Going Rogue in Europe

lol no saw a red name online and vented to them go the reply pretty quick though but there was a lot of anger in the post dont know how to quote pms on the actual thread though and it is legit! but we all know where the devs SOON and GOOD NEWS gets us......

I thnik any changes are likely to happen with GR at the earliest.

and yet we still have no reply from a red name! i thought the devs were watching this thread carefully??? and a new kick in the teeth to the EU players is that the going rouge prepurchase emails that where sent out all lead to the NA version yet again!!! we cant win

Face it. They've forgotten about us. Yes Avatea said she is trying to do things for us, but she has things over the pond to do too. They just don't want to spread their time out to even look at us on the map.

I really wish I could convey the fact that there is no active effort to increase the gap between our North American and European communities. On the contrary, in the background, you have no idea how much we'd like to do to improve things but we have hurdles along the way that don't help achieve that. I can't give you explanations as to the type of hurdle we have to overcome and that's probably not going to please some of you, but I guarantee you that they are not the type that can be resolved with a bit of coding.

About the newsletter links, no, it wasn't an effort to drive you towards the North American site, the automatic geo-IP redirect is simply not functioning well but our web team is now aware of the issue. Thank you for alerting us.

Thank you for posting Avatea. I certainly don't envy you the task of communicating with us rowdy lot over this issue.

A mistake is a mistake and I'm glad that it's being worked on. I think that perhaps it would take the most cynical of minds to think that it was some covert attempt to get us all to uproot and head to the NA servers. However the fact remains that we have watched a decline in service since the EU offices closed and as our numbers dwindle, we see no attempt to try and either bring more people to the EU and nothing that reassures us that we're not about to be closed down and forgotten about.

I know that you are limited in what you can say but this isn't about words. Our patience has been tested over the past two years and has been worn thin. When it comes to the future of the EU servers, action speaks volumes.

I wonder if theres some sort of office drinking competition for when they mention the EU servers or EU community, maybe they are just too hung over to deal with us right now?

However, she can't cos something IS being done, but it'll take time and Black Pebble (sorry, but you are the face of marketing so all will be blamed personally on you :P ) is standing behind her with a gag, stroking his white cat, making sure she doesn't tell us anything useful.

Edit: Actually, on rereading it, it sounds like she wishes she could tell us there ISN'T an attempt to make it worse, but she can't... implying there is.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, any updates on how we can get those pre order goodies or something similar...to make the EU and US on the same level again? (although you could argue they weren't to begin with but let's not go into that)

Black Pebble has already confirmed the pre order Enhancements are for that store only so: no, none of us will be getting those goodies (I'll add a cautious "via pre order" so as to cover all my bases).
