NA ping for EU players?
Still in shock how Steven can make his baby (Ashes) be published by the worst publisher out there. And I'm not just talking about p2w, their games have issue with cheaters, hackers and security.
With ashes having action combat I can just see how there will be aim bots in the game from day 1 and my.com will never get it fixed. On top of that the support is horrible.
So me and my friends have no faith in my.com at all!
We have been looking forward to Ashes. But after the announcement of my.com we started discussing if we have to look elsewhere for a new mmo.
Then I saw people talking about playing the game on NA servers.
Since I haven't played a lot of games that have their servers in NA I'm wondering how bad the ping will be?
Thanks!

But I'm hoping that it will be possible to play it on NA servers without having the biggest issues, if not we have to look for something else to play.. And I'm saying this with a heavy heart!
Basically, my.com will handle customer support and host the servers for Europe. Game content and billing is exclusively done through Intrepid Studios.
My.com will not have access to modify the cash shop or anything else, so we should be fine.
I'd probably have to rewatch the interview about that.
If anyone has experience with playing long term on an NA server and can offer advice, it would be much appreciated
I am not willing to have my.com involved at all with anything close to my account or responsable to patch and fix the game, and if I could get away from their servers as well that could be the saving grace we need.
I heard something that the client would go through Intrepid Studios do that mean that my.com are not involved with fixing bugs and so on?
- Intrepid will handle NA accounts, My.com will handle EU accounts
- Intrepid will handle packaging and updating for both regions
- My.com will handle EU customer service and host the game server
Question is, who does EU billing?
And what happens when a baby stays home alone for to long? I also belive its more then two but there are two that they shit all over the table on.
Im guessing EU players wount be able to create NA accounts?
Obviously, time difference not being possible
That said I have to be honest and say I've never had a problem with My.com in the games I play and all these complaints seem to be amazingly unspecific.

New Zealand often has better ping to NA and EU servers than AU servers, simply due to that fact.
However, a point I think a lot of people are forgetting with Ashes is that server regions are more about time zone than ping.
Each server region will have a window in which sieges can be held. This window will happen every night during that server regions peak period.
If that window is 7pm - 10pm est (plausible), that puts it at 1am to 4am CEST.
And again, this is 7 days a week.
What that means is that if you live in the EU and opt to play on NA servers, you will likely be missing out on all siege aspects of gameplay unless you are able to stay up gaming until 4am.
I am from germany, and am also used to play on NA servers.
In eastern MMOs my Ping avg reaches up to approx. 230ms
Though i expect AoC running with between 100-180 MS at max.
I am not sure where you come from, nor if you gonna play during the Testing Phases, but if you like me to do so, we can add each other and ill PM you my personal results (without VPN).
I think Torkel has a point. If you've fucked it up 100000x times before, what's the odds you'll get this one right?
So let me readjust my statement to this: "I am quite sure he's gotten 30 % of his initial investment back." Since I'm not sure if the company is posted on the stock market m.m. Nor do I know if he has other backers that expect a revenue in the future. And I didn't even consider the deal with my.com as I basically figured he was paying them to host the servers^.^
Wrote a lot more, but TMI. I still don't think the argument about him tossing in his own money is a strong argument in either way. Regardless, I am still here aren't I^.^ Even after my.com ruined a few nights of good sleep... lol
