Tbh tho, i'm not sure how much any1 cares (i certainly don't), but then i have 0 perspective on what ppl from the other countries think. I'd rather that WCG's fuckup results in too many people going to WCG than the wrong people or too few. In this case, the only person bending over backwards to clean up the mess is WCG. | ||

But it realistically was always the best option and kind of silly that RIOT never bothered to say "hey we are going to make sure we can do everything possible to make this right" instead of "hey we are going to do everything possible to make sure this never happens again." The difference in those 2 statements is incredible. I think Riot has learned their lesson with saying things too soon (e.g. Magma Chamber, shiny update, etc.). Could you imagine if they made an announcement but it couldn't get WCG Korea to agree? The community has certain expectations when Riot posts something and there will be backlash from the disappointment even if Riot says they are did their best. I like it better this way - get things done and let the actions speak for themselves. | ||

But I'm not hating, I'm happy for CDE, and they deserve to go to Korea after the shitty treatment by WCG. If this shit had happened with the EU qualifiers, people would have demanded the same. And I'm really happy for Dyrus, the guy was so happy when he though he was going to Korea. | ||

Wouldn't it be more due to geographical constraints of where their servers are located and the ping between them? | ||

Still getting some occasional login queue at peak hours too, even with server split. | ||

(iirc) There was also such a massive load on the login server that they simply had to split it in half to manage it edit: just a note this is just my interpretation/recollection of what happened, dont quote me on this ^^; | ||

I was just thinking that, logically, splitting EU due to server load doesn't say anything about the relative sizes of EU and NA. That's only true if the server banks in EU and NA were designed to support the same number of players. That would indicate that EU could not support enough and NA hasn't had issues. There's no public indication given that that is the case. So if NA was designed to house X and EU was designed to house X/2, just because EU overwhelmed its servers does not mean that EU > NA. You can see this clearly by the example. You can clearly explain a server overload without being able to ascertain the populations of the realms. But I could believe that LoL is bigger in EU than NA. I don't think MOBA/ARTS games are all that popular in NA relative to EU and probably much less popular than FPS in NA. | ||

Note that both options dont promise anything- the first one merely says we are going to look into trying to fix this, and even if they cant do anything they can come back and say "hey, we tried, WCG wont let us make it right, we are sorry." | ||

We're not just comparing the US, we're comparing NA. ~530 million for NA and ~730 million for EU. EU has the lead, but for NA-based games the market share is usually artificially higher in NA generally. | ||

Ymir has confirmed on several occasionals that the EU LoL population is considerably larger than the NA pop. | ||

That way you're rewarding good positioning more and punishing bad positioning. Good for the game all around. Zileas has said specifically they will not add in a toss like Tiny's because of the high potential for griefing with it. | ||

They had thrown all the hardware they could at it and had tried to deal with it on the software side as well, but no1 had ever had as large of a 'realm' so to speak before. that suggests to me that there were more in eu than na @Kyhron, its actually the continent of NA (and some of SA i'm sure, brazil huehuehue) vs the continent of EU. not just US | ||

Personally, it sounds like someone did some not-so-great coding back in the day and they're paying for it now. In any event, I'm pretty sure EU is bigger. | ||
