Hi Mortal community,
OCE player here who would like to chime in on the current server debates going on.
To put it short and sweet many NA players want their own server, the amazing team at Star Vault believe this would clash with their vision and have been arguing against an NA server for Myrland.
Personally I just can’t see any negatives to creating an NA server for Myrland. The NA / OCE player base would play there, and the EU player base would play on the EU server, it would be 2 Myrlands, but I believe it would still adhere to the same vision, some of the pros:
That being said I question how long a new regional server would take to implement. This would be the only negative that comes to mind, as the current architecture was built around a single region.
So I ask, Star vault, if a change like this is possible without months of work, please consider it in the short term, as a huge fan of the game and your team, I personally believe this is the right step for the game.
Would love to get the communities input on the matter, maybe you can elaborate on the pros and cons of creating a Myland NA server, let’s do our best to be constructive, and kind to each other.
Final note, some of the OCE players amoung us might wonder why I did not suggest an OCE server, unfortunately we just don’t have the player numbers. Down the track is we get to New world play numbers then sure, spin up and OCE server, I would love that more then anyone, but right now we just don’t have enough players to sustain a server.

- There is suffficient enough player numbers to populate both servers.
- Back in beta, even when their was only 600 players online the world still felt very alive (though it would likely be much higher number than this per server),
- It would cut a large portion of the player bases pings massively
- I would imagine this would help a lot with the queue times and distribution of players (queue comment is speculative)
- Your rep still matters by locking your character to the initial region you join unless you character reset (I am no game designer, but this is how I’d imagine a system like this would have to work to maintain the vision)
- The game would pull in many of the NA players on the fence due to EU only server
