Bringing this up now as it'd be a nice idea to launch game with these - as we know in GW2 Oceanic players critically change the score of 24 hour pvp by being awake while rest of world sleeps, which seems to irritate the sleepers. That's a point US people could get behind, even if they don't care about the larger pings people down here will face if Oceanic servers aren't made available.

Any thoughts for or against?

I have never seen this issue brought up, so I have no opinion about it.

However, there will only by one server. So there's no need to worry about different server areas/types.

Ah yes that's a point. Forgot that =) So will Europe be playing on the same server as US people? That would even out the 24/7 pvp at least - Oceanics took a lot of flack for playing during our natural hours in GW2 pvp - don't want to go through that again. Any idea where the data center will be located oO

I think that European players will be able to play with US people. Unless one of the filters on the "pocket servers" is "Location", of course. I don't know where the data center will be, however. I'd assume where ZOS is located, but I could be entirely wrong

Where is ZOS located?

I am almost sure (i though i read it somehwere), that there will be 1 European megaserver, and 1 US megaserver. Oceania will be probably part of US server.

Really? That brings me back to my OP then - just with the 24/7 pvp flack we took ("problem" we create by being awake when US sleeps) the US people might want to support Oceanic servers. Let alone having a target reticule to attack is a problem with higher latency. I don't expect US to care about that, but we will be awake when you guys sleep in 24/7 pvp.
