From what I've seen, there tends to be a lot more individuality on NA. There's a LOT of variety, and a lot of people trying out new play styles, new builds, new tricks and tactics, etc. That's why we have more 'flavor of the month' type builds, like horse crossbowmen and pure throwers. People are always trying to find an edge and experimenting with new stuff. Likewise, NA players tend to ignore team play a lot of the time. They're more interested in dramatic exploits and exciting fights, so there are a lot of heroes. Also, it doesn't help that there are only a few big, worthwhile clans on NA.

By contrast, EU players tend to follow tradition. They use tried-and-true weapons, builds, and tactics. Danish greatsword, heavy kuyak, strength builds, heavy horses,shield walls, cavalry charges, etc. These guys take a straightforward cookie-cutter approach, stick with their team, and fight the good fight rather than running all over the map on their own. The EU servers are also a little more populated than NA, so it feels more like a big battle than a skirmish.

There's no real good or bad to it, they're just different.

I was going to do a comparison of EU ban requests vs NA ban requests but unfortunately they move closed requests into a "Closed Requests" forum (or at least sometimes they do), so I guess it's hard to tell.

Actually, the NA ban forum having far more posts in it suggests that NA admins are lazy and rarely move closed requests into the proper forum.  This theory meshes well with their laziness at banning douchebags in game, so maybe there IS a good measurement here.  NA has more lazy admins, ergo we have more douchebag players who should be banned, but never are.

Oh right, we have moderator over there. I, for one, forget that fact quite often. I think that some NA admins probably don't even realize they have it at all. There's no admin guidebook, not any instruction about how to administrate that we get at all. We get the tools to make bans happen and the server rules and that's pretty much it. I don't think they even make sure new admins know the rules, either.

I wouldn't call us lazy at banning douchebags in-game, either, but rather that we're careful about it. Sometimes it's hard to tell if a player has really broken a rule, taking somebody's word for it is not really a good way to go about business. The turnover rate is also much higher for NA admins, so I think some guys are still getting used to just how much strictness is enough.

I shouldn't speak for other admins so much, I just know that I've spent more hours in spectator some days than I've spent playing, just watching out for one supposed troublemaker or making sure people actually play the game. I'd hardly call that lazy.

I'll admit EU people are much smarter than Americans.
It is not the mind but the heart that counts
Beautiful poetry by yours truly  :P

But the bottom line is: Everyone sucks in this big round piece of crap we call world.

Gondorians are the worst and should be eaten by orcs.
For while the fire in the heart of a single Remnant still burns... can Stratia truly have fallen?

I was a horse crossbowman for generations and generations after the first wipe, and one of the first people to obtain a horse (BlueGreen was first on his rouncey) after the wipe back, what, two years ago? Except it really was a lol build then, because HA was every 12 agi and you had to deal with old lancers, not the modern people which have their joints welded together.

Crossbows were less accurate on top, although more damaging, so if you did hit a lancer with your epic 2 HA-skill crosshair the size of two plated chargers you would get a kill. It was awesome when you'd win a lance vs crossbow duel vs a competent lancer. And you raged about foot archers since they would twoshot (or if headshot, oneshot) your horse halfway across the map. And there was a lot of archers back in the day.

Best ban reason ever:
Quote from: Wookimonsta
I checked, the only Vagabond I found was Wolves_Vagabond_TheCruel, that guy is now unbanned. Ban reason was: "calling Zotte a cockswoggler".

McDO's fucking good, ate some when I was in France some years ago, less salty, tasted a bit less, but eh, feels good.

EU and NA are both filled with morons, imo.

NA= individualistic, experimental, dramatic
EU= collectivist, traditionalist, cookie-cutter
It's almost word for word the way Americans stereotype themselves vs Europe. Yeah, pop culture bullshit definetely didn't influence this opinion at all. Only cookie-cutter I see is your mind.
Heavy horses and str builds are uniquely EU? wtf? Do you even play on EU servers? If anything both of those are way more used in NA than in EU. Usually the retarded stereotype used to justify why NA use more str builds is because EU are obviously all cowardly full agi backpedallers, as opposed to the strong and mighty NA players. Fuckers can't even keep their ridiculous stereotypes straight. Do you have any proof at all for your claims, beyond of course your own biased opinion?
