Servers for each Region

[Tibian]

You can't have 20 different kinds of servers. you'll spread the playerbase too thin, and it makes choosing a server that much harder.

EDIT: Made some quick alterations based on subsequent posts.

Nope, it doesn't.

1. North America
2. Asia
3. Europe
4. English - North America
5. English - Europe
6. German - Europe
7. French - Europe
8. Japanese - Asia
9. International 1 - Located in Americas
10. International 2 - Located in Europe
11. International 3 - Located in Asia

Equal to the 11 servers we have now.

I am willing to give Europeans more servers if it means they can play on primary language servers should they choose to. Ragnarok seems to be a success, I see no reason why it couldn't work again in 2.0. If necessary, 5/6/7 could be consolidated into an "EU Languages" server to cut server costs and free up additional server location slots and/or types of servers such as encouraging roleplay.

Also, IP bans or region bans would not be forced on any server, these are simply recommendations to make gameplay more efficient for everyone and their preferred play styles.

1. US Region
2. JP Region
3. EU Region
4. English Language
5. German Language
6. French Language
7. Japanese Language
8. International 1
9. International 2

That's less than the 11 we have now. Just proved it can be done.

2.0 is likely going to bring in so many new players to the community that it will be like having an entirely new community anyhow. Competent server transfer infrastructure can handle any problems that arise at 2.0.

That's just assumption

i wouldn't bet it. Safe bet for SE is that they add few not many and see the demands.

4. English Language
5. German Language
6. French Language
7. Japanese Language
8. International 1
9. International 2

So the Canadians have to play on an international server? they arent in US also you would need alot more or you would be forcing people on a server they don't want.

You cannot just designate servers based on region and have the same amount, more JP play than NA, you would need about twice as many JP servers, than NA ones, and more NA play than EU, you would be aiming for twice as many NA servers than EU.

With your idea EU has 3 servers compared to US 1 and JP 1.

Again your idea would have to be changed to at the very least 6 JP servers 4 NA servers and English, German, French servers, all EU servers would be almost dead and NA possibly JP servers would be packed, then come 2.0 with the influx of players we are hoping for only the international servers would be available.
