So i log on now and Go to the European districts all the time. Im from mexico so my main language is Spanish. I try to find people in the Spanish Districts at major cities and if i am lucky I run into like 3-6 people in a Major city...1 person in a normal hub area if I am very lucky.

When I go to European English District 1 in a major city I see less than 1/3 of the people on the US districts oh at European play times, Like 5am-10am (cali time) Its really odd. So where are all these players from Europe?

I remember last year the Spanish districts had plenty of people on them, and the European districts were just as packed as the American ones. This was early 2007 when it was like this. I don't understand, Did every 1 Just give up and go to the American Districts? or Did a lot of players from Europe quit?

You just play at the wrong times, plenty of Europeans playing, when i go to American district at regular European times those districts are deserted as well.

5am-10am Cali time corresponds with 2pm-7pm in much of western continental Europe. (An hour earlier if you're talking the British Isles, an hour later if you move to the east.) Early afternoons till early evening are not the busiest hours over here. They start at an hour or so before the end of that period.

Europe english is empty allright, thats because everyone goes to american dis to spam... German dis are still pretty crowded, but as stated above, everyone goes american to play ursan, overall americans are better pve-wise... ( at least they know what to do in dungeons etc...)

Yeah it's sortof a self-accelerating exodus. As people switch to America, more people will follow due to lack of numbers.

a huge shift in players per capita has changed since the added feature of inter-relm districts. alot more euros are in american dis.

Man that sucks, I cant find any one who speaks Spanish anymore to team up with. Hell back in 2007 It was easy to find an all spanish guild, Now its hard to find a spanish player.

If you spelt Europe right that would have been my answer maybe theyre in other districts, i know i spend most my time in American distrcits because my guild is american and i went to AD once and since then its been the default. Maybe others have noticed no ones on at one point and changed districts?

It's a shame that Europe is devoid of players. I don't have EotN, but all the other major outposts do not have very many players in them outside of 'normal' hours. It's a total contrast to the States. I recently went to ToPK US dis and was really happy to see that the B/P party still going strong. That died out a long time ago in Europe.

And I have to agree with kranius that I experience a lot more lag than I was used to but that only gets worse if I join a PvE team in the US.

It's a lose-lose situation , either play with no people, or play with increased lag and risk disconnects.
