Would you migrate to NA server if possible?

[ShockPirat]

Well, lets see what people at EU think.

Would you migrate (have all account ships and stats copied over) to NA if it was possible, and your friends could migrate too?

 

I'm sick of community being ignored on EU. Things obviously won't change (fast enough) here, so migrating is the only option I see could keep me playing WoWs.

My premium runs out in 5 days. I'll try to get to rank 1 until then and then I'm probably done with WoWs for the time being. I'll switch over to Armored Warfare.

 

If this topic gets enough replies, I'll send a message to one of NA CMs... perhaps they could organize some mass migration for us. Lets hope

[LMN118]

Absolutely. 

[Admiral_noodle]

I voted no because I get rubbish connection to the us.

A better poll would be "would you prefer the us community management" maybe.

To be honest is it a case of grass is greener or is *significantly* better stuff going on over there? I'm not looking to buy anything at the moment so do they have better challenges/missions etc?

 

whats so much better? Then I might vote yes

[Babykim]

I voted No because I would rather quit this game then grind everying anew and have connection issues.

[zFireWyvern]

Absolutely not.

Currently, they have an option to get Mikasa almost for free. The whole server (legally, everyone over 18 years old, but even kids could ask their parents to mail their stuff to get the Mikasa).

And before, the whole server had an option to get Marblehead for free, and Aurora code was given away to thousands of people, again for free.

 

MrFingers wrote it all down here: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/35808-specials-contests-giveaways-discounts/page__fromsearch__1

 

And what do we get? An option to buy Mikasa for 20€ thanks, but no thanks

And if all your stats and ships were copied? So you wouldn't have to grind stuff again.

I have an account on the NA server, which I sometimes use. My main fleet is in Europe (Arkansaaw, Diana, Albany, Tier V & VI,...), but since the EU gets neglected, I compete in NA-challenges as well.

 

Pro's:

• the ping is bearable (130/200ms), just readjust your long-aim a bit, nothing out of the extraordinary, and not game-breaking.
• the main language is English, so communicating is way easier (not to dis the non-English players on the EU, but it hampers team tactics)
• active CM's, interesting challenges, vibrant community
• You get ripped off in the Premium Shop, but at least you don't get soaky in the pooper, like in the EU.

Con's

• The active hours are not favourable for EU players, always expect to play in the wee hours of their day, which will result in long(er) queing times.
• You basically have to start over from scratch.
   

 

would I migrate to the NA if I could transfer my whole stats & progress: most likely yes (if nothing changes FAST in the EU server)!

[Admiral_noodle]

I still wouldn't bother at the moment even if I could migrate everything. Because I'm not spending any money on wows

 

What about events and challenges? If NA ones give like 1m creds instead of XP then sure

[LMN118]

To be honest the hours would suit me better, generally my awake hours are between 0100-1600, on the EU server the population numbers are very low at that time. So it would need to migrate my whole WoWs account, don't see the point otherwise due the premium ships I already have. 

 

Ping I am not so worried about, since the EU server frequently suffers from spikes, an active staff is important in any game. Many of the newer games are quite good in that respect, where you can communicate problems and ideas to staff directly and they actually reply to you, update you on the state of the game etc. We have little to no response from CM's here and none from the developer or publisher. 

[Anulmentor]

Voted no, mostly because primetime issues.

Playing on an otherwise empty server would suck more than playing without events or any kind of comunity management.

 

 

 

[gbgroger]

Is it at all possibel to emigrate to NA server? It feels like smooth sailing over there if pink is good.

[Makoniel]

I made a NA account some times ago, that's the only one I run now. 

The Mikasa bundle at 20€ convinced me. They got it free for an entry in a contest, they think the ship is so bad they mustn't sell it. Here in EU, WG think we'll eat all the garbadge they throw at us. 

[Tyrendian89]

the whole primetime thing wouldn't be too much of an issue if it were enough of a MASS migration would it... To those with accounts on both sides: How big is the difference in ping between the US and EU servers? I know games where the NA servers are actually better for european players...

[BlueMoon51]

I would if I could take my progress with me. Aside from that I don't really understand why the servers can't be linked like it other MMO type games, because if you happen to be a player that plays alot of off peak type times you are stuck with low numbers

[Andy_Elliott]

Did this a couple of months ago - I knew more people playing there than here.

 

Ping is usually 105-110 for me from the UK so quite playable.

 

The language used is a huge plus.

[OVanBruce]

Fortunately for me I like playing all tiers of this game. Unfortunately, Iwaki and Arkansas as well as all my premiums would have to stay here.

 

But yeah, I'd even start over. Once I get fiber again I'm probably doing it.

[ShockPirat]

I wouldn't start over. If migration is not an option, I'll simply quit and check back after 2 months to see if anything improved.

[bushwacker001]

I have had an account on the NA server for ages but just downloaded and had a first game on WOWS. 100 ping! not bad, about the same as my first few years in WOT before I built a proper gaming PC and also got super fast broadband. 

 

Quick question, does Aslain's or mods in general not work over there?

[Boevebeest]

Why would I change server?

Time difference makes me play while most US players are asleep or at work, so only a very small player base when I play.

 

It is the same game with the same problems.

Only for the better specials?

 

[Jadefalken]

Where do I sign!!!!!

 

I'll start packing right away

You, the first missions they got awarded half a million credits upon completion (compared to our 225000 value in fairly bad premium consumables), on top of actually valuable things. They even had Challenges that were quite awesome, get a fair few flags every time you rank up in Ranked (not sure it is still up), which also seemed to work whenever you ranked down.

So yes, NA Missions and Challenges are quite a bit better and something worth doing.

Of course it does.

 

If I could get all my stuff with me, all progression etc. then there wouldn't even be a need to ask me. If WG ever allows it, I'm gone. Farewell to lousy chat, lousy CMs, lousy deals and lousy missions and challenges.

[Kurbain]

Definitely not.

The player base is smaller and the time zone difference is very large, so I would probably get longer queue times and worse MM.

Nothing is more important in a multiplayer game than having a playerbase large enough to support proper matchmaking and ladder.

Doesn't matter how good a multiplayer game is if you can't find other people to play it with.

That's not an issue outside of early day high tiers, which is nothing different from here.

According to warshipstats.com, there are currently 18000 players online in EU and 11300 in the US.

That's 38% less and considering we are already having queue time problems concerning CVs and ranked over here, it must be quite a bit worse over there.

[Pastaiolo]

No, i don't really think so.

 

Only thing i am jealous of is the fact they are more likely to use english and the language barrier should be affecting less teamplay.
