Player from EU region thoughts

Hello there good wow community I am writing here to share my experience with US folk so far in wow.

Been playing on and off from EU to US region and I’ve noticed huge positive differences between the regions that I wanted to share with you guys.

  1. More friendly and social people.
  2. People actually help each other out.
  3. Feeling of an open world.
  4. Positive experience so far.

1 . I have noticed that you guys are more social and more receptive people compared to my EU folk had wonderful and friendly conversations :grin: so far feeling wanted.

2.Always received help with a quest or a help killing elites I couldn’t there were always people doing content everywhere which is a huge plus for me.

3.There are always people running around everywhere world doesant feel empty like EU region there are always people in the world doing content of every kind: Dungeons,Raids, achievement hunting,professions and just exploring.You don’t see that,that much in eu region which now made me addicted to the game and I love it.

4.In conclusion overall positive experience so far and I hope US community does not disappoint me keep this good vibe coming in the future and I will stay forever here xD.

Got my best friend to play here aswel he curses me for getting him addicted again to wow here on US region.

Edit: to add my fav wow expansions are:

1.Wotlk.
2.tbc
3.WOD
4.Legion
5.DF
6.WW
7.Vanilla

I don’t think you worded this properly. It sounds as if you were playing US and switched to EU if you found friendly people. :laughing:

FWIW, Server matters a lot.

It’s very possible you could have found a more active server on EU that might have checked more of the boxes you’re checking on NA servers now.

Moon Guard (US) is probably one of the most chatty servers on NA where the chat isn’t just a bunch of actual spam, so I’m not surprised you’re seeing it as more friendly/social.

That said, I’d wager the “always people in the world” thing probably applies mostly to Dragonflight (because new accounts are shoved here and it’s the default leveling path for people who don’t use Chromie Time) and TWW (because it’s the current expansion) vs the rest of the world.

I say this because RP Servers do not CRZ in old content (for the sake of not disrupting RP). Which can make older leveling zones feel a lot more empty than non-RP Servers.


Edit: You’re Horde. Huh. If your experiences are on this character, I’m honestly surprised. Try Alliance on the same server sometime. If your experiences are on another character, that makes more sense though.

Wasn’t vanilla not the most social out of all those? Why would you rate it bottom tier?

That’s only one factor.

Maybe they didn’t like the endgame.
Or class design.
Or didn’t know anyone yet.
Or started 2 months before TBC Launched.
Or only played Classic, which has an entirely different social dynamic.

(Also they labeled these as their favorites. There are expansions not on the list, so presumably they at least enjoyed all of the ones listed)

As a former EU player and a current US player, I can confidently say that the differences between players are minimal.

The idea of flattering Americans by criticizing Europeans is a strange approach.

From my experience, the attitude toward the game is far more serious in Europe. You would never find someone in your RBG group on the European servers casually saying they just want to have fun. In Europe, the game is taken much more seriously.

Other than that, there aren’t any significant differences. Even the forums are similar, with overlapping topics and discussions.

Yes, we suck. We know it. I apologize for us.

Well that was unexpected! I am happy. I’m used to people thinking we’re horrible people, so I’m glad you’ve had positive experiences!

You’re blatantly lying. I just don’t understand why you need to do this.

Im not lying but believe whatever you want to believe :smiley: .

Ive played on eu region since 2005 then stopped then started again in WOD on retail i know what im talking about.

I also played on Europe from 2008 to 2022. I know what I’m talking about too. You are blatantly lying, and I still don’t understand why you feel the need to do so.

im not but as i said believe what you want you clearly have some political agenda to defend but you dont need to because im not saying bad stuff about the continent in general im saying a video game ppl from EU are bad.

But again you are a clearly a troll with a political agenda.

So im done talking to you if you are gonna troll me of lying.

What the hell are you talking about?

The level of toxicity is the same in Europe and America.
The level of gameplay in Europe is higher due to a more serious attitude toward the game.
This is a fact that no one who has played endgame content in both regions would dispute.

I’d also like to point out that you haven’t played endgame content in America, and as for your claim about playing in Europe, I seriously doubt it.

It’s clear that you’re just trying to stir up arguments on the forum with your absurd statements.

Jeez man how much is Europe paying you

Just imagine the mindset of this person, creating a thread solely to disparage EU players.

I would never let something like that slide.

Do you defend everywhere, or just europe?

I stand against people like that everywhere.

I’m sure they create similar threads on EU as well.

They’re just a typical provocateur.
