Well they got about a week to talk about the EU server and transfers there. They’ll most likely still be fine regardless, but like FFXIV miss out on a lot of EU players who will just skip the game.
You seem to be quite proud of being european. But you forget that you cant speak for everyone that lives in the many EU countries. Please dont make this a EU vs US argument.
Because the real argument is
The people with sense:[quote]
Well, not the best solution, but they did made sure it was an East Coast server, which is pretty much the best location for a single server. The ping for EU players will be much less then it would be for West Coast/Canadian. EU location would be best, but for now East Coast is good enough.[/quote]
The people who need some rest and ahould perhaps reread the topic after that:
I don’t mind playing on a East Coast server, as the ping is actually pretty decent from Europe (110ms), however, I would hate having to see a Europe server pop up a month later and be forced to reroll there and lose my founder benefits.
I say we need to take over a server instead of waiting for IMC. I nominate Gabija (assuming she will show up on opening day).
Uh… I’m playing from Brazil, and yeah, I’ll be getting 130~ping, like what I got in icbt2. I had no issues playing the game with that ping.
The people “with sense” will just wait a month and not pay anything, since as written above, the founder’s pack won’t be trasferable to an eventual european server. And their stance so far has been about not allowing transfers between servers, so a player wanting to play on that european server would have to start anew and without the founder’s pack, even if he bought it.
At most, if one really wants to try the game early, he could waste his money on the lowest tier. And that’s it. There is no incentive for european players to take any other tier, since it’s wasted money either way.
THis ^ , just ever decide , imc did the INTERNATIONAL Server , or just retarded USA server ? I dont wanna play with 200 ping , lags , spikes , wtf with this world ? Are the f***ng usa the center of world ? pffff

i really hope all buy pack give Eu server for more Buying pack for more long live for TOS !
I don’t think you get it. If you buy the pack it only works in the NA server.
Why would I buy a pack for an NA server?
No confirmations yet. Not throwing money blindly.
Worst thing is to do what you said.

In voting Russian and CIS like a European countries or like a Asian? 
I upvote this because i hope to be able to play with low ping and I wanted to buy the big pack for me and the little one to a friend of me but we don’t wanna play on NA server as EU we deserved one !!

yaaay you right dude !
since i started this i want to add some facts:
So far IMC hosted their server on AWS. Since many of you might have never worked with it, let me explain a bit. AWS is a server virtualization from Amazon. This means you don’t rent a physically server, it is created virtually on a server farm. It acts like a real server, you have full access, but it is just virtual. The benefits here are that you can launch a server in a matter of seconds and you can also scale its computing power, ram etc. in such a short time frame.
So, why is this important? Quite simple. IMC is talking about launching additional worlds when needed. Which is the equivalent to launching a new virtual server. Now comes the interesting part: AWS has many different locations for the server farms, some also in EU. When you launch a new server you just select the region from a dropdown menu and BAM you got a server in EU, NA or where ever you want.
So this means that for IMC to launch 4 worlds in NA or only 3 in NA and 1 in EU is just one click of extra work. All of them need to be hooked up to the login server(i assume IMC has one server handling the logins of users) and for AWS it does not matter to which server farm they belong. They can all be connected. This might involve a few extra minutes of work because you need to create a new security group for the EU server but i have done this many times and can assure you this is about 1 h of work at most, if you are new to it.
So saying they cannot provide an EU server in such short time is not true IF they are still using AWS for the final release and IF they don’t have some other limiting factor like all worlds being on the same server and them launching a new world is just raising the hardware power of the virtual server (which i doubt because this would raise so many other problems in the future).
In short: AWS makes it super easy to add another EU based server, if they use common architecture.

110ms is seriously decent ping for you? o-O
Hey EU, we want you pay the most for our game. But i cant have any Eu-servers trollface
Considering the distance, yes it is. I’ve been playing kTOS with 600ms ping so it will be heaven for me on US East.

For those of us who arent spoiled, and remember playing with high lagspikes or truly high ping (400+), we realistically consider it decent ping, yes.
Ping is not fps. You wont have a noticable worse experience if your ping is 20 higher, as you would if your fps is 20 lower.
Ping isnt problematic untill it reaches around 200ms, 100ms in most games is quite comfortably playable. To be honest, most people would not even notice the difference between 100ms and 20ms.
I know man. Was corrected long ago in here:
Sry didn´t see it in here, especially missing it as reply under your post.
No worries. It was a post I made when we were insanely uncertain about a lot of things.
