Any chance of a US server?

[Euan]

The server's been lagging so much and as a melee it is so hard to catch anything and one little stutter and the enemy is out of range. Not sure if its because I'm in US or just melee has a bad hitbox but it sucks when you're right next to the enemy and you're spamming your attacks and it won't connect. I feel the server has been lagging because it's overcrowded, yesterday it was reset and still the lag continued which I had not previously had so much lag.

Probably not because of copyright laws.

Probably not because of copyright laws.

I hardly think the restriction is because of copyright laws. With Games Workshop, we're talking about an English company who sued German film students for making a noncommercial fan-film using their IP (Damnatus). EA has just as much reach abroad as they do in the States, and anyone who thinks they don't is fooling themselves.

If anything, I would think the reason why there's no NA server at the moment is somewhere between not actually needing one to support the number of players, and not being able to afford the cost of running one.

If you guys cant give us a us server that cool I guess, but can you atleast consider doing something about the melee range issue?

Like increasing the range of non aoe melee attacks from 5ft to 7-8ft or allowing abilities that can apply their effect multiple times (like rend, or mind killer, slayer/choppa toughness debuff) to apply the full affect/debuff on one hit so that I wont need to be stacked?

Nice one. Do you know the other with Totos?

Determining the root cause and appropriate course of action for melee range issues is a high priority IMO. Currently I am working on WB / SC unit frames and map updates, but I would like to start looking at melee Soon™. I frequently play a blackguard from east coast USA, I know how it can be.

Wasn't this issue already present while the game was live?

[Razid1987]

Not this again....

You don't think people from Europe is lagging these days? Seriously?

[backrow]

since yday lag is noticeable as hell (we're talking slide show at times), but that's due to crazy pop (today it's better but still not like, let's say two days ago)

Soon™

It's like WAR never shut down <3
