This problem is very difficult to reconcile. You can't physically have both.
Thus (it's only my point of view) , averaging latency between both side - higher for US , lower for Asia/Aussie - would be a real fair deal; by not advantaging US giving more play-ability around the pacific. A latency >150-200ms for Aussie is crippling.

Same problem on the other side. The population is mostly concentrated (with few exceptions though, expat etc ...) in EU , Russia , Common Wealth. It appears to be cultural, with the exception of Japan/Korean/Singapour. I see (I'm no medium, so Imay be really wrong) no player from Middle East, Africa (except few from North Africa, but no Afrikaners surprisingly), barely from South America (Brazil), Central Asia. No signal from below the tropics. So finding a middle-ground further North in the Atlantic, in an acceptable range between US, EU and the western part of Russia would have been nice if physically possible. But it's not. The submarine cables are strangely wired in the islands. They draw weird paths. There are only direct lines between the continents, unlike Hawaii.

Ping has never been a consideration for me in any online game I have ever played. I don't normally know where servers are located and simply get used to whatever the latency is (as we all do). We've all managed to play DDO and gotten used to whatever level of ping we currently get. Apparently I am going to have better ping with this change simply because I am on the West coast and Orien seems to be on the East Coast based on the ping people are reporting, but I would be just as happy if the new servers were all put in the same location they are now and we all continued with the ping we adapted to a decade ago.

If most of our playerbase is from Europe they would make 3 euro servers and 1 US server not the other way around.

Exactly.

Its just too hard to tell, because polls like this just dont represent the full playerbase, not by a long shot. Axel did a poll on his Youtube, Cormyr and Moonsea won.

I will inevitably dip my toe in all 3 new servers, I will see what the pop looks like on the US ones around my usual times of play. When Thelanis was busier I didnt find it hard to find groups for raids or endgame despite most of the people I came across being from the US, so I highly doubt I will send the main to the EU one. It is just a question of how will the split of US players land. It will certainly be consolidated compared to now, but, are there 3 times as many players in US timezones than will land on the EU? Almost certainly not.

I remembered to go back and vote, we're going to Shadowdale *which Im taking my guildies word for it that they changed Oerik to*.
Interesting, my husband showed me the identical poll that had completely different results on Reddit. It was a good reminder ot be careful how much stock I put in polls to me.

With 335 votes on Reddit DDO, it still looks like Cormyr and Moonsea will have the largest populations, while all servers will have lots of players. Shadowdale seems a bit less popular than the other three:

Shadowdale has been gaining traction in recent days. It's still hard to say what the final population will be. But it looks like all servers will have a healthy population.

To be honest - I think the worst part of all this are the players who deliberately talk bad about other servers to promote their own.

Thats distasteful to me. Promote your own choice in a positive manner but dont go the stupid "presidential campaign" route of trying to discredit others.

Agreed! I've seen some of that... not very nice at all. It's better that all servers are good and healthy.

Exciting and sad in equal measure. It's hard to say goodbye to friends and gaming groups that have been with us for over a decade. It's exciting to think about the new friends we'll make and what the new servers will be like.

This is what I feel. I know it's logistically impossible that everyone I know will migrate to the same place. Of course I'm scrambling around to coordinate with my non-guild friends as best I can, but it is what it is. Bittersweet.
