Why no 1 only server?

Yes, the english server will be packed with all the other european countries that don''t fit anywhere else

So it will already be one big server of multiple languages so it makes no sense to label it english

as well as dividing the 5 other countries from it.. That just my pov.

I guess Candus will become the laggiest server of the 6 EU ones.

I would rather have them label all servers as International ones, and than different communities can just pick where they want to go to, like they do in many other games. This would split the community more or less equally to ensure the survival of all servers, but it's too late now. Will be interesting to see how this will play out.

i still think NA will have way more problems then EU servers since they only have one xD we will see

Gives what a chance to change, exactly? People?

The situation that I explained happens in 90% of situations where you gather several different communities that communicate differently from one another in one place. It's something ingrained into our psychological subconscious to look out for our own and to reach out to and chill with people we feel familiar/a kinship with.

For example (not making accusations) lets say the Russians wanna play with the Russians and they're spamming a town/area where people gathers with Cyrillic and then the English speakers get mad because the Russian-speak is spamming their local chat (if you're familiar with the chatboxes ingame things can get cluttered/spammed easily) and start saying like "use ur pt chat" or "gtfo" and then the Russians either ignore them and keep talking making the people who feel alienated by the situation bitter and gives them another reason to "hate Russians" even though those Russians don't represent all Russian gamers or they react and start making comments and it turns into a little e-turf war.

Or everyone decides to stick to their own groups/people where they feel comfortable and choose to prioritise loot drops/supply to only people they like or know for a fact is "one of them" rather than trying to socialise and network with everyone creating a real bonded community.

If there was a way to guarantee that people could co-exist without eventually getting into some kind of stupid turf war and competition could be kept friendly among everyone then sure but I'm pretty sure that if instead of all these servers they made it ONE NA server and ONE EU server for everyone to pile on on that within a couple of weeks there's gonna be some serious bitching about all the German, French, Russian, Filipino, etc in local/world chat that however many people can't understand and how that's unfair for # player's experience.

Either way they could've done it someone was going to have an issue with how they chose to deal with it.

That happens even with people of their own language. It will happen regardless.
It is true that if people talk their own language rather than english it wil create an alienated feeling

and it is indeed difficult to try and get everyone to cooperate to keep the public chats English

But right now I am deeply concerned with the population of several country based servers

especially because there will be no cross dungeons.

If in the end they have to merge the servers then the problem you speak about is bound to happen anyway

so why not right of the bat make people aware that there will be only english servers so they can at least try to adjust from the get go.

At the moment all of this is conjecture and theorising anyway.

The game hasn't even been released for Beta yet and as far as I'm aware there hasn't been an official release date set for anyone to start booking time off work for release.

I'm sure that if they are as involved as I'd like to believe that the team sees threads like this and considers it.

Although I'm not sure how likely something like cross-dungeoning will be as I'm not sure how much they'd have to change/deviate from the original version of the game it'd be nice to have the option, sure.

And lol, you can't tell people that servers are gonna be "English Only" because that's basically a challenge to certain people to break the rules.

Also, even if they merge the servers later, at least they can do it after the initial "omg a new game!" buzz where by then people who've lost interest and such can drop off and even some premium property names might be freed up for people to use.

You're worried about communities dying out before they've even had a chance to gather and form. There's every chance that certain foreign communities could thrive and compete with the English ones of their region. You don't know.

As much as it's good to be prepared for the worst case scenario it's waaay better to be prepared in case interest is greater than expected. Having to prepare for a future server merge when population settles a few months after release is a lot less painful to a company than having to deal with an overloaded server that's at full capacity with a load of angry players who say they can't play at all due to lag etc.

Yes of course you make valid points and I do agree with you overall.

I did not mean to say the servers should be english only language, I meant global EU servers.
Not dividing people by country like it is now because as much as it is speculations for now, I do think it's better

to have people aware and adjust ahead of time that they will be sharing the server with multiple countries and multiple languages.

We only have Germany/Spain/France/Italy and Poland so the english server will consist of all the rest of the european countries

that do not fit in that category so many countries already have to adjust to that anyway, so why divide the other 5?
Only for them to possible merge back in? I don't know, it just seems rather silly to me.
If they wish to have enough servers they can just make several global EU servers too.

The servers aren't being divided by country, though? Each server for corresponds to a common language people can gather/socialise over with many other smaller countries/languages being close enough a linguistic relative that they can also join that server if they want to rather than "they're just left with English".

Like Portuguese people will probably have a better time on a Spanish server if they're not fluent in English because in writing they share a lot of words and can understand each other. I also know that there are a lot of similarities among certain Eastern European languages which include Polish (I have a Lithuanian friend who learned Russian and Polish by ear literally because of the similarities to his own language) so several different communities could end up gathering on the PL server 'cause it's easier.

Just because there isn't a server that doesn't obviously cater to you by name doesn't mean that English is your only option.

Display More

Oh but the English server caters to me so this isn't about me personally. If there was a server for my language then I would

not even join it simply because I like to be part of a bigger community.

I personally think more people have that mindset as well which is why I am slightly concerned simply because it does not

support a cross dungeon feature so every server has to survive by their own population.

If they would have supported that system then I would maybe have supported their current server strategy.

Also you started out saying you like the servers this way because you noticed in many games people group up with others

from their language and segregate themselves from those who do not. I feel this is going to happen even more if GF realises the

population is weak and throw them with the EN server. I think the EN server will develop itselves with people knowing they will play

with others who speak another language and most will adjust to that. Now if they suddenly throw the other servers in it

who are used to only speaking in their own language and playing with those who do too, I wonder how much they will adjust.

They didn't have to 'respect' other players who did not understand them all this time and now they suddenly will have to.

I will feel like it will just be german/spanish/italian etc communities seperating themselves from the rest even though we are

one big server then.

But hey I might just be overthinking this and maybe it will all work out in the end but until I see how things develop with

my own eyes I will remain slightly skeptical.

Because NA is gonna have to house everyone and their mums, aunts, and uncles. Even EU players who want to hang in American time/groups.

Basically we're gonna see both what happens when you put everyone on one server, and spread everyone across many.

I'm talking about written which is the main way people are going to communicate with each other ingame through shared words and grammar. I know that Portuguese is the harder language to learn/understand speaking wise but a lot of time when writing you can find common words and similarities where you can understand better than just settling for somewhere you have no understanding at all of what's being said.

If the individual is not fluent in English it would be easier for a Portuguese speaker to communicate with a Spanish speaking-community in writing than it would be to just go to the English server because there's no specific Portuguese server.

I was using it as an example not as a conclusive answer.

I'll be fair and say that I'm not Portuguese but Cantonese/British but I used Portuguese/Spanish because we have an ES server even if it was a bit kak handed. English may be easier but I think some people find certain things easier than others and it also depends on where you grow up and what you're exposed to IRL. People who live near borders or in big cities would probably find it easier to adjust/adapt to different dialects and languages.

The point of what I was trying to say is that even if not every country in Europe gets their own server to chill with their own people that going to EN isn't their only option because who are we to assume that they might not know another language well enough that they'd rather go there.

In my opinion it's just a bad idea to go for that many Europe servers while only launching one NA server.

There will be a huge player discrepancy especially for the national servers. I don't think the smaller national communitys like the polish one will survive for longer than one year.

Of course theres the possibility to merge servers but that isn't necessary good for the game. When people want to start playing the game in a later point of time they will care about how alive the game still is. In that case reading about server merges will make them not play the game in most cases.

I think they should've gone for at least 2 NA servers and maybe only 3 EU servers. IMO the french and german communities might be the only ones which can keep a server alive. Nothing makes people unable to play with people from their mother language in certain guilds on the global (EN) server.

Yeah exactly they can merge servers but by time they do that they already lost players because of that " Mistake "

server balance seems off blanced

Well it totally matters if you play on the english server or the polish server. Both will be located (most likely) in germany as gameforge is a german company.
It is just about the language.

Assuming they're planning on making one for each server, wouldn't it be more of a latency issue rather than a regional issue?

Like, if the EU and NA servers were merged, and the server was located in EU west, I would not enjoy playing this game at 100ms+ worth of ping.

I wish more did

PS. you're really trying to get that post count high huh?

My fear lies within the lack of players in EU *cough* Elsword *cough*.

But this game shouldn't have any problems with the lack of EU players.

I hope...
