Are there any plans of merging US / EU Servers together? (devs please answer)

I think this new system will make things even worse for me as i am pretty far behind in DLCs.. on top of that there aren’t many ppl in EU server so good luck to me trying to run these old stuff right?

I play either at pretty early/ late times because of my job, you most likely wouldn’t even be playing 90% of the times that i login.. that’s why i want a merge for more players, i know US players are on at these times and active.. EU isn’t..

Their goal appears to be to force long term players into older content which in theory will help new and returning players to play that content. In theory you should benefit from this.

It remains to be seen how this will play out in reality. I think initially it will work out as players decide how they feel about the changes. Over time, I think long term players will get frustrated having to play clamped older content though and will only play the bare minimum or the easiest content they can to get the source marks they might need.

I wish they spent the time to work on something that’s actually more beneficial.. but oh well i guess too late for that..

So what is your solution to mid day updates that would interrupt gameplay on EU? Move the NA server maintenance time back to 1am NA when plenty of people are still playing?

My time right now is 13:46, in France right now it is 20:46. Right now there are some EU players, but once all the NA players log on in about 4-5 hours it will be near midnight for EU. What kind of solution do you have that makes NA and EU play at the same time? Because it would seem that because of a large time difference it would be impossible to balance both of them except on the weekends.

We all want the game to be better, and nothing but issues will come out of a worldwide merge.

Lol why all of this confusion? If a merge is too much for you to happen then they can just SIMPLY allow EU players to connect to US servers as they please while keeping all their progress, that way.. those that enjoy playing in a ghost town can stay in EU and those that wanna connect and continue playing in a more populated server can move over to the US server.

Sounds fair, no?

I think you’re already able to join the NA servers from EU, aren’t you?

I was talking about a character transfer, not start over from scratch.. i’d prolly never play this game ever again in my life if i had to start over from 0.

Edit: My main solution was a server merge but people love to complain lol, idk exactly how a merge would happen and be implemented but perhaps the Devs could find a way to somewhat connect both servers together without issues

I wouldnt mind if EU joined US, but as noted there would have to be a few things done/fixed (economy, downtimes) and yeah i wouldnt hold my breath on that (still waiting on not only the supposed "deeper economy fix" but the ability to mail my cash to come back...almost 2 years later).

Transfers, they have said, is something they dont do but thats always been towards pc to console or vice versa, so i wonder if its got something to do with Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo saying no.

I have hope tho that maybe the console users can one day toggle between us/eu servers, and while transfers seem out of the question maybe we could get a clone of our US characters of EU(or the other way around).

Chances are pretty good that it won't happen for legal reasons. The EU has some very different laws and regulations and merging the two servers could give them headaches like you wouldn't believe.

Pointing out flaws in an idea or suggestion is not the same as complaining. When there are logistical or technical issues they can't just be ignored. That's not how things work.

So merging = no
Character transfer = no

What then? What’s an acceptable yes in this game?

Lol who tf plays on eu server? 7 people? 10 on a good day? Dont think theyd even waste their time merging eu with us they probably forgot it even exists

And that’s why my friend, I’m on here complaining for something to be done.

It’s just not ******* fair you know? But like you said, they don’t care about players like me why would they lol.
