EU vs. NA datacenters

[Loony BoB]

Since there are a lot of people who are currently unsure about where EoFF's Linkshell(s) are going to end up, I thought I'd do a poll to see where people will be going so we can sort things out before it's too late. Obviously we can reassess later on, but I'm not wanting to get caught too unawares.

I'll stress that this is for your thoughts, not those of the rest of EoFF. Pick "Only" if you have already made your mind up and won't change. Pick 'Preferred' if you've not made your mind up but would prefer one region or another. Pick 'Either' if you seriously don't mind.

NA Only Raistlin (NA) Ouch! (NA) Rostum (Aus) Steelyangel (EU) Valerna (EU)

NA Preferred Xannidel (NA) Mirage (EU) The Summoner of Leviathan (NA) Lumos (NA) Vaughn (NA) Del Murder (NA) Dignified Pauper (NA)

Either Loony BoB (EU) smittenkitten (EU) Bierhumpen Kukki (EU) mini ninja (EU)

EU Preferred Tony Brewster (EU) Ariya Amari (EU) Raine Zenephiel (EU) Aulayna (EU)

EU Only Master Dice (EU)

I've included some prominent members of my Linkshell (Ariya, Tony, Vaughn etc.) that aren't registered here but are keeping up with things. At the moment it looks like we could have groups on both servers, but it's a tricky call. If people can correct any incorrect assumptions I may have made, that would be fantastic.

NA east preferred. I'm not sure if I would play seriously on a west coast server. The lag would be pretty huge. I'm also locked to whichever servers some of my friends are going to start on.

[Del Murder]

I prefer NA but I don't care as long as there are people I like playing on the same server and at the same time as me.

[Ouch!]

I am most certainly NA only as the rest of my current endgame and former FFXI group will be on an NA server.

[Roogle]

I am only allowed to play on North American servers, as I am compelled to represent my demographic in everything that I do.

[Del Murder]

I'll probably just join Ouch so that I can mess up all his endgame activities to the best of my ability.

I think BoB and I have more similar playing styles, but we also play at different times so it would be a moot point to be on the same server. Too bad because I bet him and smitten are fun to play with.

[Loony BoB]

I'm sure we'll catch each other at some point, even if it's with secondary characters we never use.

[Del Murder]

Yeah I will undoubtedly make a mule on your server just for pranking you.

[Ouch!]

What makes you think we've got room for you in the endgame group, Tmoney?

[Del Murder]

Ouch, Ouch!. Ouch.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Your assumption is correct, sir!

[mini ninja]

I can almost feel the pain caused by latency... Yet another thing is the time difference (( which is no problem for me since i'm used to be awake at nights and sleep during daytime XDD, But the other EU people )). However it would be nice to have atleast most of us in the same server , and i'm reaallllly looking forward to it (( yes i know, i've said it 260x times already))

PS: Still no beta key T.T, I'm dying !!!!

[Dignified Pauper]

I'm NA Preferred, definitely.

[Aulayna]

TBH it actually doesn't really bother me that much provided I have peeps to play with

[Loony BoB]

Update - With two EU-based members of our LS now decided upon moving to an NA server, it's likely the Fat Chocobos LS will be moving to an NA based server if Sargatanas is not already an NA server from the start. This should hopefully mean that all EoFFers can be in one. Now we just need to try to ensure that both Ouch!'s LS and Fat Chocobos LS end up on the same server to make it even better...

I've now updated the former list to be something a little more blunt
