Looking forward to farming some of those players from Nagafen here :D
RothgarQuote:I just wanted to let you guys know that we've been making some changes on the backend that will allow UK players from Runnyeye and Splitpaw to play on the same Battlegrounds servers as the North American servers. Since there is no language issue to overcome, this only leaves the problem of hotfixes and servers that are out-of-sync.
What will happen after the NA servers are updated, you'll no longer be able to connect to battlegrounds until the UK servers are on the same version. Typically your update window is later in the day so hopefully this won't be too impactful. Ideally you'll have a better play experience 90% of the time due to the larger BG server but there will be times that battlegrounds will be down for you.
I don't have an ETA on this change yet, but we're shooting for having it ready by GU56, so near the end of May.
Seriously though, for the EU English speaking players the BG's start when GU 56 is released, I've still yet to see what Ganak looks like and I've queued for hours... so the price of having a maximum 9 hours or so of BG's down per a week is well worth it.
I wonder if they can get over the language problems for the French/German players, I'll have to check on the forums, but I'd put good money down that the future solution will be them added to a worldwide US-EU BG.
