better yet.. when do we get ASIA/PACIFIC servers?

[Zphyr]

Eventually, one day, maybe, probably this century. No one knows.

I thought they weren't bothering with EU servers now since they added HSR?

[Chemie]

It is with CW

[KharnZor]

never hopefully.

SOON™ if PGI don't change their stance about this subject.

[Kanatta Jing]

PGI is going for regional locked servers with community warfare to avoid people in NA having to wake up at 3 AM to shoot Russians.

Please don't make me go to the EU server...
People talk funny there

Last I heard they were using different distributors in different regions meaning not only different game servers but different account servers.

That was quite some time ago though.

EU servers will only increase prices. 99$ are roundabout 75 Euro, keep it that way

Regional/international servers soon? 3 areas: Russia (closed region), Europe, Austrialasia.
Also considering the problems of sharding the population, having player/server information carry over to other shards/servers. Working on it right now.

Is it just me or is there not enough people to justify the costs for that at this point in time?

If it is already a problem to "separate the queues" for the sake of 1PV/3PV, or let alone a newbie/veteran queue, then it stands to reason that separating the game by region (despite the obvious benefit of reducing pings) is not the most practical thing on a cost/benefit analysis.

It's just a sad commentary/thought on the issue.

They already sadi they have not the ressources for running the Testserver and you realy believe in an EU Server ??

[Lunatic_Asylum]

Most EU- and US-server games are merging their servers, and move them to the US. There will be no EU server, methinks.

Games published by the same.company globally, yes. Games where different publishers have bought the rights to publish the game in other regions, no. It depends which of these MWO ends up being.

I have no big problems with pings as for now, but I feel for the poor folks in asia and australia dredging the mucky 400+ ping times..

[Taiji]

I've been waiting for EU servers to go live before playing again, because the lag makes the game ****

It's just you. Go look at the population of Europe compared with the US, and notice how you have half as much. lol

HSR has pretty much eliminated the need for regional servers do to lag. Instead, if regional servers are set up, it will mainly be for players to communicate in their native tongue instead of English only.
