Question for Euro players - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Having never been to the US servers i can't really compare, but theres plenty of people online in our servers. I can't see why you would want 16+ ascalon districts, 5ish English Districts is fine for me.

We still have our fair share of elitist morons and leavers. Spent a funny hour argueing with someone over Whisper because they left our B/P FoW group after calling us all noobs (the odd thing is we went on to do quite well after he left), turned out he thought he was God because his guild was highly ranked and he was rank 5. Seriously that guy made my day

Another was a monk who had been rushing in first for most the trip then decided to leave because he hadn't gotten any shards yet at the forge even though the drops we're been fairly balanced. To be honest, i have done that ONCE and can you blame me, i spent an hour bonding (the most boring job ever) and every single shard dropped went to the same necro.

Moa Bird is very right though, there is a huge lack of warriors that understand the concept of been a punching bag in FoW and also a few monks that don't seem to understand bonding... There does seem to be a lot of call recently for 4-6man teams in FoW.

Districts are full enough, players are friendly enough (mostly) and rage quitting is no bigger issue than it is in any other district. The only difference really is us Europeans kick HoH arse :P. That and all the decent American Players seem to migrate to Euro districts.

Yea last night I temp-switched to Euro to help a friend out with one of her characters on her secondary account. Needless to say I was using my Ele and the mission was the dreaded Thirsty. It was a awesome and very fun group and we managed to get through the mission without any problems at all. There where 2-3 deaths in the group but no leavers or ragequiters at all.

Some slight problems with people who have an incredibly bad grasp of english, but then again I'm terrible at foreign languages too. And Scandinavians/Dutch are so friendly!

I enjoy the European servers. I have two accounts - one American, one European - which makes things a lot nicer as far as the FOW.

I've been lucky - as far as friendly players - on both sides of the Atlantic.

Yea last night after my wonderful experiance on the Euro side I was thinking I should get a second copy of Core and Factions and have a Euro only account as well.

Lol believe me thats still rare here. I do use Thirsty River as a place to mess around though. I use it to practice spiking sorta builds as the aim is to kill the priest as fast as i can. Eq/As worked pretty damn well. So does a general air spike build.

So far though my best group for it did the entire 3rd area in under 4minutes, that was an amusing trip.

i have 2 accounts and have been pondering switching my 2nd account to the europe server as soon as i get my 2nd monk to LVL 20. my main account is 2 missions away from having 4 characters done with all missions and a few elites away from having full skill unlock on all the primary professions, i have a W, R, Me and Mo primaries on my main account. i have recently been interested in getting serious about doing stuff in FOW and UW but america never seems to have favor when im availible to play, europe usually is holding favor. ive also thought maybe it was time to explore PVP but being unranked makes it hard to get in a group and i can find better things to do then spam LFG for an hour in hopes someone will finally let me in. so i figured maybe moving my N, E and 2nd Mo to europe would give me the best chance to get good in FOW and UW.

the only problem is the occasional eastern european who has no idea how to play the game and keeps spamming the only english word he knows: 'bonus'.
