Fact 1 - Darkfall is a european Product
Fact 2 - The current server environment can't be bought a second time, somewhere
Fact 3 - Money doesn't count
Fact 4 - Server environments and energy-stability are way worse east of the Atlantic
Fact 5 - Yes the majority of sold versions came from america, this has just to do with the different culture, Europeans dont buy unfinished products, they dont buy it just for betas and not for early access status.
Fact 6 - the US community is way more toxic (you know it yourself)
Fact 7 - UK is out, nearly no technical advantages compare to now, Brexit gives more disadvantages on the business side (compare to now)
Fact 8 - In 3-4 years Iceland get to both sides ( east and west) high speed light-wave cable and can become the new cluster.
Fact 9 - There was/is already a Darkfall - Server the Population dropped within 3 Month by nearly 80% (desicions need to be for a long term, not for a short shot - mmorpg in the US is going down, while growing in eu and Russia and asia)
Fact 10 - if you count 1 and 1 together, you have it

The first mid and longtime usable data's are just avaible 4-5 weeks or 2  months after the hard release of the Darkfall New Dawn Brand.

And no, the game is not ready for a release, RoA gave a very good example why it needs more time to implement the core features first, and not afterwards.

ofc not.

Fact 4 - Server environments and energy-stability are way worse east of the Atlantic

With Germans being so good at geography no wonder hitler started with Poland instead of France...
(Sarcasm inside, amiright?)

The fact is several people will still play regardless of where the server is based.

These reverse psychology posts are rather entertaining.

It seems more players want Paris, so I guess that will win. Sandbox local banking seems more suited to the European market!

Paris is the best option

At this point I would actually be ok with a NY server.. I prefer Paris ofc but ROA is playable with 100 ish ping and DND is gonna be smoother than that. So I dont really mind and tbh cant wait to get started this late autumn when it releases.
I think business wise its retarded to have two companies working on the same niche game and having them host it at the same place too, so thats a plus for EU servers in my book..

They may be the same "niche" game, but the development is almost a polar opposite.

Elite players, log on from  NA and let us know what you think with the changes Uber has made to the code...

the less Vets playing this game the better

will be boring to kick everyone's ass, don't you think?

Not More boring than loosing 5v1 as a noob to someone who played the game for 8 years.

You won´t have the advantage forever....and if there are 10 times more new players than Vets the new Players prolly will stay in this game because they fight most of the time each other and not get killed 24/7 by vets ( so its wrong to say all Vets are PvP Machines who will kill every new player easily). Best example BowJob Betty, he sticked to the game and now he beats most of the players on this server.

We need Ginger Magician, he will welcome fellow noobs accordingly.

Even a marginal loss of veterans will result in people like me winning this game.

Veterans with a grudge are critical to the survival of any Darkfall game, it is the only factor that keeps the scales in balance.

We've seen it before, when enough veterans leave that only one group remains, and out of boredom this group rolls over everyone else until the game dies.

Darkfall will never be a game where new players automatically transition into veterans. There is a massive drop-out rate, a majority group that will never be more than fodder. The answer to why this is so, is incredibly simple: The skill ceiling is ridiculously high, and if you want a Darkfall game that isn't dependent on a perfect player base, then you have to make the game more accessible and less complicated.

So you think the top Notch players focus on average Vet players ?
