Want some more eu players T_T

Seems pointless. Having played on both east and west coast servers in the past(other mmo's of course) the primtimes were pretty much the same and there are plenty of east/west coast guilds to raid/pvp with. The only thing you'll be doing is cutting yourself off from the jsp community and losing trading opportunities.

That is true, if only it was because of the US West thing, wich is still annoying, but in addition to it, Zikel is now the "unoffical offical" oceanic server, wich according to what I have been seeing and reading, looks like its gonna become mostly a oceanic populated server cause US people are leaving it. So in the end we would end up with most server being oceanic, wich makes it alot harder for Legions and grouping. Plus I fear they will eventually officaly flag it as oceanic because they are getting alot of pressure from the oceanic people to do so, and it would be logical to have a oceanic server...

Most MMO companies don't have real Oceanic servers. Even WoW doesn't, their servers are based in the US still. The only difference in it being the "unofficial Oceanic server" is that oceanic players will have a chance to play with each other. From the looks of things right now it's still close to 50/50 for NA/Oceanic players which just means it's going to be a 24/7 server(meaning you'll have someone to play with or against at just about all times of the day. My old WoW server was like this and I personally loved being able to find guilds to raid with based on my schedule and people to play with no matter what time I logged on. It being "oceanic" has only made me want to stay on Zikel.

[East] Azphel GMT-5
[East] Israphel GMT-5
[East] Lumiel GMT-5
[East] Marchutan GMT-5
[East] Triniel GMT-5
[East] Zikel GMT-5
[West] Ariel GMT-8
[West] Kaisinel GMT-8
[West] Nezekan GMT-8
[West] Siel GMT-8
[West] Vaizel GMT-8
[West] Yustiel GMT-8

They switched the servers around oceanic players are voting on a new server.

Wow, we lost Zikel?
...

When Zikel was decided on it has no time zone, then it was west coast and the "unofficial oceanic server" which just means thats where aussies and NZ would play(that wouldn't have affected us at all.) Today it was changed to east and aussies no longer want to play there.

So essentially we are back where we started nothing to worry about.

WoW definitely has Oceanic servers. Go to the server list and look at the tabs on the bottom.

Anyways back on Topic, sort of.. I can't decide if I want to buy the game or not based on the beta :-/

No there isn't. The servers are located elsewhere. Having the oceanic tab just allows players from that zone to group together.

Which is the WHOLE purpose of having the Oceanic tab... to keep the Oceanic players separate. Who cares where the physical server is located..
