What if Sonic Team Merged the JP and NA/EU PC/PS2 Servers?

[goldbrease]

why not just merg the jp pc/ps2 and us/eu pc/ps2 servers then? that way we get updated faster.

I wasn't talking about the merging with the 360, I was talking about the merge with the *3 letter abbreviation*s.

I wasn't talking about the merging with the 360, I was talking about the merge with the Japanese.

LOL, my mistake. I don't know if that's better or worse. :P

LOL, my mistake. I don't know if that's better or worse. :P

Pros:
-More people to party with
-Share the same updates

Cons:
-Most of us can't communicate with them
-We will slow down their updates
-They hate us

From my experience, i haven't seen any hateful people on JP. basically, play and use common sense, and common courtesy which in itself a language that is understood by everyone around the world. I personally wouldn't mind merging servers so i can get a chance to play with some of you guys

Basically , we will jump and skip many update to reach the same point as them, but then... the whole server (JP+US) will update very slow again, because they have to delay due to problem on translate game from JP->ENG language (which I assume this is the work from US team)

Merging pc/ps2 US/EU servers with pc/ps2 JP servers I don't think it would be a good idea. We would skip alot of updates (or just get them all at once, which wouldn't be that bad), but we would lose a full event (Mission Carnival). And also, since we have such a low population on US/EU pc/ps2, it would become alot harder to play with english speakers (unless we player in our isolated universe) v.v

Merging xbox360 and pc/ps2 US/EU servers...I don't even know why they've been separated since the beginning...That merge would actually make sense. Same updates, english speaker population on both...I guess the only problem in this is Microsoft...or Segac <.<

[Reipard]

My understanding is that they use XBL's features and if they merge all servers, lose access to that and have to develop their own solution for voice chat and whatnot.

[Shou]

If we did merge we would just say that *uni15* is the english speeking univere so I dont think language is a problem.

[Abashi76]

well i thnk its a cool idea so chill guys.

Me too, thats how it should be. Its ashame that Microsoft won't let a connection between 360 & PC/PS2. It be nice to combine our servers with JP, just let the players go to the Universe with their language on it.
