I'm curious about what proportion of the regular ESO players are from the APAC region (I am, btw, I'm in Melbourne, Australia). Does anyone know of a site that gives this geographical distribution of ESO players ?LadyLethalla wrote: »I wish it wasn't scheduled for when it is, because April 5th is my birthday and I have the day off. Get some gaming in, right? Nope. The maintenance is from midday until 10pm. So thanks. Thanks for that. A bunch.
Off-topic: Although I would be very sad to see people go, and it is likely that people I play with weekly and often multiple times a week would go, an APAC ESO server would I think be a blessing in the long run.
Some of our weekly trial runs finish at 3AM for them, during regular working days.
Also, happy birthday in advance.
On-topic: I have a fair amount of misgivings for this upcoming maintenance; I don't really share Gina's optimistic excitement.
The last few events PC/EU has skipped the traditional 'PC/EU dead' troubles that had been commonplace in previous years (and garnered far less empathy and consideration from ZOS I may add despite being common and abundant); I was hoping that this would continue to be the case, but given how it turned out for PC/NA the chances of going back to the 'not very good old days' for PC/EU seem to me pretty high.
I can only hope that they prove my misgivings unwarranted.
I am also in Melbourne and from my almost 7 years' experience in this game Australians and New Zealanders seem to be a very small part of the population. On PS/EU I knew 2 of each and all but one left; on PC/EU we actually have a guild with a number of Oceanic players but the numbers have dwindled of late.x-TallyCat-x // PC EU DC - For the Covenant! // ESO Platinum trophy - 16th May 2017.

I've met just a few on PC EU who are from Australia.
On PC NA (secondary server I play on) I joined an AUS/NZ guild (495/500) as my playing times coincide with theirs and I know it's only one of many Australian guilds on the server.

Oceanic players asked for an Oceanic server for years. ZOS finally made a formal statement saying that it was never going to happen. The reason they gave was that the players would not enjoy the experience of a reduced population server.
Coz that laggy playing from the other side of the world feeling is so great....

It's odd that their response just mentioned "ANZ", given that the Oceanic aka APAC region is so much larger than that. The APAC population is much, much larger than the Australia + NZ population.Off-topic: Although I would be very sad to see people go, and it is likely that people I play with weekly and often multiple times a week would go, an APAC ESO server would I think be a blessing in the long run.

or did they reuse the broken "network card" from NA on EU?

✭✭✭✭✭Don’t worry, it’s just a failing hardware port. Probably the same one on the EU server that was going bad on the NA server. Mr Firor said everything was back to normal after they fixed it, so be patient. I’m sure they are replacing it as quickly as they can.

Regardless of the reasons your team may THINK, please for the love of playability, can you just delay the pc eu sharding until pc na runs smoothly for at least a week?

I wonder if they'll avoid commenting this time (behaving as if nothing happened) or will be able to pop up another silly excuse like the "network port" one 😆If only one of us had warned them and asked them to reconsider... oh wait.

Yep... some of our guildies are from India for instance, which is the APAC region too.
I don't know what the uptake of ESO is like over there, but is a large population yet still only a fraction of the APAC region.
Selfishly I quite enjoy having one megaserver, but because I get to reap all the benefits (larger population, joining in with beautiful people from all latitudes, larger skill pools etc) with none of the drawbacks (latency, awkward schedules, very inconvenient maintenance times etc) but perhaps this is not the fairest option.Edited by ApoAlaia on April 7, 2022 10:01AM0 -
