Hi,
Since European and American players can interact freely, I've noticed that a lot of players go to the US districts since the English population or even the general population is higher. This started for trading reasons and for finding people to play with at odd hours here in Europe.
Now, since the HoH has no bonuses for continents anymore, it seems that the point in having US and European (and even Asian I might add) districts.
Why not just have language districts?
If a lot of the European English speakers are going to the US districts now you may aswell accept it and it saves you on selecting districts.
Also, I would think that in the US there may be a fair amount of Spanish speakers who may be interested in a Spanish speaking district without having to travel to the European districts.
So there's my idea.
Get rid of US and European districts.

no, do not agree. I always play in europe or international because i cant move in american dist. If they do away with american...then im back to square 1 on finding an area i can move in. and the asian dist. just dont apeal to me.

I like the Euro districts. They are alot more calmer than the American districts.

You do know that each regional district has its own datacenter, so what you're basically asking is to use the International District datacenter for the US and EU datacenter for English speaking people.
No thanks, I don't want lag forced on me and a ton of other people.

Current system. like if we would just have 1 english disctrict, it would cause huge lag and server host would be there wherest most ppl (america probably?) and it would cause lag for european players

to alot of people the districts doesnt matter, but for another couple of players it does. They have worse ping/ms in america for example, and so on.
And i prefer to cruise around in the european dists.
/notsign but i see ur point

no, many people like European for the fewer amount of ppl and less lag... it would be very impractical to mess around with servers at this point anyways.

i lol-ed at the suggestion.
You are so gonna get flame by people. *throws you a fire shield* I for one am always not on american server, why? less stupid people talking , peach and quiet ! and no lag!

/signed. I'm in australia, so i get rotten ping no matter which district. I get slightly better ping in Europe servers, but there's more people in American, so if I need a team I always go there. The ping difference in really quite negligible.

why would you want to put us all together, quite frankly american dis's have the most irritating people ever in them and i like going to asians dis's purely because they are so quiet.

so where would these "language" districts be placed? A lot of people speak english around the world so where would you put it so it's fair.

Not everyone in Europe speaks English. That's why Europe has five different districts for the most spoken languages.

I find there to be significant differences between the two in player behavior, namely that it's often easier to find a group on the American servers (I live in New York on the east coast so that's when I'm playing) however the average European player is far more respectful and fun to play with. You can't count on an American PUG not to have one death and call it quits, having half the group ragequit out.

Are the EU servers actually physically separate from the International servers? I get the same 150-250 ping playing on either.
(and I've got a 100MBit connection)

Wouldn't bother me. I play in Korean districts anyway.

I guess I'll /sign. This would also take a little financial burden off of Anet in GW1 with having to host less servers. If you like calmer districts, then just go to the Polish or Russian or Italian districts, I don't think I've ever encountered 1 person while playing those.
Honestly, the International district holds no purpose or use anymore since you can visit all districts freely.

i would rather see them change international to English (International) and keep everything else as-is. as mentioned, there is no need for ID anymore, and no one would be forced into lagville.

Aren't there enough Western European failures in American districts already?

euro for playing with heroes and friends, american for pugging and trading ^^ euro servers are located in europe after all, so slightly less lag "at home"

I have less than 200ms latency in Eu and more than 300 elsewhere.
I say no, leave the choices.
If people don't find others to join, they can look elsewhere. The choice is there.
There is no problem in that.

I like getting my 50 ping in American districts as opposed to 500 in Euro districts. It makes for sexier roleplay in town.
What they need is to be able to use the party search function across Am/Euro/Int dists.
