How about you guys start transferring to EU servers too instead of asking the EU and Oceanics and whatever to come to you ?
There are very few American guilds in the EU servers, but there are plenty of EU guilds over there. We need to balance things out.
So I hope you read this thread and start to think about it.
I won’t tell you to go to a certain server (although I would like you to come to Ruins of Surmia where we could use your help a lot). But so far I’ve only seen the latin guilds go to Barukh Bay and the French Canadians go over to the french servers, there are very few US guilds on the other Servers, probably a few here or there.
Fact is, the US servers are already very full while the EU servers could use your help a lot.
The problem is Oceanic guild get better latency on US Server over EU Server. Any international guild choose US server as their home server because US is in between EU and Oceanic and SEA.
I can think of a few reason english speaking EU players might prefer the US servers.. namely that everyone speaks english, this is probably the main reason. Another might be that with its wide timezone gap, US servers generally have a “primetime” that lasts at least 3 hours longer than you would see on a primarily UK server.
I can’t think of a good reason to play on EU servers… The potential of being mocked just for being an American doesn’t help the case
It would be better if Anet could get rid of the regional boundary between the EU and NA servers. Then start creating server alliances between NA & EU servers that would play on the same W3 team, but remain separate for PvE. Hopefully they could do this in a fashion such that the resulting W3 server alliances would have better round the clock coverage than most servers have now.
I won’t deny that there are US mockings :p But it’s the same for you guys towards EU people.
Also so far everyone accepts english as the main language to be spoken openly and we’ve had no language problems at all. Mainly because the germans, french and spanish all already have their own language servers and the ones who play the other server now, do it accepting english as the openly spoken language. RoS has people from all over Europe, we have French, Germans, British, Dutch, etc…
And like was said before, The US has a LOT of different languages too.
All you need is some courage to make the step. You might even like it! The transfers ar still open, why don’t you try transferring to an EU server (RoS maybe ? :p) for like 2-3 days and see if you like it ?
Also, the RoS Primetime starts quite late and goes quite late too (till like 1-2 AM CET) And by then you you US’rs will also be online. We also have a small night krewe of dedicated players wanting to make a difference.
