Ane WHY are the server maintenance always during daytime in EU server? We sure "love" to wait the server to open when we have our day off from work. If you can not move the server to EU physically, what was promised, do make sure you maintain in during U.S DAYTIME while EU is sleeping. Our money is sure as green as U.S money too !!!
No it hasn't been forgotten, the game was only released two weeks ago and has serious problems, it makes perfect sense for the servers to remain in the US until the game is stable.During beta Zeni promised that for eu player there will be a server who will be located in eu ( germany was prononced )
Actually this point is completely forgotten.
Eu player suffering lag, freeze, deconnection are waiting for the data-center to move in EU.
So when about it ? Can wa have news for it ?
Are you planning to let the Eu server in US ?

See, even after ZOS changed the EU maintenance time to not be during EU prime time, there's still people who complain that they now can't play during the weeee hours of the morning.
Proof that you can't make everyone happy with maintenance times.

After the first "free" month ZOS will wait another one or two months to see how many subs are left. Then they will realize there aren't enough to justify two servers. So, EU and NA will get merged.
Just my thoughts:

The EU server is being moved to Frankfurt as soon as they get the datacenter there up and running. It's a rather large project, this isn't something like 2 guys throwing a computer in a truck and moving it.
Basically, they had 2 choices, and I think they picked the best one.
1) They could have delayed the launch of the EU server until the datacenter in Frankfurt was ready. They could've said "You can play on the NA server until then, but you won't be able to play those characters on the EU server when we launch it"
2) What they actually did - they launched the EU server at the same time by temporarily locating it in the US datacenter, said the latency will be a bit worse, but you can play now, and when we get the Frankfurt datacenter up and running, you can still play all your characters.
I think they made the right decision. They let the EU people play without having to wait, AND they get to keep their characters once everything is moved. Getting a datacenter up and running in another country is NOT an easy project, especially for a company that doesn't have offices all over the world.

Until they move the server and a whole new host of issues arises.No it hasn't been forgotten, the game was only released two weeks ago and has serious problems, it makes perfect sense for the servers to remain in the US until the game is stable.
Not had any latency/lag issues on this game yet, but I know from SWTOR that it exists, delay from pressing the buttons to the action occuring got several SWTOR characters killed repeatedly. It does exist, but the extent varies from game to game and person to person, to the extent that player A finds game1 playable and game2 unplayable, while player B finds it the other way around.I'm playing from the UK without any 'lag' issues caused by internet latency. The "lag, freeze, disconnection,etc." problems are clearly mostly server-side and the location of those servers is pretty irrelevant in most cases.
It's a perennial moan from EU players when playing on US servers, I've played WOW on the West Coast servers since 2005, I play LOTRO and Rift on US servers without any noticeable problems, I play FFXI on servers in Japan, I play FFXIV with servers in Canada likewise.
The 'internet latency' issue is largely myth and urban legend it seems to me.

TBH, do you know what made me not trust the future of the EU server? A small detail... The intended absence of any ping meassurement that allow less "techy oriented" users to link latency spikes (And average latency) with the ingame effects ANY remote client can't mask, doesn't matter how smart its protocol is.

The difference between 350/400 ms and 40/60 ms is not a myth for me.

Indeed, LOL. That guy...
On a serious note, I'm kind of glad they're taking their time. They could've done it hastily like it was done with TERA. Picked Frogster (now Gameforge) to handle Europe, and the rest was an unmitigated disaster. It's reassuring that things are being done properly this time around.
Not that I don't support you getting an OCE server, but the EU server was announced before this game was launched, OCE one wasn't.PerfectTemplar wrote: »If you get an EU server, we get an OCE server. We in Australia/NZ play on the same latency as you guys.
I do not support unless we get treated the same way.
