Split NA players from EU players.

[PhantomZero]

I'm against a splitt cause it will splitt the community, NA and EU will not share anything.

EU will not make a big alliance, many Eu clans are at war each others.
I never understood why Na clan make a big alliance, they were scared by something, but Eu never attacked them because of bad ping.
Only LLKJ had the bollock to go by themself.

Herp derp derp whatever you say Wolf Blitzer

Eu community is smaller than before?!
Are you kidding? It has never been so big, and a lot of players are waiting for Strat and will come back.

Btw, even is there is not 2 big alliances (which is impossible) little clans will be crush by bigger clans anyway, crush or they should join the bigger one, what do you believe, this is Strategus, there will be blood!

In fact you're right guys, more i read your post, more i want a splitt strat too...

So, where is the fun in playing at impossible hours, with impossible pings? It isn't pretty, that's why in most games Americans plays in their servers while Europeans plays in Eu servers.
All will be happier to not play with 200 ping at 6 am, everybody wins.

200 ping at 6 am and then work in 3 hours, I think splitting strategus would be a great idea if not though, NA can always try to plan battles against EU when they're asleep and vice versa or just never attack one another for fear of having to fight at ungodly hours and with terrible ping.

imo, SPLIT IT.

The community is already split.  If the community was together in arms we would be playing in EU servers and having a blast no matter the ping. But were not are we? We have NA servers cause we don't want to play with 200+ ping.
I don't really care about Euros. Most of them aren't even on when I'm awake lol.  If their asleep and I'm awake we can't really have fun playing together. I think the community is just fine. And relating to what Brunch said, I don't think Euros have much of a community as they did before.  I would like the idea of making a poll of how many NA/EU players there are now who are active and how many of them would participate in Strat.

Compare number of servers in EU and the players on them to the NA ones, not exactly rocket science.

Now I think about it, a split wouldn't be a bad idea.

But it will be bad for some factions. Take fallen as example.

Yes, split them. Playing on NA servers as EU player is shit, totally ruins it. Same goes other way as well, i guess. Also, i imagine NA clans made their alliance in an effort to appear big and not have to fight numerically superior EU clans on their servers, but i don't see how they enjoyed strategus, being at peace all the time. Also, the night time idea is great.

p.s. stop -'ing me, pl0x.

I wouldn't normally endorse a split but considering the cross-server problems, unless it's fixed a split just seems logical. However I'd rather suffer through lag than have a split, or an entire half of the modding community outsourced to some third-party fuckwit who only wants e-Power. A split would only be logical to the community as a whole if it was done by the current official developers, otherwise it would turn into a cluster fuck of biased bullshit and would bog down this mods potential.

Bottom line, a split is only a good idea if the server issues are not fixed (I don't see a logical way to fix them..), and it's only a good idea if it's done by the official developers, outsourcing this would be very, very, bad!.

chadz ever posted his thoughts on this? id like to know if its a possibility ;{

Devs told me that all devs and admins supports the idea of splitting but chadz is against it, so it's unlikely we'll see implemented in the near future. Still no harm in expressing our opinions and i hope that with time chadz will realize that NA players can't really play with Eu players.

Yeah i think the big NA alliance is already happening with the northern empire.
I think it would be much more enjoyable for NA players to fight each other instead of do a single big alliance of all NA clans just to be sure they don't get attacked at impossible hours, so getting all the NA forced to have a permanent peace or to play as a secondary force (like a support to one Eu faction in strategus)

I hope for a split as well for the sake of good ping and reasonable hours.

[Topsnus]

The problem is that the player base is too small for a strategus split.

No it is not.

[Reinhardt]

I'm still against it. chadz is going to make strategus take much more effort and time and thought as far as waging war. So, if it's not constant war, why split? Also, wouldn't that further split the community?

[MountedRhader]

Something like a new york server where everyone has 100 ping besides a few would be the best option if there is no split.

Well, that would help with the EU playing on NA, but not vise-versa... I say leave it as is.

I believe chadz has a solution for it. we'll see...
