some japanese alrdy play on the NA server, azura bow, they cool

Oceanic players get almost half of the latency to Japan than to North America, which is why a lot of Oceanic players play on the Japanese data server in FFXIV. This is unfortunate.

Why a whole server for such a small country?

AzraelKrieg · January 2016

I doubt it would be a server and more so a localisation.

Dantonian_Rarstiana · January 2016

It would be cool to go play on a fresh server. It's a shame they will he blocking.

127 million Japanese live in one of the most densely populated countries in the world. ..google is (can be) your friend!

i still think TESO is not japanese-type game..

imo

AzraelKrieg · January 2016

Between JRPGs, visual novels, various rhythm games and some bullet hell games, I don't see it doing well but I could be surprised.

Even not in the top-10 in the world.

What surprises me is that the Japanese version was seemingly only announced for PC/Mac. I always thought Japan was a hardcore console country and PCs were quite unpopular..

It's exactly the 10th.

China
India
USA
Indonesia
Brazil
Pakistan
Nigeria
Bangladesh
Russia
Japan

In spite of the populations, I would wager that there isn't really enough potential in Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Nigeria or Bangladesh to localize versions for those countries, due to interest, infrastructure and/or legal issues. Meanwhile, China, USA, Brazil, Russia and Japan often have localized versions of MMOs.

I was surprised to see that, too. I imagine there will be a console version as well. Maybe the PC version for Japan has been in the works since before the console launch in the West.

Does that mean I can buy gold from gold farmers now ?

Unassailable · January 2016

@JamieAubrey why you cant before?

Kalebron · January 2016

Or maybe not.

Bloodfang · January 2016

ESO limited edition (100€) is already a best seller on DMM.com (even though the game releases in more than 6 months), while ESO standard edition (60€) is #2 best selling game atm.

ZOS wouldn't do that if they weren't confident, or if they lacked the budget. They are clearly looking to expand.

In addition not just a localized version but a true server would make sense there. Japan and South Korea actually have the best intranet infrastructure concerning data transfer rates in the world.

Yes now Japan will feel our pain of a broken game,honesty they're version will probably be great.since you know we've been beta testing it for 2 yes for them.

Wolfshead · February 2016

So ZoS is go to do same misstake as Blizzard did it is funny that MMO company never learn Blizzard try to get in to Asian as well with WoW sure the got in but basically need change the whole game for Asian people are more in F2P model with microtransactions but hopeful ESO will do better.

But Western MMO have always hade hard time on Asian market.

I think Blizzard made the WoW Token simply because alot of people have an excess supply of gold in-game(I know I have at least around 5m gold in WoW divided by all my characters, and some in bank).

So I am practically wasting 20k(That's the price for WoW Token in my server) so its not a problem for me, plus 20k is easy to earn and fast.

I make like 200k Gold daily by predicting the market and stocking up supplies in AH, that and farming

It might not have a ip block, it would not make sense, to have it, well I can see them baring china but not other places, maybe North Korea as well but I think they might make it for the Asian community. Since they need a game to enjoy too.
Well them making a Japanese server means they are branching out into more world wide, they want to make as much money as they can.
Well, for places like Japen I think they want to make it simple, so they will do pc only. Because Japan might have there own console system that they don't want to toy with.

Since they got enough on their plate, not only do they have six mega servers, they have to make fixes to all of them, so it takes them awhile, to fix stuff. So basically they also have to fix the Japanese mega server. Which means longer waits for bug fixes. They might want to release the two dlcs thieves guild and dark brotherhood before they add the Japanese server to the mix. Which is the main reason they delayed it they might have delayed it.

North Korea?- Seriously?- A country, where people can just have one of the few hair cuts, which are given by law?- No, they cannot play ESO, this would be subversive to see, that you can have choice in hair styles. Ridiculous but true.

Thank you for deciding that on behalf of the Japanese people.

DuckNoodles · February 2016

I would like to see some japanese class builds, they will master this game.

I Love Japan, can't wait to go back to Tokyo.
