European servers are getting more empty daily:

-Inactive guilds causing
-More players to leave guilds which
-Makes GvG games more and more impossible
-No HoH matches at all for days
-PvE players hardly show up anymore to join quests
-Too many players allready switched to America

In Europe (the district) the game is almost dead. If nothing happens soon European servers may close as well within 2 months...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! EUROPE! COME BACK! I MISS YOU!

I'm actually debating whether or not I'll switch to Europe permanently for awhile.

actually im in america but when i get rank 3 i will return :P

I, for one, hope they close the European server. If it did, I'd even hold a party.

They should refresh everyones Realm change limit back to 5 and offer extra faction/exp for underpopulated realms

You're on drugs. Seriously. Have you even been to the european district?

What is happening, though, is a migration of 55/105 monks. They can't farm the underworld without favor, after all. They'll of course be sorely missed.

Is Europe leaving? Let me count the number of districts right now, at 2.30 AM on a weekday night:

Ascalon City (pre-searing): 22 districts
Ascalon City (post-searing): 29 districts
Lion's Arch: 17 districts

Seems pretty healthy to me, especially considering the time of day...

Rofl, nicely done.

I liked what everblue said..."permanently for awhile"

kG is an european guild and we're pretty active in gvg... we do it everyday

aismailuk · Aug 25, 2005, 08:53 AM // 08:53

Well, I'm still here...

I haven't noticed a drop in the amount of people on Euro servers, just a fluctuation in each town which there will always be depending on time of day etc.

Oracle · Aug 25, 2005, 08:57 AM // 08:57

I always hated WaW. Maybe one day it will be removed and something more innovative will be implemented. I can hope can't I?? >.<

PS I do feel kinda guilty as I play on the American servers, but that is where my guild is based!

Fantus · Aug 25, 2005, 09:09 AM // 09:09

I left EU servers because of them being quite empty at most times outside the 6pm-11pm GMT timeframe. Our once mainly European guild that used to consist of 60% EU and 40% US players is now by 90% a US guild since pretty much all EU based players in our guild moved. Yes, there ARE always districts open in EU servers but there are no people in them. US servers are crowded anywhere anytime. I can find PUGs whenever I want and I can find a match in Arenas whenever I want (try that on EU servers at 10am - you have no idea how often I received that "No opposing party joined" message...). Last but not least, I finally don't have to care about that utterly crappy Worlds at War concept anymore and can enter UW/FoW whenever I want to and work an my Fissure armor, because we have favor pretty much the whole day.

Do I regret moving to US? No, not a bit. Will I ever move back? Very unlikely, to say the least. Finally the better part of our guild is on the same server and we can set up parties in regular districts and not in those competely deserted "International Empty Spaces".

Frankly - who cares if there are dedicated EU servers or not? They can still set up non-English language districts on US servers, too.

I want whatever the OP is on, them's some strong drugs!

Suuk · Aug 25, 2005, 09:24 AM // 09:24

I am on US server too. Back in April I switched to US because there were more ppl to play with so I recognise the arguments posed here. However, I didnt notice the little counter in the screen where u can switch the territory. I dare to say it wasnt there at all at the start of GW

Anyways, at night time I played with Europeans on the European server and during day time I played on US servers until....I got stuck on US servers. ow I am in a little European guild and I want to get back to Euro, but cant.

Little advantage is that US has favor almost all the time, but downside is I cant do UW/FoW with my guildies

Dreamcatcher X · Aug 25, 2005, 09:37 AM // 09:37

No way is europe dying! rofl!

Didn't the game get released over the US & Korea first? Surely they would have gained some advantage over the Euro servers?

I find that the Euro servers are packed out! I've never had a shortage of players.

I'm sorry but Europe is gaining Favour more and more now, just the trouble is everyone flocks to ToA when we have favour. Favour is really only lost as no one in Euro fight HoH when we have favour! I think the reason why US has so much favour is because numb nuts like you guys (European playing on US server) can't be arsed to fight HoH and just want to farm UW/FoW. Stop being traitors & cowards and fight for you continent! Rejoin Europe! If you have enough skill and knowledge of the game then prove it. Our Guild Team team up with other guild's in HoH to bring ownership to the Gods. Euro guilds are welcome to join The Red Moon in combat in HoH, just like Korea & the US do!

THE TIME IS NOW! FOR THE FEAR OF US & KOREAN PLAYERS IS OVER! REJOIN EURO SERVERS AND SHOW THE WORLD WHO RULE! EUROPE FEAR NONE, KOREA & US PREPARE TO BE OWENED!

rant over

You will cut down a tree with a herring!
Ni!

STOP BEING DUMB AND EARN FAVOUR FOR EUROPE IF YOUR EUROPEAN.

Rant 2 over :P

Think for a while

Buaha, same here

Although I can't say I miss european servers.

Main reason for me switching to US servers was number of people, and thus super high availability of whatever i needed to purchase. Needless to say, I had serious troubles finding whatever I needed on EU servers.
I moved before european language districts update, so not seeing tons of french and german spam (in case anyone wants to flame for this statement - i am against usage of ANY nonenglish language, including polish, in main/team chat [unless all members speak this language ^^], and such behavior would quickly lead to bannition from our guild even tho we are national-only guild) in US was an extra bonus.

..and also don't forget that some of us 'Europeans' don't even consider ourselves as 'Europeans' anyway. Especially us Brits, we are an island. So there.

I just can't get excited about fighting for an artificial border in an atlas.

Now, if they had Brit, French or German teams able to win favour, that is worth fighting/fighting for.
