Will mythic be smarter since daoc?

Gleeb

my question is... will there be english servers in europe not in a million years from now?

or do i need to try and play the -9 hours time diffrence again?

i moved from daoc becouse of that....

anyone know if there will be europe servers too for english speeking?

   With the large British fanbase for Warhammer, I think it would be stupid of Mythic not to have them.

What on earth are you talking about, I played ont he english euro servers for years. There were always english euro servers. The fact that there were french and german servers too does not mean the english servers were flipping invisible. It is IMPOSSIBLE ot have missed them, unless you did it on purpose to have somehtng to complain about. IMPOSSIBLE to miss them

 

Edit: Sorry.. Reading through your others posts, with your questions and little problems then yes.. You might have missed them. Noone else.. but you actually might manage to miss the english servers. My mistake

actualy its very funny that you think i didnt know becouse i actualy got TOA ranger there level 48.

anyways... i played daoc since beta. and only after 8 months or so they managed to get the EU servers open... and each time i had a patch with the us servers it took it 4 months to get to the EU servers....

 

yes. with regard to this i dont trust mythic. they fucked it up with daoc i dont want them to fuck it up with this. i loved daoc they know theyr way around a MMO thats for sure! awsome pvp and pve each time

Mythic shouldn't even make french or german servers. It will be like it is with daoc, english servers will hold on for few years but then those german servers are biggest again and english people will go to US servers.... Maybe I'm just too sceptical, who knows

I could have sworn that I saw a Dev say that WAR would have euro servers, and will be updated at the same time as the US servers... but it could have been just someone on these forums. :S

This is true, a dev did say this. However, I do not remember when nor where. :P

Q. Will Europe and the US receive patches at the same time?

A. Not only will the game be released in the US and Europe simultaneously but patches and expansions will also reach both groups of players at the same time.

GOA will be handling European distribution and operations, just like they did with DAOK.  www.war-europe.com had this bit:

Q. What languages are being targeted for initial release?

A. Initially the game will support English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

I'm guessing that means there will be servers for each of those.

It would certainly behoove them to get support for Mandarin/Cantonese and Korean as soon as possible. Sadly, those markets mean a lot more than ours, potentially. WoW, for example, has more players in China alone than in North America. In fact, I think China makes up roughly half of its subscribers, total. That means if they could only have one market, assuming they make the same amount off of Chinese subscriptions, they would choose China.



My point is that to be massively successful, expanding into Asian markets is a must. Online gaming is more developed and socially accepted there, and the population is massive.

That doesn't make much sense. You say they shouldn't have german or french servers because they did better than the english euro servers. The only reason they did better is because there is quite a number of people who prefer to play games in their native language.



People didn't quit the english servers because there were german and french servers that had more people.They quit because they had to wait for patches expansions and new server types forever. I think DAoC was not made with possible localization in mind. It took them forever to apply new translated patches. And they chose that the european english servers had to wait too. THAT was the stupid move IMO. Why would anyone want to play on a outdated version when he could play the newest version in the same language?Higher ping?

Different Prime Time?Not much of a reason.



It sucked having everyone know any imbalance half a year before it happened, so people could be ready and exploit it from the first day.



The delay pretty much killed the euro classic servers. First we didn't know if we'd get one at all, many relocated to the US servers then. After that we'd have to wait for weeks and then before they even opened them up, everyone knew of the "TOA NERF" patch.



I'm not putting up with that kind of stuff again. They're either all running on the same version or I'll be playing on the Mythic Servers.

Maybe I'll play there anyways - just in case.

I'll just begin playing in the U.S servers right away just in case GOA manages to screw everything up again
