"Alright, radarx, tell the EQ2 and DCUO guys we fixed their problems..."

RadarX - "but.. what about the PS2 guys?"

"Ah, right... those guy... hmm tell them something as well"

And btw, thanks for keeping in touch with the community RadarX!

Also, i think people are slightly underestimating the effect ping will have.

We know the game is much more faster paced, and the faster the pace the bigger the ping issues get. In PS1 at the moment i have about 120 ping and i hardly notice any difference, only when i'm trying to Snipe.

However, from the little bits of shooting that i've seen in PS2 - i think 100+ MS when everyone else is playing at 20~ will be a significant disadvantage.

However it gets done, it got done and hopefully everyone can be happy now and we can focus on more important things... Like playing the game!

I'd rather have 100+ ms on a international server than playing on a EU server with pro7.

I'm sure it was EQ2 -> DCUO -> EQ1 -> Hello Kitty Island Adventure -> PS2.

Also found this on: http://eq2wire.com/2012/02/27/john-s...n-all-servers/

UPDATE from Zatozia:

Hey there! We have a status update on this topic for you. A solution to keep the communities together is now in the works! We’ll be providing more details about the solution with an official announcement a bit later but we wanted to let everyone know that it was coming as soon as we could. Thank you all for your great feedback on this topic.

UPDATE from Piestro:

Just to elaborate a bit on what Zat said above, last week we let you know that we were working on finding a solution to the EU/US community split. This morning Smed has confirmed we have found a solution to avoid needing the split and are working to make this a full reality.

Smed wanted to let you know as speedily as possible, and tweets are an easy way to do so. It wasn’t a stretch to guess that it would quickly be reposted to the relevant communities. We’ll have more details later as we get them. I’ll clarify a bit right now and say that “All players” in Smed’s tweet specifically referred to all players potentially impacted by the ProSieben deal.

As for further concerns, yes we continue to listen to what you all have to say and are in communication about many of them. Clarification and further communication on many of these concerns is also in the works, but those are seperate issues from the EU server issue and we wanted to get communication about that as quickly as we could.

Please put ping restrictions in the game and just let us join any server we want if our ping is low enough. I think a 250ping limit is fair enough.

IronMole · 2012-02-27, 03:49 PM

No limits, no restrictions.

Stop crying.

Bags · 2012-02-27, 03:55 PM

Ironmole, I don't think someone with 250 ping would be willing to endure that torture to play with friends unless they did a fairly non combat role like engineering.

No offense to you RadarX, I realize you're a mouthpiece for SOE, but this is a prime example of why PS2 is going to end up in the shitter just like PS1 did. SOE could give 2 squats about PS on the whole besides what it can bring to the bank receipts.

If it wasnt for EQ/DCUO this would of never been even discussed after the fact. SOE hasnt even seen the dress we have on and they want to take us out to the barn to suck hind tit.

Oh I do love assumptions.

Ragefighter · 2012-02-27, 04:05 PM

The servers are in San Diego correct?
or will there be one in the eastern states?

from NY to LA using http://pingtest.net/

and the "best connection" 150mi NY to PA
http://www.pingtest.net/result/57820915.png

I assume the people getting 20ms are not 2500+ miles away? =p

of course this is just a ping test and not "the server" so who knows...
