Only 6 EU Servers?!?

[Dingo9012]

Some people seem to have severely missed the point on this one. Arguing that; "The EU and NA servers are in the same location!!!" doesn't really matter, I mean...what the hell does the physical location have to do with server designation anyway? I know they are all one list, in one physical location, but that's not the point of the discussion, the point was: Why are there only 6 EU Servers? Why are only 6 out of the list of 25 EU/NA servers designated as EU, for players who prefer to play with other players from the EU during EU primetime, in EU languages?

Lots of people absolutely and utterly fail at reading comprehension. Dingo is right on the nose here - this is the main concern, not ping. I can't raid with Americans or Japanese because of the timezones. I guess an entire Euro LS could create on a JP server and just run their own raid times (which would be when the server is practically desolate). That kind of defeats the point of community though, doesn't it? Plus the game is so fresh, a lot of players have no idea what LS they want to join.

Why are there only 6 EU Servers?

Because in SE's past experience there was BARELY enough people not to make a ghost server with 1 EU server in the previous version.
Growth is expected by why would they expect a change in the ratio of logins from different parts of the world? EU had always been the smallest amount of people before, they presumed that no matter how much the game grew, it'd still be the smallest amount of people, thus the smallest amount of servers

Well if us EU players can't get on, then SE is going to have what I like to call a "self-fulfilling prophecy".

The influx of new players from launch is going to cause even more problems.
