How do you think the new DC community is going to be like?

[Dzian]

Really? I am actually expecting a lot of people to move for the housing alone, and the housing lotto to have multiple bids even in the small plots. I think the wards might fill up fairly quickly

the more solo focussed players perhaps.
but those with friends nad social bonds on there existing data centres and stuff are less likely to move.

a look at the OCE data centre will show you that with how many oce players stayed where they were because everyone they know is there..

Same thing happened when they launched the EU data centre. which is why theres still so many europeans on Aether and such. though that one has had time to mature and grow with new players actually starting there. fleshing out the populations a bit.

despite how heavilythe game pushes to be a single player rpg it is still an MMO and that makes friends and social connections a top priority for a good portion of the playerbase.

full of people that really want a house probably? Or feel alienated from their current server for social reasons and want a new start as well I suppose.

[AngelCheese77]

I mean.... you can easily get a house in the new Datacenter... just not on Seraph.

It's more about time I guess. Not saying I won't try to. I won't move a character there, but start a new one.

People were asking for it for years and now it's so quiet (apparently) they're struggling to do things due to ridiculous queue times

A nice fiction.

However, just to clear up, the forum voice asking for the regional servers was pretty much non-existant."

The forums, being the negative nancy echo chambers that they are, are irrelevant , Im sure Yoshi ignored them. I would.

is as false as the made-up-fact that our servers are a ghost town. They aren't, as you and I know.

Agreed, Shibi.

[Rapsody]

I don't expect that at all. I expect an active housing community to be the ones who transfer, but having multiple bids on every house in every ward in every housing area is unrealistic. That won't happen.

Come on now, you and I both know it was dead everywhere except Sophia and maybe Ravana for a few months. Ya'll didnt eben have an RP scene till housing was released 1-2 months after the fact and the PF was constantly empty whenever I checked. I doubt it's still the same situation but it was pretty bad at first. Oh and the hate towards NA players was great when we were trying to come over and help you pop the place. It was hit or miss going into a duty whether or not someone would crack an insult.

Hold up there. As a NA player that has been on an OCE server since it opened I have NOT run into ANY hate towards NA players.

Dunno about that, I know that myself and 4 of my friends, plus my parents all prefer to game with NA players than oceanic ones, and we all live down here in Oceania.
