Hi, so currently i'm on NA but lately i've experienced lag, to the point that its noticeable, keep in mind that my fibre is fast so i've never encountered issues. Sometimes my light attack doesn't register etc.
I was wondering whether moving to EU will have a better ping count?

    Europe is closer to Africa. Maybe try that one.

    in my understanding, the decisive factor is the "peak" times, as this is the MMO, after all
    to find a group for dungeon, to do harder world bosses - you need other players
    and EU times are better for Africa, than NA
    though if you play it completely solo - select the server with lower ping.

    Everyone always has access to both EU and NA servers, all you need to do is choose which one you want to connect to when logging in, so you can try it yourself and see if it's any better.

    One thing to bear in mind is there's no way to transfer anything between servers. Anything you buy outside the game like ESO+ or chapters purchased on the website will be available on both, but anything purchased or obtained in the game like crown store purchases (including chapters) or your characters and items in the bank will only be on the one server and there's no way to move them across. Also your crown balance is shared across both - if you spend crowns on the EU server they'll be gone from NA as well, but the items will only be on EU.

    That may not be a big deal for you, but it's worth considering if you're planning to switch servers.

    You are not “switching server” you are adding the other one. Everything you created is still there when you log in to the original server. I play on both NA and EU every day. Sure, buying some things twice is a pain, but getting 8 characters on each kind of offsets that.

    not really, its quite irritating if you only had the means of purchasing an item once
