it tells you if you really are from there, your PING/connection speed will be very good. and if you are not from west, your ping will be bad.
So please stop this nonsense of advocating as if this is a bad thing.
Thing is, all of the eu west playerbase is already in eu central. This is a shitty solution specially without roster migrations implemented

im sure 30-40k QUE people will replace their place. lol
FWIW, it doesn’t currently look like there should be an extreme difference in ping for most players; it shouldn’t have a big effect on gameplay in that way

Well I don’t like any unnecessary segregadion and this feels exactly like that. You cant even transfer cross region so its a huge hit to EU players. Hopefully they will merge EU Central and EU West back in future when playerbase diminishes a bit.
The Idea is great, but without the possibility to migrate our roster to another Server or Region. At least nearly anyone I know, including myself, are currently not thinking about leaving our current Server. We enjoy Lost Ark, but as a Player, we’re unwilling to sacrifice our progress.

So, EU-East goes to Central, EU-West to west.
But what is central? France? Germany? Or are they already west? Who knows.
screw everyone that already started playing. since they dont wanna add character transfer. Myself, i havnt used any money yet. cause i will quit if they screw me with “wrong server”
I just agree with you. I wouldn’t mind to change my server but don’t feel like giving up my progress 
But then eastern players will still try to get on EU Central, why would they choose EU West? Do they know about ping while creating a char?
If both Servers are same location anyway, just name them EU 1 and EU 2 or so.
There reasons why it’s a bad idea naming it EU-West were already explained in several other threads.
A great solution the user @Z4RX mentioned was naming the servers after Lost Ark Regions.
