Aloha,

So um, both servers are free... not sure why you think you have to pay.

We have the servers separated because you have a big pool of H2O between us and the EU folks, which lends to connectivity issues sometimes. That and we have separate teams to better support those players (languages and culture etc). You can create an account on both servers with the same credentials.

There is a big difference from EU to NA in terms of interaction though... The EU server tends to be a bit more, um, not-friendly, in terms of their interactions with each other.

That is not what I am saying at all. The real world doesn't involve being toxic to others in public. This isn't a socially or culturally acceptable thing on NA in general or the game.

Cultural differences lend to more blunt, straight forward and quite frankly IMO not appropriate engagements for gaming at times. The EU community tends to be far more competitive than we are as well, which also lends to toxic chat.

We on the NA side of the house like to focus the game on playing the GAME, not screaming, yelling, personal attacking other players because we can all be passionate about a game, but it doesn't mean we can't have fun playing the game.

Well careful with blanket statements. Because our competitive players and players playing in the competitive on the regular have INCREASED. In any game, you will have people that have played over a long period of time will leave, but we have a large amount of players coming in and playing those competitive game modes regularly.

TBH, you will see a lot of CCs show this or mention this (Jingles has said it numerous times) we on NA are more laid back and easy going and actually communicate in games, this doesn't always occur elsewhere.
