Those are the new options with the new launcher.

I think it's weird too @Kirameku - I don't know why they wouldn't have standardized it to Live NA and Live EU.

Silly. You can't live in North America and Europe at the same time.
Silly boy.

In client you have to choose 1 of 2 servers - live and live EU.

And now they are forcing me to play on NA, hmmm

I find it kind of odd that the ESO launcher has the "server/service" menu labelled "Games"... does ZOS have a plan to add other titles to the launcher down the road?

As for the "The Elder Scrolls Online (NA)" label in the launcher, this is meant to be fixed sometime down the line and changes to the label there might mean changes to the "Live" and "Live-EU" selections in the client. I can hope that this will mean simpler labels in the launcher, since we can only see two title there are the moment: "The Elder Scrolls Online (NA)" and "The Elder Scrolls Online (PTS)", possibly something like "Live" and "Testing"

On the basis that making these things as obvious as possible may be the server labels in the client will end up being "North America" and "Europe", since the client is the one for the ESO Live service.

If these are the things that grind your gears when it comes to ESO, I think your life is *** bliss.

I asked the same question in "ESO PC/Mac Launcher Issues – Update 12" thread.
I received a response.

This display error is still confusing even though the server selection is within the in-game login screen.
The server selection on launcher should be "The Elder Scrolls Online" without the (NA).
Also, the server selection within the in-game login screen should be "Live-NA" and "Live-EU", since there is no prime or favorite server and thus "Live" isn't appropriate.
It makes the NA server as default.
Please fix it.

It will be fixed in Monday's incremental patch.

If I remember correctly it's actually been this way since the game came out, it's just been less noticeable.

Before this update if you wanted to play on both servers on PC you had to have two separate sets of files installed, and they used the same naming system - Live and Live-EU. But it didn't seem to bother anyone until the update.

And they've already said they're going to fix it so it shouldn't be a problem much longer.

(Then all we'll need to worry about is in two years time when some people start asking for a separate UK server because we're not part of the EU, even though the server name is short for Europe.)
