Four servers?

From what I saw, there will be 4 servers running : 2 for East Coast and 2 for West Coast. One PvE and one PvP for each zone.

I guess europeans will have a better ping on the east coast one.

As I probably will too, since I'm on the Canadian Eastern area.

If you have some friends playing with you, make sure you'll all choose the same server in the same zone :D

    It's rather a good idea.

    Players from Europe and the East Coast will have a better ping on the East Coast Servers. Europe will have an almost direct connection to the servers through the oceanic cables going under the Atlantic ocean, instead of having to go through all the US continent to reach the West Coast.

    Players from the West Coast, Asia, Autralia, New-Zeland, etc...will have a better ping on the West Coast servers.

    I'll rather have 4 reasonnably populated servers than 2 overcrowded ones.

    East Server - Lost City FTW!!!
    bye ark~ it was nice knowing you *wishes ark would choose East server - Lost city*

    "This is not the west, this is the east. The sun does not set here, it raises"
    (original dialogue is from shangai noon, this one is altered)

    Suggestion to the Admins:

    Sever: Lost City
    Making players RageQuit since 2004

    They should have it like this

    1. PVP servers:
    ---> EAST
    ---> West

    2. PVE Servers:
    ---> EAST
    ---> West

    where the colours represent a group of server between which we can travel. i honestly dont wanna loose friends in a game like this because of servers -.- that sucks

    Lag have little to do with the server's power, unless it's a undergrade machine.

    Simply put, the more hops you have between you and your destination, the more prone you are to hit a bottleneck that will make you lag badly.

    Hmm, isn't PvE purely exp grinding in this game for the most part?
    So a PvP server would be wiser to choose ;)

    I haven't seen anything official either way, but I strongly suspect ALL the servers will be physically located in California, with just things like the TW times adjusted for east and west among them.

    Hey I could be totally wrong, i haven't seen anything about this yet, but it seems an awfully big investment of resources and effort to put servers in two physical locations.

    It's too bad PW has never supported shards, they're so much better than having a lot of servers.

    You can still PvP on the PvE server. The only thing you cannot do is PK anyone at will. And it's not PvE but optionalPvP server. People who are against this type of server are calling it PvE to confuse people.

    What I see when I open the CB client is that there are two servers to pick from:

    Heavens Tear (PVE)
    Lost City (PVP)

    so maybe the "4 servers" are just 4 login gateways but there are really only 2 servers.

    It's called a PvE server because people dont have to look over their shoulders for PKs and can concentrate on the content.

    So PvE is the correct answer.

    Optional PvP? LOL

    "Hey buddy, Lets go play on the OPvP server"?

    PvE servers are called that for a reason and its not due to the lack of PvP. There are many games out there that have "Optional PvP" also known as "selective voluntary flagging" in some cases.

    Show me a game where the server is listed as "Optional PvP".

    Dont spread BS? :rolleyes:

    Click on the "switch" button beside the server's name . You'll see "East" and "West" button above the server list window

    And the PvP server = gankers servers

    Every bloody topic on here gets derailed on this pvp thing, it's really sad. I mean I don't even feel like posting much around here cause there's just too many idiots saturating the boards with hostility and ignorance.

    Get a life people, pick whichever server you want on the 19th and stay out of everyone elses business. Either that or go cry about it in one of the many established topics on the subject.

    The one thing we can be sure of is there's no shortage of players. Both servers are going to fill up quickly. Trying to recruit for one of disparage the other is just pathetic and unnecessary.

    -.-"

    To the admins: Choices are good, and thanks for the surprise of additional options (the East/West thing.)

    Guys, please get over yourselves. The PvP/PvE war is getting to be a really old tune, and I'd really like you to at least argue about something new if you can't bring yourselves to get along.

    As for east and west coast... Eh. Some of it's unavoidable. Tech is tech, and you gotta play with the cards you're given. I'll be playing on PvE server that offers me the lowest lag.

    You are not telling me anything new.

    I know the PvE servers have a PvP element to them, just like the PvE "WoW" servers. But they are not called "OPvP servers". That name does not exist.

    You need to stop trying to Police people too much acting like you know everything there is in MMOs.
    You dont and I dont either!

    I've been playing MMOs since they emerged (Familiar with M59, UO, Muds?) maybe you are too young to know those games, I dont know...but anyway..

    Your post count will still go up with non-bashing replies. Try it once in awhile.

    Just because you may have more knowledge of the message boards of this particular game, doesn't make your opinions feasible to attack anothers opinion or judgement rudely.

    You know it and i know it. But do people who start playing MMOs know that? i doubt it. If they search for the definition of "PvE", they will find a "players versus environment". Chances are high they will assume there is no PvP in the "PvE" server. This is how i see it and that's why i think the name PvE is wrong.

    Yes, i know UO. Quitted it after being tired to lose all my equips to a KoSer several times... ah, good times xD

    I - don't - care - about - my - post - count.
    Was that clear enough? Or should i Pm the admins and ask them to reduce my postcount to 0 to prove this?

    I already told you why i sometimes react like this - not in all my posts. And i still think that if you can't use the search function or read stickied threads you have to deal with this kinds of replies.
