So if i visit your birthday every single year, but this year i wont come, i'm no longer a friend? Ironic aint it.

Would make more sence if this was posted today, i love good 1st april jokes.

Regarding colliding names, i think they refer to active and inactive accounts as for the 'hundreds vs thousands', even so it wouldnt make sense the way you put it.

Although i'm part of the sacrafice group, my global personaly aint important that much, for me its the multiple accounts and alts. I would give up my global at any given moment if they could move all my freedom/liberty characters to my EU account, there is no collision and there is no financial effect for NCsoft (as i gonna cancel 1 of them anyway now).

Wait.. we should be happy for something that has been 'held back' for years while paying the exact same price, now suddenly becomes available? You maybe forgetting the point majority of EU players only had two servers to play on, as the french and german one also has a fully translated client and do speak any of those languages.

We made more alts on the simple way, more accounts. So we've payed for 2 maybe 3 accounts for years, now we suddenly should be happy we get access to way more characterslots, while they dont offer any form of merge of charactercopy?

I'm playing a MMO, not a singleplayer game.

We didnt choose to shut down NCsoft Brighton, we didnt choose to merge. As for ingame stuff, we have equal rights as you guys have. Where the game is developed or 'located' is totaly irrelavant to the fact if they should celebrate certain holidays or not.

(patriotism.. weird stuff actualy, who you think actualy founded majority of US?)

Besides, Europe hardly has any 'continentwide' holidays.

One way or another, they will loose at least 2 subs from my side once the 'acces to all' opens up, alike all other EU&US players that now can play with just 1 account. Why would i pay twice for a sub that can acces both? Each month i'm paying quadruple now, i could've transfer 1 character, leaving me eventualy with just 1 account to play on any server.

So yes, i would serious pay a month-fee for a transfer, i would several without a doubt.

It is, why else would i keep 4 accounts fully active for 3 months straight, when i can only play one at a time? At top i have 2 accounts active at any given moment, US and a EU one. I wouldnt mind a certain date, when your account has to be active (as that 'other game' does), but a full period of time for 'a wonderful 7yr reward' is plain bullocks.

Apart from the fact NCsoft still bugging up my paypal payments, making it nearly impossible to keep 4 accounts active at any given time.

And why would account transer be bad? It will only affect those who need it, specialy with the upcomming merge. Majority doesnt even have a 2nd account, let alone a 3rd or 4th. (and for 'abuse' its simple, only transfers within a Masteraccount can be done).

That was my question also bunch of pages earlier, although merge may not be possible (copying however is, alike the old US->EU copy), i wont see this happen at all. This mostly probably only affect EU players (as they would have a US more likely then a US-player having EU one), and since we pull the short straw all the time.. no exception this time.

Be it 20, be it 100 or 150, they do NOT represent the 'MMO' in MMORPG. I care little if 'my perspective' is 'fail' in your view, the global line remains.. this is not really acording MMO 'standards'.

Or easier said, can you name a MMO that has less players on a server?

Yet those hidden probably make up to the people of the 91 visible that not wish to party or are doing other stuff that not include a party.

From 11pm till around 1am GMT+1 time, and i'm not refering to the /who, but plain the people i talk to, see moving around or any other way being active.

Like they even care for PR? Nobody in Europa (nowadays) even knows this game, there is ZERO advertising. They only know NCsoft from Aion and Guildwars, games where there is alot of advertising done. Did anybody even cared that Brighton office was closed? 'bad PR' in any way? (closing = bad). The bit of advertising left for CoH is actualy done for the US servers.

A list only brings more problems, what will happen to the subs or characters? I'm already paying 1year+ on both sides, just to get all characters 'copied' (read, plvled) to the US side.

More related to the total merge of US/EU entirely, merging a market should have been done ages ago.

I never understood the whole concept of seperated markets for CoV/CoH, 1 gap fills the other.

Merging the box/digital client market, that would be something interesting. Not having a ******* up website that hides any US client/booster if your IP is from Europe, accidently buying the wrong box and not getting a refund, where only 1 digit is different from the 2 clients.

So for me, it aint worth it anymore. Stuck with 60month and 51 months accounts, useless to be played in a deserted server (yes, 20 people active online in not my view of a MMO). You feel loyal, blinded by the crap-service NCsoft is offering the COH EU players. Why did Aion had such great EU support? Why did Guildwars had the same? Tabula Rasa? Lineage? Why all games had a worldwide distrubution of every goodie, while CoH never had anything like that.

The irony kicks in harder, when Tabula Rasa closed, all active EU players got a huge pack of goodies including 3 months of CoH gametime. And wich account you could only apply it to? Bingo, US account.

Even if they could, they wouldnt :P

Acceptance of payment is not relevant to the system of seperated US and EU stores in such way they have done now. As guildwars, NCsoft product also, is a full region-free game by now, they have no limitation on US or EU (never had actualy). Be it legal or not, it aint costumer friendly, by far it aint (next to the fact they admited they wont do any store-advertising in europe, nor we get the special goodies or GR-pre-order boxes).

A native American who is on holiday in Europe faces the exact same problem, he cannot acces the US store, wich basicly is a flaw in NCsoft's system and not some weird excuse of 'payment acceptance'. Likewise a WoW player is free to go to the US store as well as the EU store, dispite the clients/products have EU and US versions (although they also have region-free products, like authenticators and TCG lootcards), they can freely buy products in US and EU, the only limitation is your account itself.

Same goes for the 'client side language', the US and EU share the exact same client (really, it does), apart from a few IP adresses to wich the client connects. The majority of language is actualy server-sided, unlike many MMO's where the client have 'language' packs and can change language based on client's preferences rather then the server you are playing on, people going to zudunkft or villigance will have a 'forced' language change, rather then a client-preferenced setting. That was 1 of the reasons EU always had server-issues, they needed special attention when a patch was rolled out of new content was added.

They now only fixed this by giving links to the US versions of the products (as some visible, yet others arent), implying it is a 'free to buy from both US and EU store' system but the 'IP-based visibility' is the fail-factor in this system. Understandable they prefer EU-visitors to go EU-servers (thus showing EU products), but limiting the available products is imho a big fail, either make 2 seperate shops (like WoW) or show them all (lotro).

Next to Guildwars, it was also Tabula Rasa that even got 1 client, but gave a 'merged' EU and US serverlist, showing the method is possible to work with 1 unified client, that have only have limitation on the account-settings, rather then limiting accesability of products or servers. But perhaps both games werd built this way or heavy modified to work this way, and now the flaws of design on previous years on CoH, caught up to them.

Logged in or not, i can only select the 'european' languages, like german, french and GB english.

I'm very happy to see A.net is doing a great job on GW2, the way how they have their payment/account system is far superior to this crap we called US/EU NCsoft. Althought still few months to go, i have a new game to put my money in. I now have 7 unanswered tickets, 6 closed with no answer and only 3 properly answered (well, default reply but still).

But they only seem to care to advertise GR in US as much as possible, outside there.. they care little to none.

That was my old methode, but recently they seem to have changed something, that once i log in (into my 'masteraccount', wich i gues is flagged european), either the products completly dissapear from my 'basket', or the page instantly redirect to the main store of europe again.

And the topic of the brazilian guy.. Sometimes i serious wonder if they even care for people outside the 'main USA'.
