Before you say "blah blah majority of players are EU", please hear me out. NCsoft screwed up the servers on GoD launch, and Innova sucks, I get that. Most L2 players are European, it's only fair that you have servers with Sieges and olympiad in Eurotimezones. But what's happened is NCsoft just made US servers at the launch of GoD, and EU players started playing there, so what we have is servers that are say 10-30% North American, which are not enough to be a majority, but are still enough to have our own server. Instead what NCsoft is doing right now is screwing over 20-30% of the population in favour of the majority, but they can easily please both of us, it's only common sense and I don't understand why they do not do this...
The reason I say Shilen, is because if you look at the votes right now for Siege time, Shilen has the most amount of US timezone votes, so NCsoft should open up transfers between Shilen and Magmeld/Bartz, to allow NA players to come to Shilen, and Euros to go to a Euro server.
So please understand, this isn't anti-democracy, I know most L2 players are Euro, and deserve their servers, but there are enough US timezone players to have our own server, where everyone can be happy. It doesn't make sense to have all 5 servers be Euro with a huge chunk of players being screwed over...Use some common sense please NCsoft (if that's possible).
Every server should have a timezone affiliated to it, this would enable players to make their characters on a server which would work best for their play time and not be faced with server events they are unable to play.
I re-rolled on Bartz from Chronos when it was created in hopes of escaping the overwhelming euro population only to be faced with an even greater one.
my suggestion: label each server with a timezone and open up server transfers from/to all servers and let people actually enjoy playing the game with people from similar timezones to make the game fair for all.
Also, where is the support from >> ncWEST << for WESTERN players? i haven't seen it...
Well look the bright side.
After all voting finish they will open new server offering free transfers and promise well be na times...then 1 month later will open voting to pick the times..then you end up with one more EU times server....
I'm european and playing on Naia, so this problem does not concern me any further than that. But I think OP is right, NA need their own server, even if they are a minority on this server right now, because NCsoft is NA, and with only euro timezone servers, US players couldn't enjoy the game.
Maybe allowing transfers to all servers from all servers during a week-end, and telling people which one will be euro timezone, and which one will be NA timezone would be the best NC can do.
About Cydonius, I think you are better than what you just wrote... Seriously, it's not about avengeance, it's about common sense and playing a game -.-
Nothing of that matters, once u wont be able to log in because of bots, so .... no point of making this post, first thing to be fixed is the bots, then u can resolve all your probleam in l2.
Most L2 players are European, it's only fair that you have servers with Sieges and olympiad in Eurotimezones.
Is that really true? Here on Chronos it feels fairly divided between EU, NA, and SA, along with rare people from asian or even other countries. I tend to play anywhere between USA prime time and EU prime - in the dead zone when few people are on, so I end up seeing both sides.
Is the assumption based on votes for the server times....? I ask this without having voted or checked, and I'm an NA player who would vote for 3 AM EST even if I did vote. xD
