New players that started the game late weren’t aware of this ? But yeah let’s blame them for picking the region the closest to where they live.

The server are at the same location they just have different names 
. And sry but i would say its normal that you inform yourself about the region/ server you pick coming late into a mmorpg
Some people did in fact move because they couldn’t afford waiting 6 hours every day (this might surprise you, but many have jobs and other interesting things in their lives), many started on EUW either because it’s the default region or because it made sense for optimal latency. Parroting that this is anyone’s “fault” is just dumb, no matter if you are the first or the hundredth to parrot it.

False. EUW is in Dublin, EUC is in Frankfurt.
Eu west ping is dog in comparison, i doubt anyone moved because of the ping, its literally worse for everyone. And yes i know why people moved but those guys knew they would move on a region with maybe 5% maybe less of the playerbase. And amazon said they cant merge it later
Edit: i saw atleast 10 posts when euwest opened that the ping is dogshit no matter where you are. Most likely the server is just bad
Would have taken a minute to find out that eu west had no future, reddit twitter the forum everything was full of meme posts
Well if I had knew when I started that EUC servers had unending queues … Well I would have also picked EUW. Just out of convenience ?
There’s little to no reason to think that a fix to that problem would have any bad impact on EUC players and it would surely be a better gaming experience for EUW players. I fail to see a reason why anyone would be against it to be honest.
Eu west came like a month in… ofc it would have a low amount of players
It came 17th february. Try again.
Yeah almost a month
8th february is pre-release. 11th is official.
6 to 9 days = a month ? You’re either trolling or insane.
Tbh it felt later for me however amazon said they wont/ cant merge it. It was obv a low pop region and it was written all over the internet. I really cant blame anyone but the guys who complain about it. Also this shit literally happens in every single f mmo out there queues queues … you join a non queue server? The server dies a 100% after the hype phase. Just this time it was a whole f region which is 10 times more obv

Just short-sightedness, because like I said above this is an obvious problem for the game (and Amazon, after the New World fiasco 
) as a whole. In every EUW thread there’s always 1-2 people like him who were frustrated by queues for weeks and now come to gloat with their “we told you so, your fault”. They usually graze around for a while, it doesn’t immediately click that they’re wasting time arguing over something that they think doesn’t affect them.
They can do the merge if they want to. They’d just prefer not doing it most likely.
If the game popularity goes down, it’s not the player’s fault the servers are dead, but it’s the game dev’s responsability to find a solution so that they can keep a good experience for those players who just made a server choice like anyone would do presented those 2 options. You live in EU West, you pick EU West, that’s simple and nobody would do any research about it before hand.
I still fail to understand why you’re against it.
Im not against it lol. I only told you that it was dumb going west ( new players who didnt do research unlucky i guess) if you were planning on playing the game long term
Yeah we understood your opinion the first time, we’re just saying it’s dumb.
Yes it is dumb, but if they really cant do it then idk they told you rip
Unlucky i guess that’s true. I didn’t have to suffer the queues but now I’m facing low population region. Hopefully they can find a solution other than “start over on EUC”. I invested too much in my current roster to start over again.
I didnt suffer any queues luckily because i played 20 hours a day and slept 4 hours when most people did so i never had queue logging in 
+1 server merge when
Queues wasn’t my main issue with EU West as I’m able to work remote and join the queue early. What made me move was the frustration to not be able to do endgame content due to the instanced server issues. And from my understanding this kept going for weeks after EU West was created(?). O also had friends who started fairly late and had not invested as much time as me, so I convinced us to move as the queue was a more severe issue for them.
Merging servers sure isn’t rocket science, but it is definitely not an easy task. But I do believe that it is something the devs should look into. PvP is a big part of the longevity in the game, and if PvP queues are going to continue to take up to 5 minutes with the same people and skewed matchmaking, many are most likely going to throw in the towel and move on.
