What server for UK
What server are UK players going to be on?
I nearly learnt spanish playing the open beta.

Also getting the server list is nice,(amazing if you're a streamer fan boy) but useless if I need to join one to find out I don't speak that language.

A few languages for EU are specified on the New World forums:

Nonetheless, plenty of other European languages which may seek to find their home on a particular server. In the end though, considering on as to how by far the majority of north western European MMO gamers (next to UK, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish by minimum) speak English quite well (bar the occasional accent), I wouldn't be all too worried about finding yourself on a server on which you don't speak the language.

The remnant smaller European languages are likely not numerous enough to truly bring a major impact to any server by having their language present. They may cluster into companies, but I don't think it'll be all too much more than that.

The only exception possibly is Russian though. Large country, high number of gamers, but without any designated server it's a bit of a guess where a majority of them will move to.

Nilfheim for me, was mostly english language in both beta's, good balance of pvp and pve and most players seemed pretty chill, very little toxicity in global chat.

They need to have an EU server that is exclusively English, At least a couple. If you are going to designate servers for French, German etc, then English should also have that exclusivity. As an Aussie living in EU, i'm really not looking forward to having to read a bunch of different languages I don't understand.

I agree, we really need some designated English language servers only rather than the language mix, basically if you are a minority on a server where the majority only speak or communicate in a language you don't understand it's going to have a major effect on your game play. If Amazon won't do this, then as a community we will have to decide ourselves which servers English speakers should congregate on, not sure why they can't just provide this basic guidance without the ambiguity though.

I see Hades was mentioned above, so If UK/EN speakers decide to go there we can make that the unofficial UK/EN speaking server ourselves with maybe Hellheim as the secondary one.

Amazon's regional breakdown does seem rather odd.

Usually you have some break down between Western and Eastern Europe for regional nodes due to the sheer distance involved, yet Amazon are treating the entirety of Europe as a single 'Central Europe' locale, yet felt the US needed to be broken down into East and West centralised nodes.

Given the location for major Amazon data centres in Ireland, London, Milan, Stockholm and Frankfurt, you'd have thought they'd have put a bit more thought into European regional categories to allow for more directed community forming. As it stands, their generalised 'Central Europe' is likely to also be the most immediate go-to point for additional countries around Europe like Turkey, which generally also have very strong Turkish speaking only (Or very limited English) player communities that are pooled into Amazons overly broad "Yeah it's all just Europe" paint stroke so will likely be looking for shards to call their own.

Based on how they're calling it 'Central Europe' in-game and they now refer to their Stockholm centre as their 'Europe Centre' replacing the old site in Ireland which was previously their primary centre, I guess it's all off to Sweden we go as far as general latency goes between User -> Local node point -> Central data point syncing it all. :)

Played Nilfheim in Beta and found that to be very friendly and an English speaking server, so thinking of going there again. Hades will be very popular and possibly have queues so nice to have a backup. Myself and guild have decided we'd rather like to play than sit in queues lol.

Looks like a huge streamer (Fextralife / GADGET - Covenant - Impact - very high -722000)
is heading to Hades :( So Nilfheim is looking like a better choice for us!

Ugh, really need to avoid streamer servers, so yeah Nilfheim or Hellheim would be the better choices then.
