Only 6 EU Servers?!?

[Fayto]

As wirewitch said below:



I don't want to have to get online at 3/4/5 in the morning to go raiding with NA players who schedule raids for 6pm local time. Would you be willing to play in a guild, in a raid, with people who are 8-9 hours behind you, so while they're fresh home from work with an hour or two of rest you're watching the sun rise and worrying that this next boss might make you miss your bus to work? EU servers are for people running on typically GMT and upwards of one to two hours, so my argument still stands; Why are there only 6 EU Servers?!?

Yes because I AM in an EU guild and I am in America. Like I said, EU servers ARE the same thing as NA servers. They are in the same location and use the same data center. Your entire post is irrelevant.

As someone stated in another thread, the whole labeling of JP and NA/EU server is unnecessary.

Pretty much all servers have the same ping, so they could have simply removed this arbitrary categorization (especially for NA/EU) and let everyone choose whichever server they wanted.


Result: less crowded servers, and we might have had the chance to play decently during the last weekend.

You dont get it, no? I dont think any EU person gives a damn where the servers actualy are located. Who cares if the ping is 20 or 100? That doesnt really change a thing. But what makes a difference is, that if a server is labeled as "EU" more "EU ppl" might wanna make that one their virtual home in hope to find "more EU ppl" to play with at "EU prime".

In FFXI i played with NA mostly and hell i was pissed 4 days a week when i watched them start NNE, Dynamis and all that other stuff 15 minutes before i had to log. Made me quit cause i dont pay for a "Massive Multiplayer Online Game" to play it on my own.

THAT is the point.

Finaly there is a higher chance for the EU gamers to play with other EU gamers. One of the main reasons i came back after i quit in v.1.

That's why they should have removed this JP/EU/NA nonsense completely.

Just one list of server - choose whichever you want.

Of course the various communities out there would have chosen "unofficial (insert country here) server" so some unbalance was going to happen anyway, but still that would have allowed every server, more or less, to have people from all timezones.

Totaly agree, that is one of the things I liked about FFXI. No matter what time I logged on, there was always enough people online to group with.
