You obviously have played there if you really beleive any of those myths are trueOohhoO wrote:I played on the US servers.
I couldn't really imagine ever going back there.
Several reasons:-
1) Time zone difference.
... Raids start in the middle of the night Euro time
... Downtime is ALWAYS at Euro playing time
... Lack of players at Euro playing time
2) Mentality of the players
... Americans are often wierd IMO
... Americans are often REALLY wierd IMO
... The longer you get to know them the wierder they become (IMO)
3) etc
In other words no, they took the weekend off cos they really don't give a shitGahn wrote:From FH :

A: Not around the clock litterally, as in 24/7, but I can assure you we have worked on it as much as we could and it continues to be our biggest priority."
Such political language, means all and nothing
To each their own IMO.Xest wrote:You obviously have played there if you really beleive any of those myths are true
Plenty of euro raids on each cluster seeing as like 70% of people on US servers aren't actually from the US the servers are pretty multi-national and I meet as many euros as I do yanks. I'm not sure where all the phobias of yanks come from, whilst George Bush is indeed a gigantic penis, most the yanks who voted for him are red-neck uneducated types who wont find their way on the internet anyway, amusingly most yanks on the US servers are more intelligent, but of course, like with any server be it euro or US you get your fair share of idiots. You can't pretend all yanks are dumb just because George Bush got into power, that just means half of them are dumb
Downtime is more often than not over by the time I get home from work - Mythic don't take entire days to patch like GOA, usually only a couple of hours and they start about 12:00 - 14:00 GMT.
As for lack of players at euro time, wtf are you on about? The US clusters/servers are nearly always bigger off-peak than Excal or Prydwen is on-peak. Only the French/German servers are bigger, but that doesn't help English speaking players.
Of course the other main advantage of the US servers is Mythic doesn't fuck them up like GOA do and make them go down for like 6 days
Don't think I've met anyone who's really tried US servers and thinks euro servers are better to be honestI know a few have left US to go back to their friends and such which is fair enough, but I think even they'll agree the US service is a far, far better one. The euro servers are inferior in so many ways and GOA just provide a constant stream of screw-ups regarding the running of the euro servers be it the hacking, the charging of cancelled accounts, the multi-day downtimes, the lack of a real support mechanism, the constant and recurring lag issues, the added obscure bugs that were never in the US version... need I go on?
Only logical and valid reasons to play euro is if you think you'll lose touch with your friends by moving to the US servers which is admittedly a pretty big issue for some if they don't use MSN, IRC and such and also if you make use of the French, German and Spanish language versions. I would've included Italians in that but there's bigger Italian communities on some US servers than there is on GOA's Italian servers, funny that - can't think why!
Pretty much agree, thought of giving em benefit of doubt LOLXest wrote:In other words no, they took the weekend off cos they really don't give a shit
Yes but you've come up with no valid argument as to why they're better, the points you stated are common misconceptions and in reality are just outright untrue.OohhoO wrote:To each their own IMO.
I played US intensively from release until about a year ago & I MUCH prefer the EU servers.
There's simply no way I'd go back to the US servers as long as there are European servers, no matter what the service is like.
