember. I was on Sargantanas and here in the UK it made a big difference for me on fights like Titan,Lev etc. Only reason I remained on there after 1.0 is I missed out on the free 5 days and as others pointed out I too made friends on there.

Although due to family reasons I left the game for a year and a half and when I came back there was an EU data centre, so with most of my friends having left the game I decided to transfer to Ragnarok.

But those issues were my own fault not SE.

Due to the maintenance accompanying the relocation, players will be unable to play for an extended period of time. As compensation, we will extend the subscription period by one day for all players who have an active subscription during the maintenance.

I do not care one way or another. But I don't see why SE doesn't use this chance to lift the transfer limitations. The bots have been pretty active on all servers. Free transfers to an empty EU server. Free transfers off any server over 12k population to a lower pop server. It doesn't really hurt them and it could help servers low pop and balance out some of the full ones. I get that players would have to eat house loss. SE awesome design for that can't be helped.

Sometimes companies need to make choices that help their customers, over padding their pockets. While it might equal a little work. It is not a net loss if players won't going to give SE transfer money anyways.

I think the biggest thing is, while yes an EU ping may go up a bit, they still don't know by how much. It's possible they are waiting til after to see if the ping increase is high enough to warrant free server transfers for X servers before just doing it as a knee jerk reaction to moving the servers.

Ok, you're a 3rd class customer. Stop crying and get over it already.

Feel better now?
