Region Consolidation

Now that the forums have been merged, are there any plans to merge the server regions? EU servers did appear to be more active during British peak hours but it means losing contact with my European friends on Victory, no global chat or ability to play my toons with them.

Likewise, I have two accounts, my original master NA account and the EU account that was set up as part of the transfer program a while back. Again, one set of toons or the other. The only way to retain access to them would be two subscriptions. Since I have two 50's plus my main with hundreds of badges and all my friends on NA region, EU account gets pushed out. The downside is I am asleep when US peak gets going so I miss all the groups and raids that are formed.

Not as far as we know.

Last I recall a redname commenting (on the EU boards) it was along the lines of "There are no plans for merging the server lists or merging servers".

Wow, that was fast... not one full day online and already the first "Merge the servers thread". And on a weekend too! I'd give you points for effort but alas, the lack of originality ate them all.

Kudos for trying though.

May not be an important topic to you but that's because it doesn't affect you. For Euros who are still in the NA region, it has been a problem for a fair few years.

I very highly doubt that they'll merge any of the servers, much less merging the EU servers with the NA servers.

That being said, I'll play with you on Victory. Tis my home. And I'm home all day for the most part, so about 2 here (that would be around 7 or 8 there, I think?) I'm usually available to play for a little bit.

Oh, it's goona be "Soon"(tm) and you know it!

Nooo the dreaded Soon with the funny symbol I can never recreate. :P

And I'm not talking about merging servers, that'd be a disaster waiting to happen. I'm talking making the servers accessible with no need for this EU or NA account stuff, all one region. They said in the past it was to do with EU data protection (stupid MEPs sticking their nose in) but the forum share means some customer data is being shared betweenthe EU and NA regions now?

@Viv: Seen you on Victory channel. Misread it as my SG Channel and thought "Ahhh old SG member (also called Viv) returned?"

Oh and a consolidation would be most profitable for Victory. Then we would be better then Virtue AND Zukunft.

Actually the OP asks about plans to merge the server regions/lists so that all accounts have access to all servers. He doesn't ask for servers to be merged.

Given that the game ran for about a year with only the US servers I'd guess that there are quite a few people who aren't in US time zones but didn't transfer to the EU servers as they were established and wanted to stay with friends they'd made. So it doesn't surprise me in the least bit that this was asked by a player on the US servers.

Also: Many EU players already know the stance since it's come up many times on the EU forums, whereas I'd guess that the US don't ask the question as often.

I've always wondered if a merge of server lists might also benefit the odd French speaking Canadian who could, presumably, play on Vigilance alongside the other servers.

Oh yeah, that would make sense.

Yes, I'm *very* vocal on Victory Forum Global. So much so that I often get shushed. I was in the On Her Majesty's Service SG once upon a time.

We're already better. The server section of the forums! /e victory
