Riot has stepped onto a large landmines, and they are not going to like the feedback. Its like a sign in my alegbra 1 class had.

"Never underestimate the power of an uninformed group of people."

I will toast you over your grave Riot.

For suffering EU mobafire people, yeah I'd say you all server transfer to one side or the other. Make a thread about it, and someone sticky it, or something.

How about all/most of mobafire switchs over to one side of the EU servers? Someone make a poll and we vote, the server with the most votes wins and we transfer (or stay) on that server?

I mean, the main language of Austria is german. Why they split Germany and Austria up? And didn't even give the german language to North/East?

And my Draft Racing will be impossible now, because most of the people there are from Germany and Austria...

You see, I am german^^.

So I've had some more time to think about this now, and honestly I think it may be the worst thing Riot has ever done.

I mean, you're splitting up not only teams, friends and communities, but what about the tournaments and rankings? How are they going to work with EU split in half?

I just think the whole idea is completely stupid and Riot are going to alienate and anger people on both sides of the split. Even if we do all go to one of the two servers, people are going to end up playing out of their native area, and I don't think we should have to. It's just so silly and unnecessary. I don't know a thing about servers, but I'm damn sure it's possible to handle the whole of EU with the right hardware and setup - after all, there are many other games that can manage to do this.

Very angry.

Haha seems I'm a rare case since I don't have a problem with this. If this provides me with a game that let's me play when I want instead of crashing and queues, allright.
They stated that they will give you a free transfer if you're unhappy with your new location so I don't see this being such a huge problem.

I suspect at least some people rage without even having looked at the FAQ http://eu.leagueoflegends.com/eu-platform-split-faq

This line especially needs some attention I think

"Why do you have to split the European platform? Why can’t you just add more servers to the existing platform to accommodate the additional demand?

Unfortunately, the issues that we’re running into cannot be solved by simply adding hardware. There are software limitations involved in handling such a massive number of players that only get more difficult to solve as we add more and more hardware to the environment.

For context, this is the reason why most massively multiplayer services shard their playerbase across multiple platforms within a region to keep numbers more manageable and limit reliance on login queues."

Then Riot needs to upgrade their software, instead of crippling their community and (I bet) lose a lot of players in the process.
