    We didn't have global server, but 2 regional servers and we both know that. That was US server called Global and EU server called EU PvP.

    Where do we begin?

    1. Many players didn't receive their exp and rank on Global server during the split. Even after meeting the requirment of doing 1 battle etc. etc. and ignoring the fact that you had to take certain actions to get your rank there prior to split. Severely limits players and unfair for these that didn't know about it or came later

    2. "EU Global" Server became "EU PvP" server keeping it's entire playerbase, database and everything in tact, unchanged. That's why many players didn't move to global. Situation would have been different if EU Global became the actual "EU Global" server after the split. 

    3. Clans didn't want to split. I personally have been a part of international clan and about half of the clan was EU. We did split as a clan, but later we came back together. It was really no fun playing with just half the friends, not all of them. We know for the fact that server split killed clans such as ZERG. Pretty much the most important clan in GB at the time.

     

    Before the split the server was international, no matter how it was called. And it was split for reasons.

    Don´t get me wrong. I totally agree on all of your points. Espacially the 3rd one.

    My bad, jags and bill barents were VCO.

    However, after the fall of russia, both joined you in 7UP. And now, both are REDS.

    talking about facts...

    Jags and me were 7UP since 2016 but what do i know...

    The VCO days were a short time after server merge.

  3. i moved to Russia myself and got asked to join the portbattle of Nassau.

    I refused since i haven´t had portbattles for ages. I didn´t want to start off again directly against the possibly best pb fleet you can meet as a Russian.

    So joining the screening fleet i got my ass handed to me twice by the Danish pb fleet. But this is what happens when dlc and cheap screening ships intercept the pb-fleet.

    We did our job, not more, not less. After all the Port of Nassau is still Russian.

    Yeah, but we may be playing a finished game with the threat of future periodic wipes.

    Personally i think we will see more map and ressource wipes incoming. I can´t imagine every loophole, exploit, bug or however you call it will be closed just because game is released.

    For me It is nothing more than a patch hitting the server like it happened already in the past and probably will happen in the future aswell.

    Muchos FLEKIs nos vamos de la facción despues del wipe. Algunos se van a piratas y otros a los rusos. Si hay alguien interesado en formar clanes hispanos en estas facciones que nos avise pa organizarlo.

    FLEKI ya no tiene amor.

    Hola Despeinao, i am sad to hear that but i wish you all the best within the russian faction.

    Sailing alongside with you was a pleasure and an honour to me.

    Port Timer Problem is a fake-crisis. Attack the port in the time that the defender creates. Or don't, your choice. The Biggest detriment to "I'm not getting the fights I want" Is NOT because of timers, but because of people not wanting to fight one another.

    If that port is close to your capital / core area and hidden by timer you might think different.

    Nah, you just don't have any appreciation for the fact that the world is round and players play in all time zones. It's ok, it's a pretty difficult concept to wrap your head around.

    Getting personal, why?

    Is it because you fear your own north-american server without nightflips, hiding behind timers and contested portbattles?

    Finding a working mechanism that doesn't need scheduling and allows asymmetric battles is not trivial, but is critical. Timers are just a workaround that causes so much grief and frustration that it needs to be fixed. 

    this.

    If game gets released without a solution to the problem above OR comes without regional servers, i fear  it won´t last long.

    Worst idea so far.

    What if your nation is in AUS timezone? Are you going to move to another?

    It would be nice if people began to think on the disadvantages before writing.

    You move with your clan/nation to the area of the map with the timers that fit for you.

    At least this is an idea to solve the timer problem. If RVR hostility system and timers stay as they are with the release, i won´t be interested in it.

    Just catched up with this topic.

    In my opinion people are whining WAY to much. The argument about wasted hours in a game is just stupid, as you need to shittalk every game you "wasted" your hours in.

    The point about an equal start for every player is a valid argument. Someone who starts a MMO on release date and sees a lot of players on (almost) max rank calls it unfair and leaves faster than someone who starts 4 weeks after release.

    For my part i am looking forward for the release. They can wipe as much as they want, i like this game and the people i play it with.

    I do agree with you on most part. On release i even think everything including ship knowledge and skill books should be wiped.

    But i don´t see the (on my opinion) core problems of this game even adressed. There will be higher player numbers after release but why should i expect them to stay? And why should i do the grind again if don´t expect them to stay?

    why  would it drive players away ?   belize is a ghost town .... maybe the spanish do more pve in vera cruz than habanna .. give up habbana as a safe zone that is a ghost town too

    not sure about new orleans its too far away to bother sailing

    Because clans have setup their bases and warehouses in this areas. They would need to move everything and espacially for the french it is a  very long sail if you keep in mind that a wipe is upcoming anyway.

    7UP clan ahora in REDS, russian nation.

    Russians no ayudar espana para recoperar jugadores 7UP. Ellos intelligentes, northviking saber 7UP volver REDS cuando espana empezar perder.

    Russians usar espana. Espana usar in screening and espana dar puertos a russia. Ustedes pensar russia importar amistad espana, pero ellos buscar mejor para russia solo. Ustedes manipular por russia and northviking, ellos mentir a espana. 

    Espana debil, russians olvidar espana. France poderosa, russians usar France ahora.
