Just wondering where the locations of where the world servers will be based in PS2?
Being somewhat selfish, I'm hoping for at least a European server but I know folks down under were always left a million miles from a local server so could use one in their region. Also, will server population indicators make a return? |

Lol, surely you jest?!
So yeah suffice to say if they have only 3 servers to go by yet again it will simply be dysfunctionial, so at the very least we should have: EU servers, west coast east coast (wouldn't mind a central server) and oceanic/whatever. ![]() Last edited by Sovereign; 2011-08-04 at 08:50 AM. |

I'd prefer as few as possible, depending on the game's scale. The internet and computer power is quite a lot better these days than it was for PS1, don't go in with a defeated mindset.
So a single north america server, one for the eurozone and one down near the aussies (japan?). And probably one in china, but I doubt the outside world gets in on that action much.

I must admit I do quite like a single server as you feel united and not missing out on the fun elsewhere. However the 100ms ping coupled with the 1 empire per server rule would be pretty negative points

So have it in a succinct format like this: US:1west:2east EU:1:2 Oceanic:1:2 Not the overly gross format that you would see in Rift where they have far too many.. Last edited by Sovereign; 2011-08-04 at 11:51 AM. |

And no one has said anything about a 1 empire per server rule carrying over, IIRC.

Higby hinted that initially there won't be that many continents, so there will have to be quite a few servers. However, after release and after more continents are added, fewer servers might be warranted as each server could accommodate more players.
But I'm with you--as few servers as possible, but still span the globe. |

The only other game I know that uses a single shard server cluster is eve. And the best way it works is by having them all in a single cluster(i.e. the same location). If they choose to have a single shard my bets is it would be on the East coast of the US. My pings dont get to bad when the trans Atlantic cable hasnt been cut and Hell, look at all the Chinese players that go through several proxies just to get on the US server and they dont seem to mind.

I vote 1 server at Antarctica, 1 in RSA and 1 server underwater in pacific ocean. This is win. 1 thing for sure - if this game is going to be F2P...
...(IT IS NOT, OTHERWISE I'LL EAT SOMEBODY'S BABIES)... ...then any letters other than latin should be prohibited on a EU server. |
