The early access needs an EU server

Oh its you again. Well then, since you’re looking for enlightment I’ll help you out!

IMC is highly indebted and apparently got liquidity problems. The investors seem to demand results and steam wants to get paid beforehand as well. THATS what I can read from IMC’s behaviour alone already. They’re going for easy and cheap solutions to save money whenever possible. And now you demand an additional investment with adding another new infrastructure on another continent. Don’t you think thats kinda unrealistic, considering the financial situation of the company?

It was YOU who told me that tailored servers for different tasks are cheaper than big supersized jackofalltraits-servers, so having a farm of servers who handle different tasks are the most likeliest. Adding another “world” (as IMC calls the servers) is just adding another single server to the farm. Building up a new farm elsewhere is a whole different dimension coupled with high costs a company need liquidity for. And I cant see that for now, nor for the next months coming.

Aside the fact a company doesnt talk about it and our own experience from the cbt (server issues because too weak) you can assume they went as cheap as possible. On top of that, there is not the slightest relevance for any data. Just analyze the situation.

About server costs. Someone said they are using Amazon servers, and Amazon has EU server in UK. If it is true, IMC dont need to build another new infrastructure on another continent.

Also supporting the idea of a European server. To buy access to the OBT is not going to. Even for 10$, until you see the European server. To pay money for the slideshow, sorry

It is a little more complicated.
Let’s assuming that they’re using a farm model. First, we need to know if they need low latency between the servers (registering a text in a chat isn’t the same as registering a damage done by/to a player/mob).
Let’s assume they do, then they would need to have theses servers located in the same datacenter (as bandwidth/ping is usually better there).
That’s where things become more complicated. Moving “one server” (Laima/Gabija/Vakarine/whatever) to another location is easy. You only need to copy the data and configure the new IPs. But let’s assume that they’re using only one charserver for all the US servers. They would then need to shrink this server and take another one in EU (depending on their Amazon contract, it could mean canceling the current server and taking two new ones).

All of this is easy work for a seasoned sysadmin. Still, it’s work to do and it’s way more than “moving an Amazon server”.
You’ll have observed that I used the “assume” word a lot. Basically it means that all of this is internal imc tech management and, since they don’t give us any data regarding it (not that I’m expecting it), we haven’t a word to say on the technical matter (nor on the financial one).
The only thing that we can do is asking for an EU server because they could and should do it.

Yep i was really considering buying it, but now that i know we wont be able to transfer chars… play with 300ms and lose everything when BR server launch.

Noooope!

Will we be able to transfer our characters from NA server to EU server if it comes in the future? If not, then I’ll wait until EU servers open.

Definetly need a EU server in a reasonable time frame. Either for EA or for OBT with transfer.

I would buy the Founder package for $50 IF we got European servers.

As it stands, I might not even play the game because we lack European servers.
