Thread: US Servers at 2.0?

every mmo, even the lolf2p has local servers... why can't we have them too? it's too hard for SE to manage them?

Because the servers only report character position every so often. This is due to server infrastructure. It has nothing to do with the location of the servers.

We're getting localized (albeit located in Japan, but regional) servers anyway in 2.0. Why all the fuss? Is it because the players for forced global servers realize they're in the minority?

Most of us don't login at 3am to play with our cousins on the other side of the globe, speak 4 different languages, or simply don't want to deal with the terrible auto translate. For those that do, you'll still have your global servers.

Fair enough .. see Raistlin's post then.

I can't believe people are arguing that regional servers wouldn't be better, are you people crazy ?
Forget about playing with other nations for a moment, we are talking about whats best for the optimal gameplay experience.

And when I say gameplay I don't mean talking to and making friends with others.

Why should we forget about something that is integral to a large group of peoples "Optimal gameplay experience" being able to be "Primetime somewhere" is a massive advantage for people who don't play during their regions primetime hours.

So, I'd just have to say.

Community > A few MS ping.

You obviously have selective comprehension, because there would still be International servers available to those who wanted it.

Since you're not asking this for a serious response I'll give you one anyway, it's the way the client > Server > Client interaction is, if you spin your character around in a circle you'll notice your animation for spinning differs from how someone sees you, that isn't network delay, it's purposefully designed that way.
