Can't believe this anti-goa thing still lives so strongly over here

europe vs us
They did open a new 9 mil data-center in Ireland so would surprise me if they would host it from Paris .

Well, it's gonna be fun to see how it goes on EU Servers for WAR but couple things that Ian mentioned that are quite obvious:
- GOA is not the same company it was when DAoC was released. Tons more people there now.
- DAoC was not designed to be multi-langual, WAR is.
- Mythic and GOA gained much experience with DaoC and that's not only related to technical stuff.
- GOA won't be as restricted as before by legal fluffy-stuff.
As for the Pros & Cons from Hoonius, well, some might have applied to DAoC (though we had some good times right?...right? :/) but might not hold for WAR EU as far as I can see.
- They already announced 24/7 support but while that can mean faster response time, it mainly means that more people complain for no reason. In 15 years playing MMOs as a gamer, I had to contact support 4 times and everytime, I actually solved (or ended up ignoring) my problem alone and this was with 24/7 ingame support in 3 different MMOs.
- Client performance is the same (Mythic compiles, not GOA).
- If you get way more latency routing to Paris/Lille than routing to Seattle, complain to your ISP. But as Xest said, latency is pretty much the same worldwide for MMOs nowdays so that's a moot point.
- Population will more than likely be higher if you play on EU servers than on the US servers as a EU fella, unless you're like..a vampire or something!
That flash website sucks though, always did!! But then, I'm a flash-hater so not very objective there
