Will they get "disappeared" like in the Soviet Union?

[Blue Footed Booby]

What the hell are you talking about?

[Rabid Dutchman]

OP seems to be asking what will happen to people in our friends list from other countries when the servers become based by region.

I hadn't heard anything about that happening, so I don't know.

We'll be scattered to the winds!

They get a 1-time transfer. More than likely, those names will either be deleted, or you will have to delete them manually.

Also, they get a choice of what server to play on. They won't be required to play on their home-region server.

AND you can have an account for every regional server.

[Deathlike]

It's still a terrible idea, regardless. Had the servers been already regionalized from the start, this would be a non-issue. Now you cannot truly undo this.

[Corvus Antaka]

yeah and what about duplicate names on each region? wtf eh?

[shabowie]

They should just keep global pilot accounts and allow you to drop in whatever regional servers you want through a drop down menu or option menu item. I'll hate to see all the international players go. It's such an awful idea to permanently split your player base, please reconsider.

I agree, it is a mistake.

I won't bother to play on more than one server, I am certainly not leveling up 2 accounts.

They didn't mind babeling the General Discussion forum, so I really doubt they'll bend on this.

[Keifomofutu]

Qu'est ce que?

This is truly one of the more asinine ideas pgi has had so far. Would totally fracture my clan. And the whole multiple accounts excuse?? Really? I am supposed to buy 20 mech bays, mechs and equipment, and level them twice? **** that.

Why the hell can you not just choose the server region each time you log on? I have played 4 other online shooter games recently. In each one you simply select the server you wish to play on.

[coolcook007]

I dont care. I want EU Servers.

1. Not PGI`s Idea. The statement, months ago, was "Regoinal Service provioders MAY require it"
2. What part of MAY is causing you duncecaps to short circuit over things every week as if it were guaranteed to come next patch?

Seriously, PGI gets flamed by this community of neanderthal intellects more over things they`re thinking about than other larger dev teams devs do about things they ****** up years ago ans still say are fine... *facepalm*

I really need to stop coming here vbefore I play, the game is a lot more fun when you forget the forum exists...

Then why don't they require it now? Seems like if such a thing were a requirement it would have already been in place before anyone were allowed to play in the first place. Sounds fishy to me.

Hey, did you miss the part where the handfull of other f2p shooter games I have tried recently did not require it?? Not pgis idea? Yea alright.

Further, in one or two of the ask the devs I believe they indicated it was a lot more likely than "MAY". They also responded to someones question in a rather smart *** remark about server providers. Which does not help to foster positive feelings. And with pgi's track record that is why many of those who actually know whats going on are a bit upset. Try informing yourself next time.

They may want regional companies to handle the different markets (like the awful Aeria games), this would explain why there may be restrictions for different regions.

Does not make it any more palatable.

[LordBraxton]

lol

PGI will lose a lot of customers if they do this

player base is too small to divide

could kill the game

[Syllogy]

Really? How big is the player base?

I'm pretty sure its just me, and all the rest of you are my hallucinations.
