From what i understand they will start with North America server and then possibly add European and other servers later.

This might pose a problem for us as we might end up on different servers unless we make several accounts and help out FRR on them all.

[Vodkavaiator]

Having experienced playing FPS like games on American servers from Europe, I can safely say that the only way I will be playing is if there is an option to play on European servers.

It is simply too unfair and annoying to deal with lag, ping spikes, etc as a result of servers being in a different geographical region.

[Kargush]

Anywhere I can play without too much lag.

[LtColClaymore]

i prefer EU servers Same thing with BF3

EU servers give me a ping from 12ms to 54ms max
US servers from 110ms to 345ms en some even 999ms:S

So for me only one option really! or the servers should be that good and in te range of 80 then i will try it!

We in Europe can only hope it wont be same as with WoT EU server. We are (were for me, bye bye WoT ) completely ignored server by the developers, we get almost no contests, while NA and RU servers gets large amount of great contests, with big prize pools. Every time anything is released, we are the last one to get it. WoT is a big show in NA and RU, RU even got WoT TV with hot hosts, EU get occasional short simple news on our page, mostly late. And I could go on and on...
And it wasnt because small player base, EU WoT has a lot more players than NA, and only little less than RU...

It would be really sad if this would be the case with MW:O too.

The Skjaldborg will be run on the NA servers.

That's probably going to hit a lot of your members, because as I saw, a lot of them are from Scandinavia (inclouding you, after all).

[Dihm]

Um, I'm from the US Midwest, not sure where you got the idea that I was from one of the Scandinavian countries. And yes, it does hit our rather large non-NA population. But, honestly, they're used to it. And they already play on NA servers with us for various other games. We are an NA centralized unit, this is just how it works for MWO. We aren't going to form splinter groups.

Your location lists Trondheim. Yes, it is a planet in the FRR, but also a large city in Norway.

[Gigaton]

Yeah, llisting it as Planet Trondheim would make you seem less Norwegian (which I thought you were too, since I assumed you meant the city).

[Dihm]

I didn't even THINK of that... man, facepalmed.

[TheFreeman]

I thought this game was supposed to be "international", so it shouldn't really matter where you play it. But since I live in Europe, I would rather play on European servers with a small ping, not on an American server with a 1000+ ping. I think that's obvious.

[oohawkoo]

would have to be europe for me =X lag issues would get old very fast otherwise =X

tho if its NA is the only server for a while id prolly join =X with the hope they can transfer accounts once a new server comes up =3

might even start afreash anyways =X

hopefully it would just mean a change of reagion in the game to get to correct server location =3

Distance is what matters in multiplayer so i will look for a low ping servers, Central Europe: Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Poland, Germany!

[Tarellond]

The location of EU servers probably depends on if there will be separate russian server. If not, it may be positioned more towards the center of Europe. If there will be one, germany would do just fine.

[Ori Klein]

I'd be playing on American servers most likely.
A) I know more people from there.
For some good ironic measure, I lag to the USA far less than I do to Europe (even though Europe is much closer).

[Grimm Wulf]

I don't know where I will go... if it is possible I will probably try out both... if not... *shrugs* no idea.

Pretty easy to confuse the two, tbh.

Except Scandanavia has better weather.

And less restrictive laws on public nudity.

[Haakon Valravn]

And mountains. Which is the most important part.

[MuffinTop]

I'm from the USA, and sympathize for others players from around the world waiting to have a decent server, that is low ping.
