I was wondering if there could be a easier way to swap inbetween the NA and EU servers.

In order to play on both server we have to install the game twice.
While it's only a matter of re-routing the connection information.

So now I am currently installing the NA client since I gave up on the average intelligence of the average EU player needing to deal with a long endles progress of installing and downloading the game again. While I have EU coppy installed with the exact same data.

    Er... copy the game files from ...The Elder Scrolls Online EU folder to The Elder Scrolls Online folder. Launch the client, switch server, and click repair - it should just verify the files, no need to actually download all the files a second time. ("Average intelligence of the average EU player", hahaha, very funny).

    If it really was only a mater of wich server to talk to there would not be two different clients. That is a ton of extra work for the programmers.

    At any given time NA and EU server can run totally different versions of the game. This is usually only the case if one has received a patch while the other has not yet (so only for a few hours). The same way PTS and live servers need different files, live and liveeu need different ones.
    But to get that properly done it needs one completely client per Server.

    And Epona has a good point. I think back in beta the launcher used to actually take files from other clients instead of downlaodign them where possible. But that was removed (propably not save enough in case of file corruptions).
    Manually copy, switching to NA server and repairscan should be able to do it savely.
