How the servers work, are all the servers in China?

[淳司 Milf Enjoyer]

Hi, I just purchased the game and I tried to join a server, I'm sure I'm selecting NA prefecture or whatever, but it shows more than 160 to 230 latency on every server, and all the guilds have chinese characters, also the global chat is full of chinese speaking people. Am I doing something wrong or are all the servers located in china? If that's the case I would like to get a refund so I would appreciate your help.

Look for the "Region Exclusive" server -- yellow background for PvP, green for PvE. They are region locked.

People smack talk it and claim it doesn't work but if you actually go there, all the NA non-locked servers are overrun by Chinese guilds and run by Chinese guilds. All the NA region locked servers are owned by guilds that at least have English spellings and if you go to one, all the guilds names are in English. So region locking appears to work fine.

I regret selecting a non-locked server. I wasn't afraid to fight the Chinese but we are literally the last English speaking guild on our server. They have very intentionally ran everyone else off so they can use this server to farm copper, which they sell.

You can't just pick an SA server. You have to pick one that is specifically region locked. They have a yellow or green background color. A lot of people picked region servers and didn't realize they were not actually region locked.

Devs said certain prefectures would be region locked but what actually happened was only certain servers within those prefectures were region locked.

Frankly, they should either shut down or region-lock all servers.

The Chinese farmers are going to kill this game's population. Which ironically means they will have no one to sell to.

That's normal since the region war which overlaps a cluster of server instances (Prefecture is the cluster of servers while counties are those servers which is both PVP and PVE as well as regionlocked and open) is controlled by the strongest guild in this case, Chinese veteran guilds (who are around for some years already) tend to win over newbie guilds. American and european lacks the grit, knowledge or craziness to grind to make it so (Most hide in PVE with only 1.0x rates vs 1.8x in PVP open server).

You can see the matchup of the current prefecture wars, the rare few english guilds only managed to reach round 2 and then get wiped out.

There should be some region locked servers that only has english speaking guilds. As I said, most lack the grit to endure playing the game thus not as active. lol.

I think only exception is a few rare Russian guilds that are hardcore enough for Europe. Though not english...

Oh, to give you an idea of amount of activity done, look at the rankings, typical activity points for top ranks are around 5 million for a player.... While those who scrap the bottom of the barrel only played enough to have 0 to 1 milllion or so at most.

that's a shame, you're right the servers should be region locked like any other game. I already refunded, but this game has a lot of potential so I would like to give it another try in the future if they fix this problem.
