why am I downloading eso NA? I play EU.

justinbarrett · October 2016

I play european server, I know we need to select the server in game now, but that is a lot of download for little to no changes to my gameplay experience aside from waiting an additional 12 hours(based on internet usage from others) I live in a house with children and a wife who need the internet also...I do not have a dedicated ESO connection....I will probably be cancelling my sub due to these irritation, the auto leveling nonsense etc.

You choose server once logged in.

where is the answer?...I already stated "I know we will select the server from in game"....as stated in my post.

this game is turning up to be less of a game made by game developers and more of a game made up by executives.....it's losing itself, in a really really bad way.

The answer is on post #21 of the patch note thread :

"We’ve made several updates and changes to the ESO patcher in this update.

The patcher will no longer have a selection for the NA and EU realms. Instead, the selection will now be made in-game.
You will receive a pop-up when you first log in after this update to choose a preferred realm.
If you have characters on both realms and frequently switch, you can find this option under Settings on the login screen.
Known Issue: The patcher will still display “The Elder Scrolls Online (NA)” as the main server. However, both NA and EU are accessible by selecting that realm. This will be fixed in a future patch."

Your question doesn't really make sense. You select the server when you launch the game, therefore there is no "downloading NA" vs "downloading EU" as you only have 1 installation for both after this update. So I don't know what you're asking, and that makes it difficult to figure out what answer you're looking for.
