Will Eternity bring back the EU server ?

What do you think ? Personally as an EU player the latency is my biggest problem which makes a lot of the end game content a lot more difficult. I wanna cry when I see US players performing actions several times more frequently and faster than me.

    I think if Europe had tried merging their servers, rather than removing channels, to save costs, their Mabinogi install might've, at least, lasted longer. After it being shut down after what? 10 years? I can't see Nexon trying again as it will only divide the community here, possibly leading to both installs eventually failing.

    It also depends on how many players join after the Eternity Update is complete. If we get big numbers like FF14 flooding our server it may be profitable for Nexon to server for EU and overseas players. For NA players specifically I would prefer it if they would just keep increasing number of channels and server capacity instead of making new servers. Even with a ton of new players new servers are only important for improving ping for EU players. Aside from that everyone is much better off on one big super server.

    Agree with the super server, with a new engine likely comes new server infrastructure. I think it'd be useful just to have some channels be EU based with better ping for those regions, but still everyone is a part of the same server. Other games have done this, no reason Mabi can't.

    Actually, that is possible, since the channels are actual physical servers. Of course they'd have to figure out how channel specific activities work; for now it'd have to be tough poop <insert victim region>. But if they let our European friends be the guinea pigs here, they might gather some important data to help them implement a true world-wide install.

    EDIT ADD:
    The other thing they could do would be to move shop to Halifax Canada, which would be a lot closer to Europe while still being in North America, in a city that would probably bend over backwards to get them to relocate ...

    or Boston Mass.
