EU or NA server?

[RNS79]

Hi guys, I'm based in the UK on the Xbox 360 so the obvious choice would be the EU servers but reading a few posts it seems the EU servers are fairly quiet. My question is if i play my game on the NA servers will i suffer more lag in co-op or open world? or even worse make the game lagging for others.

Excellent question, I know there are quite a few EU players who are playing on the NA servers. I haven’t experienced any additional lag resulting from their presence, but I'm unsure how it is on their end.

Hopefully someone will chime in.

I'm in Na and on Na servers so I do not know an actual answer, but would say it's a 50-50 shot. I have an Australian friend and a Uk friend who tryed the Na server for 2 days but had a LOT more lag than they did on the Eu server so they quit playing on the Na server. I have other Uk friends who say they have MUCH better connections and less lag on the Na server, so they never play on the Uk server anymore. But remember I only know from friends, hopefully somebody with first hand knowledge can answer this.

Btw lots have switched to the Na servers because they seem more populated, but again not sure for certain.

Glad the Eu players are not lagging out your game as that would be the last thing I want. Whats it like for you EU players on the NA servers?

Just a side question; why do you have to choose? providing lag isn't an issue for anyone why can't everyone be on the same server?

Be glad we can choose. When the game was first made we had to play on our regional server and could NOT start a new character on the other server. Apparantly they way they have it set up, they beleive having a Eu server and a Na server is less strain on their system. Remember Trion is new to console games, so they are still unsure about it all, but seem to have finally started getting a slight hang of things.

Thanks for answering my question. Yeah games like these are very rare on consoles thats forsure and i can imagine put a fair bit of strain on the old hardware.

Off-topic but like your sig picture, batman would own Predator! Really unsure how the new superman, batman cross over movie will work though!

Thank you Arran, I've just finished patching so i'll go NA and see what its like, hopefully they will open up the servers and catch you in game sometime

Looks like a good answer to me. THat is the main reason I haven't bothered with trying Eu, of course I never cared about grinding enough to get past about 3000. But still don't want to start a new character, since they do not have any identity of their own.

I'm in the UK and have a character on the NA server. No lag to speak of so alls well.
Managed to set up the same character too and name lol.
