Played in the US on the Mythic servers and the quality difference is very noticable, i even get less lag on the US servers (well, when they were populated anyway).

Mabs said:right time zone
cant find it now, but sanya was quoted saying GOA -HAVE- to have support etc to the same standard as the US servers to keep the liscence, which afaik, will mean in game GMs , etc.. and with EA money that should be possible.. so should be ok.
anyway, too soon to tell either way imo
/scuttles off back to ddo
RS|Phil said:How is the time zone relevant if people from this time zone are playing on those servers?
Like I said, give one good reason.

Tears said:1 - commitment, remember when mythic said to trash prydwen and start over - GoA refused and spent countless hours restoring as many items as the could.
2 - public facing, do you see the Mythic GM's actively posting on non-official forums to the same extent that GoA do ?
3 - Events, whens the last time Mythic ran an in game event and I dont just mean grouping with a mythic bod and running aroudn the frontier to get a beta slot in the next expansion I doubt very much this would happen with WAR as the servers obviously need to be the same but it does highlight GoA's commitment with DAOC
The main gripe from past discussions on this was ingame support and its already been stated that if the US servers have that - so will the EURO ones.

RS|Phil said:1 > As far as I know they never seriously considered that, and I'm 100% certain they wouldn't do that to one of their OWN servers, precisely the same way GOA refused.
2> Yes, you do. Perhaps our GMs make a tad more effort but then, considering the problems we've had, they've HAD to.
3> I can't recall a GOA event of significance so I'm a bit lost there tbh. I know there's been a few but the last one I saw running, there was no interest anyway. I even got PM'd once by a GM asking me to come play in that silly boat race because so few people were up for it.
I can live with playing with Americans btw Most MMOs in the past have been trans-Atlantic, and again there's a lot of people from here that now or did used to play on the yank servers with little or no complaints.
Really, I just can't fathom a reason to decentralise the game's population. To me it just makes an endless amount more sense to have us all in one place.

Funny how such a small thing as stacked powerpots can make such a significant diffrence.
GOA does work hard, people seem to think they sit with a coffe cup just scooping the money in, I hardly belive thats true, ofcourse theres money from servers, but only paychecks bite a large chunk out of that.
Eventhough over the years GOA have done a few bloopers, I still thank them for running the game I love like no other.
