Ultimatesla Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) BioWare, if you force us to move to an American Server, then you will lose a good majority of your Australian playerbase. We love playing this game with good ping, this is the first time we've ever had servers actually based in the Pacific in an MMO. Regardless of the fact there's not as many people playing on APAC Servers, if we stick together in one massive server, then it will encourage the APAC community to come together to play with low ping. Try opening up free transfers FROM NA Servers TO APAC Servers. Give the APAC Playerbase playing on NA Servers the chance to transfer back to APAC Servers. If that doesn't boost up our numbers enough, then consolidate us into a Superserver. I believe 90% of us would prefer that, rather than to play with 200-700 ping on an NA server.

This was already suggested about 7 months ago when we first started to ask for a solution. They ignored it! Also please sign the petition to keep our servers if you have not already.

Ultimatesla Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 Why don't they enable Cross-Server LFG for Warzones, Flashpoints and OPs? That would solve the problem too!
Ultimatesla Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 After all the work i've gone through establishing a guild on Master Dar'nala with almost 500 people, to help establish a community and to help the server grow - the last thing i'd want to see is a server merge happen. Cross-Server LFG and Free Transfers from NA to APAC are the two most practical solutions here BioWare, otherwise many of your paying customers will quit.
ChuangTzu Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 This thread has been going for 7 months now. There were so many good solutions suggested but they ignored them all.
xxpcwizardxx Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 my guidly thing that this APAC population issues which just the excuse for BW to get rid of the APAC server i m guess they were right but i ve also played on NA server and yes my latency went to 200 but i don't notice any lag at all

Cross-Server LFG and Free Transfers from NA to APAC are the two most practical solutions here BioWare, otherwise many of your paying customers will quit. APAC players that quit are expendable. BW will generate a larger profit by closing the APAC servers despite losing APAC players vs cost of maintaining the APAC servers and retaining APAC players. This is about the bottom line. They don't care about your story or what is most convenient for APAC players. They only care about what will generate the most profits. If I had money invest or any monetary interest in EA I too would have chosen the most profitable option regardless what people think is correct. That is how the corporate world functions. Get used to it. Between that is how management and executives think too. Edited March 29, 2013 by Knockerz
Thornsbane Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Since so many NA players seem to think playing with lag is fine I think BW should force transfer a NA server to the APAC ones.
Knockerz Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Since so many NA players seem to think playing with lag is fine I think BW should force transfer a NA server to the APAC ones. I have no question BW would do this if it was more profitable. That's why I don't take any thing they do as genuine goodwill. It's simply business as usual.
DotAPro Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 More Good Ideas, chosen to be discarded by a company more interested in pleasing the mindless American mass than slightly fewer Australian Subscribers.
