Recently switched to European servers
4 pages • Page 2
european server more polite, are you kidding me?
theres less people and procentual far more idiots (still less in total).
I switched from europe mostly because it got screwed in finding ANY group in the higher areas (by language sectiuons and less players).
theres just more, and more skilled, and more adult !!!, people on the american server.

You know why these Europeans are more friendly than Americans 
they have a healthier diet. Just check out their Mediterranean Food Pyramid. Olive Oil is suppose to be good for you. It has its own section. Also, wine is included in the pyramid.
America is all about fast food hamburgers, pizza, hot dog, and etc. Then down it with beer or soda. Then straight to your computer and log on to GW. No wonder some Americans act like morons on GW. Bad diet = Unhappy = American, well some of them.

I cant stand the American servers, sometimes i feel like im the only nice person around everyone else is like "LFG YOU ****ERS, JOIN ME NOW!", but sometimes i find people who arnt total dorkwads... but seeing how i hardly ever play with people i normaly go in international districts and there only a few people there
last time i checked GW offers some weird "bork bork bork" language, seing how i cant stand some of the people, ive always thought about making a language switch... heh

Well this because people that are known gamers long ago adapted to english, I rather play in english that in my mother language.
That happens to (almost) all countries, germans that are gamers will stick to english districts because of the higher population (many countries dont even have their language represented and stick to english) since there is really no language barrier and people that started gaming likely have not picked up english as natural as gamers do and so stick to their language districts.

We are gaining favor more often, I so hope it leads to be a tie of Korean and Europe holding favor so ArenaNet drops the damn thing. |
I hate to burst your bubble but america holds favor pretty much the same as Korea. you are probably in bed sleeping while we hod it though as it occurs in our eveining till late night.
PS like in my previous post i am glad when Europe get favor FoW and UW are great places to play and europe should not miss out on them

| PS- Europe currently has Favor ;P |
a) I have to go to bed
b) I have to go to university
c) my computer has mysterious breakdowns and I get kicked out of the game every other minute, whereas it is running fine the next morning (when Europe of course doesn't have the favor anymore)
d) my internet connection has a hic-up
e) I have to learn something stupid, go to bed and go to university all at the same time.
Unlucky me

It's getting worse in Europe too, though. I still haven't seen any bots, or heard any racial or sexist slurs, but tradespam is becoming a real problem, language is deteriorating, and we have no shortage of scammers & runners.
Anyway, I'm just curious - you guys who've been to servers on both side of the atlantic, have you noticed any difference in price-level?

There was a post about the prices a while ago. I can't find it though.
Someone a bit further back in the thread noted the lack of skill on the EU servers atm.
It's damn true, i play in EU pugs less and less nowadays and stick to either my guild only or go to international to find some good people to play with. All the good EU players hang around there later on anyway

I can't really elaborate on the noticable difference between Euro servers and American servers without it seeming over-generalized, but the last straw was well drawn last night when a pompous player came up out of nowhere and undermined me and a friend in the Arena and dared to call Canada the land of ignorance. In conclusion, if you want to escape the anguish of foolish playing and immature snobs running around feeling superior while throwing N00b blindly around, F12 > put in password > Edit Account > Change Territory > Europe. I don't think I'll go back to American territory, and hopefully, if anyone follows in my wake, this server would get Favor more often. |
I suggest you play during european high-traffic hours with the kiddies and report back here with your generalizations.

I don't know if the Europe server has a better atmosphere than the American one but it's still far from great at times. I've seen plenty of people who are abusive, rude or just annoying. As someone who rushes people from Beacon's Perch to Droknar's Forge the number of scammers and abusive players I run into is incredible. That said there are plenty of good people as well but I think you're being a bit optomistic about some of the people on the European server.
Touchy touchy. The UK GMT is 0, and mine being -5. Now looking at my playing patterns, I'm awake until 7 to 8 in the morning, add 5 to those hours, and I go to bed at about 3pm for them. By my standards, those would be the hours kids would have already woken up and been ready or have been playing already for hours.
And report back I shall, tonight shall be my first night not just with one person and then we can further look at my "generalizations".
