Merge the EU/US Servers

EVE Online, a true PvP game, is hosted in a single server cluster in the UK, yet hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world have no latency issues connecting to that datacenter.

The separation between NA and EU is killing WvW, and ultimately your player base. Hopefully you will reconsider when you realize that the long term viability of GW2 is very much linked to how much fun players have in WvW.

The only thing that is killing WvW for us Europeans, and that is killing the European-Player Base, is the way NA-Guilds think WvW is got to played: go to an EU-Server and drive out those People from their Server by PvD!
You haven´t seen an Enemy for hours? Who cares?!
No Deffenders because they sleep? Who cares?!
Only Challenge is how fast will you get the Doors down? Who cares?!

You really think by moving to an EU-Server will bring the other Servers to the perception “Oh! We also need an NA-Guild here!”?
Nope. They will only say: “Well… Thanks for annoying us! Next Game!”

There are 24 Servers in NA and you seek your challenge in Offpeak-PvD in Europe? Are the Keepdoors and Keeplords in Europe harder?
Oh wait… If you play on NA-Server there might be some deffenders and that whould be…Wow! Real Players? Not only NPC´s? To hard!

Do you really think that we think how skilled you are by doing that?

Sure. A-Net will not change anything. By changing the System they would admit they made a Mistake. And as we all know: “Its never a Software-Mistake! Its a Feature!”

No offense to the Russian players, but they probably don’t even make up 1% of the games population. Making any decision around such a small minority of players is harmful towards Anets long term interests.

As it stands now, most of the world can play on the NA servers just fine.

27 Servers in Europe
24 Servers in NA

Well.. Beside that i´m still for the “Stay in you Region!”-Option: Why should the majority switch?

Let here be a simple Poll with only one Question:

Do you want Help from other Regions?

Put all the Server that answered with “Yes” into one Pool.
The other ones should stay in der Region-Pool.

We will see how long this Servers will survive.

I´m sure that 90% of Europen-Region Servers would answer with “No!”

There is nothing to tweak…

1st. You play on FR / German / Spanish server ? your problem.
You choose that server knowing you would only play with 1 nation, and 1 nation only.

EU server have many nations working together, this would bound to happen as EU servers speak english and have lots more time coverage then a 1 nation server.

2nd. USA / ASIAN / EU / AUSSIES decide for themsevles where and how to play.
USA on EU ladders ? good game they want 24/7 WvW going, dont like it ? find more off peak guilds for your server or join a server that have off peak coverage.

3trd. Congruatiolations Desolation with wiping off Vizunah Sqaure from the crown.

1. You are forgetting something: we decided to Play on a national Server in Europe (FR/DE/SP are still a Part of it) to compete against other Europeans.

2. USA on EU-Servers want what? 24/7 WvW? Just to make it clear: NA-Guilds formerly playing on NA-Servers didnt had enough Enemies in their Main-Times, so they switched to EU-Servers to compete against… what? Our Doors? How Brave they must be!
You said it yourself: it´s an Off-Peak-WvW for them. They dont have to Fear that somebody would Stop them in Capping all Points. Again: HOW BRAVE!

3. Desolation whipping off VS… Really? “Oh look VS! We are better than you because we kicked your A** while you have been sleeping!”

Just take a look how Deso made their Points. In the EU-Maintime they had to Fight and WHOOPS! It doesnt look that Good for them. But in the EU-Night… When nobody is there… I can hear Deso-Players scream: “YAY! Free Points!”

I have no Problem with Nightcapping. Its a part of the Game.
BUT: Let the Nichtcappers be from Europe! If they do it, i know that they had to stand Up (or stay Up) in the Night. They have to sacrifice their Sleeping Time to do that. Thats something i can accept, even more: i admire that! They are showing their Will to do more for their Server.
NA-Guilds doing that while we are sleeping? As tough as stealing a Cookie from a Baby…
