EU exclusive please!

Well you know this was coming Since physical items are unavailable in the EU and enhancements are being given out to NA players [i do know that players who play on the NA servers who are in the EU do not get these items too btw] . . . .

could we please have a frickin bone thrown our way once in a while? No more words!

[For the people outside the EU who read us EU players constantly moaning about this kind of stuff, this is the kind of thing we mean Small things add up to big things! ]

I know i play mostly on the NA servers now but incentive! please! Its all about the little things!

Love from damz

Edit: Deleted a few smilies since was way too many for a single post!

The subtitle of this forum gets more and more bitterly ironic with every announcement, doesn't it?

I'm sure Av, War Witch or Black Pebble will be along in a couple of days to tell us any concerns have been "passed along" to whomever or whatever they all report to (/dev/null I'm guessing )

Im on the moaning band wagon but War Witch must have know about these exclusive enhancements when she was posting in the EU gets shafted thread as the enhancements would have required to be designed by the devs as part of GR.

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

According to Black Pebble, this is a recent addition to the GR marketing plan, so it's unlikely War Witch would have known about it when she posted here.

You could be right GG - but Im just trying to figure out time frames and at what point these would have to be planned/designed/tested by the Devs and even before then the potential idea of exclusive preorder items being thought of and brain storming ideas of what these could be. In game items would have to be a joint Dev/Marketing venture.

Plus negotiating with Gamestop (or other retailers) wouldn't just happen over night (although War Witch may not necessarily be involved in that).

You know what? I was going to rant this 7 ways from Sunday, but I just can't muster the enthusiasm any more. Partly because I can't be bothered and partly because no one will care or do anything about it.

I'll just keep on playing and sporting a nonchalant smile.

Keep calm and carry on?

That's about the same attitude I've been using recently. I could reel off the usual 'second class citizen' rap but I'm tired of doing so. I'm just going to enjoy my time in game and try not to worry about it.

If they opened up a EU->US transfer then that would actually decrease the wait.
I mean how many people are still holding back a transfer if it came?
Only a few rp'ers from union thats it, and they won't be missed.

Low player counts are the reason why I play the game so little these days.
I would have gone stateside already if it wasnt for my characters and veteran rewards.

Hey buddy, I pay my monthly sub too, get over yourself.

We're just as interested in a server list merge, what we don't want is a flat out merger into an existing US server, is that so much to ask?

Thanks, we love you too.

If they opened transfers to the US, I would flat out ask my RPSG whether they intended to move their subscription over there and if enough said yes, I'd go too. The only reason I stay on the EU is because of our community so it's fair enough to say that if enough of the community moved over there, I'd shift as well.

I used to work in a small computer repair shop a few years ago (this is going somewhere). Being a small family run sort of place we always got a lot of spam calls about expanding out business etc. Over time the character of "James Marston" appeared. This man didn't exist, but yet he did so much for us:

"I'm sorry you'll have to speak to Jame, he's not here at the moment"

"You want to speak to Mr. Marston? I'm afraid he's in a meeting"

After a while I finished work there and I always wondered what happened to James. Apparently he got a job managing the Dev team.

Yeah, silly me, being a roleplayer. I mean, its not like I've spent just over £800 on the game over 5 years, keeping my sub going even when I haven't been actively playing. :P

And as Dante said, a lot of RPers wouldn't mind this, if it were a server list merge than being cast to the wind on a smorgasbord of servers.

Or he is hunting indians in Red Dead Redemption and changed his name to John

Anyone who plays the game without causing trouble to other players is an asset to the game, and would be just as equally missed as anyone else.

So you're suggesting Damz should stay on the EU servers even if he's not happy with the population? Don't be dumb.

He probably wants to have fun on a game he's paying £9 a month for instead of stood around begging for a team. Can't fault him or anyone else.

I still play on union at least 1 day a week. I play on freedom now because i'ld like to make characters that i can log in and easily make a character that i can build without having "ok i know i have to solo" in the back of my mind when creating one.

All my union characters are toons that are more than able to be good in both a team and solo very well. On freedom i now have currently two mid level characters which are based more for teams.

The only reason i still have me EU account active/log in one day a week is because of the time i had invested in to it and my friends on the EU side.

Hellloooooooooo.... May I remind you that UNION still has many more people then some of the smaller US servers. And that even if there would be a way to transfer toons all SG bases... SG's and Prestige earned would be gone at the same time. That is a lot of time and energy.

This is not a solution. Be more considerate.

You may, if I can remind you that all the players on those small population US servers could easily move to one with more than a handful of people during peak time, without paying for another sub.

The players on the low population US servers are doing it through choice.
