Data Centers/World Locations Info from the LIVE Letter

[Delsus]

Who says you'll even have the opportunity to move again after-the-fact?

I've yet to see official information stating we will have more than one opportunity to choose a server.. granted I think it would be absurd for them to only give one opportunity, considering we may not know if one datacenter or another is going to be better for us (some people may be partially in betweeen two centers for example), but still as of yet I haven't seen anything official on it unless I've missed it.

I remember somewhere they said they wanted to make it easier to move servers if you wanted.

They did indeed mention making transfers available, and there's also the fact that you can create at least one character, and up to 8 depending on your account, on every server.

"No, no. You won't have to live on a server that's only populated during your primetime. You'll be able to live on a server that's only populated during another region's primetime instead!"

I've never played an MMO (that wasn't near death) where the servers were "not populated" during times outside of "prime time." Go play any popular MMO on the market now. You can find people online any time of the day. This really isn't a legitimate complaint.

I'll have to look for the info, if you happen to find the source, lemme know.

Do you happen to have the source? The one that states we will be able to log into 2.0, redesign our character, pick a server, and then re-choose a server if we're not pleased with the one we've chosen?

I'm not saying they didn't say it, I'm just entirely curious where they said it.

i know they said it too, i think it was in the special talk session. have you had a chance to watch that in its entirety? I've been trying to keep up to date on all info so it kind of becomes a blurr

Correction Click here and skip to 21 min in. make sure you have the CC button pressed for the subtitles.

Yeah the info does sort of all run together at this point

I have watched the entire video with subtitles already once. Now I'm watching the 21-minute mark you mention but so far all he's said is that people will be able to choose a datacenter locally or over-seas. That's it, no mention of re-selection at any point. Now they've moved on to talking about other things (Agni's Philosophy).

[ZakarnRosewood]

lol i just rewatched that part and you are right. i'm sure they talked about it in there, just watch the whole thing and come back if there is still some confusion. they do jump around a bit so it could have been before or after or whatever. i know it was said they want it easier for players to change servers.

[Breladine]

I'll give it another watch-through at some point, I'm too busy to hang on subtitles for another hour, blah.

Talking about prime times on servers is a 100% legitimate complaint, go look at wow, your saying there are always people in say Stormwind, which is true, but its random gimps and afk guilds, you can /shout reqruit in any game, its gimps who normally dont do events looking for leech spots. Actual guilds will run during prime time, you do not go to a NA specific server to start your events at EU prime time, you will have no members.

Ive played wow, i know these facts from experience, between multiple servers.

Just logged on WoW at 11:15 PM server time, you could say this is out of prime time and there were 3 people making DS groups, and some guy making some TK transmog run. So yea on any MMO that is popular and has a lot of people you will always find people making groups no matter the time.

Do you always look so heavily down upon those not in your personal group/linkshell/guild, Mr. I'm So Elite? People shouting for groups aren't automatically bad players.
