Why wont all European ppl in American servers come back to Europe?

I mean, it`s ok that u want to do UW/FoW more, but Europe is getting favor more and more (at the most important times).

So, all come back and have fun in European servers!!

No...

I moved to the American servers 2 days after release when I got the game.. why do you ask?

- Lack of English speaking people, no one was talking English

Pure and simple, the favour thing has nothing to do with it, since I was new to the game, plus I couldn't care less for UW or FoW even 300+ hours into the game.

I'm staying thank you, the European servers have nothing to offer me.

For your information, the European servers are now seperated in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.

But I was pointing at the people who DID move there because of favor

Kampfkeks · Oct 13, 2005, 05:23 PM // 17:23

I just did move over to the american realm. I tried to stay loyal to europe for a long time and after getting one of those "we implemented languages.. yay for languages" crap response on the World at Flaw System i simply switched over.

The only thing getting me back to the european realm is a fix of the system. Nothing else. Well pity is i will now fight tombs against europe. But i don't care anymore and i'd advice EVERY european to switch over to the american realm as well. Besides, shortly before i switched the european servers started lagging again. For me... and for most of the folks on my friendslist. And considering the last lag catastrophe europe had... well that just helped us switch.

* Added language-specific districts to European servers. There are now different districts for each supported language: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Players are placed by default into the district that matches their current language preference, but can still travel freely to any available district or to the International District.

I guess you can come back now

Nope, I did port back there for a time, only to find that the divide has resulted in less players in all the disticts... a counter productive action on A.net parts... and limited use universal translator would have been more ideal, but I guess that asking for a lot.

As it stands, American servers (Even with all the rude people) has more on offer due to the higher player numbers.

Not my fault A.nets marketing in Europe sucks and there not as many people playing it there.

Good point, but I guess I found my home in the US servers, all my UK friends are here, I'd be hard pressed to get them back.

If A.net got rid of that 5 times to move only thing it would help... but guess that never going to happen.

Medion · Oct 13, 2005, 06:06 PM // 18:06

Guess not either, everyone would just go along with the favor.

Although English is not my first language, but i think that is past tense. Doesn`t past tense mean that it is over?

And again, do you think that all the American ppl will change district when they have lag? I can`t imagine all american ppl coming to Europe.

LeftAlone- · Oct 13, 2005, 06:13 PM // 18:13

I prefer all english and my guild is american-heavy.
And I don't play UW/Fissure.

i really should stop bothering....... there has been alot of threads about the lag we had back then. it was commented by gail and some other(s) guy from anet because alot of people (including me) where pissed cuz we didnt hear from them until 2 weeks in, then they told us that they knew about the problem and was working on fixing it. took another week.
but it wasnt ur average crappy connection lag, it was major freezez that could last (atleast for me) up to 30 seconds. i had a couple of friends that wanted 2 change cuz of the favour and i think that for most people that freeze issue was the thing that finally made them change servers. i wont rant more about this ucz its pointless but i was just making a statement for 1 of the reasons I belive people changed servers. if u want more info on the "great" lag we had search and u will see how happy people where about it.

IceD'Bear · Oct 13, 2005, 09:15 PM // 21:15

The EU lag was not anet's fault, but on some servers on the road from the US to the EU datacenters (somewhere in LA if I remember right).
And the same thing can happen again on your road to the US datacenters.

EternalTempest · Oct 13, 2005, 09:27 PM // 21:27

I've seen several area's / comments / from Anet basically saying there trying but I rember the pre-order packs of us compared to europe. Europe buy the package meant you got a cd-key (I wish I could get a europe pre-order item

) where we got a package, music, poster, mini guide, etc. Also rember about how a lot of people stumbled across the game in europe from posts and such.

Fantus · Oct 13, 2005, 09:45 PM // 21:45

No way.

a) American servers still have favor for pretty much the whole day
b) there are not too many people in most non major EU outposts, especially in non primetime hours, when I tend to play
c) most of my guildmates play on American servers, too (half of them ARE Americans)
d) in English districts you can hear pretty much any language except English

I am perfectly happy on US servers and I don't see ANY reason to come back.

Nooooo! I've made some good friends with Euros. No no no! They can't go back! If they did I would never be able to FoW/UW with them!

It's called "take a hike through the Shiverpeaks with them and atleast 3 other Americans"

BellyFlop · Oct 13, 2005, 10:40 PM // 22:40

Not sure if its only coz the most of the Europeans are in the American Server or The Europeans are not playing this game.

I have 2 accounts one in American Server another in the European Server but for the last week or so i noticed less and less people in the European Servers.

And sometimes i check the American servers at European Peak times and the Americans still manage to have more people with more districts than Europe on its peak time, and if u notice the writing and have a quick chat in the American servers at that time u will notice most are Europeans.

Plus do your own tests go to games shops and ask for a nice Online Game but not FPS and most will say World of Warcraft.

Total Agree with that comment, buy a pc magazine and see how many times u See WoW compare to Guild Wars same thing in the Shops u get 3 layers of WoW in the Shelfs and 1 small area with GW.

I think Even Diablo 2 Has more players online that GW

That no longer works. At least it hasn't the last 3 times I have tried.
