League of Legends EU is going to be split up

[quote=iLunatic][i]Summoners! Over the last couple of months we’ve been working on an action plan to drastically reduce the amount of service impacting issues affecting our European platform. We’re finally at a point that we can share our plans to bring more stability to Europe. Presently, the PvP . net service in Europe is supporting hundreds of thousands summoners playing League of Legends at any given time – orders of magnitude bigger than what a typical massively multiplayer environment supports! And while we’re extremely excited by the enthusiasm and passion that you have all shown for the game, it has presented complications that we have been trying to resolve. Specifically, we want to reduce lengthy login queues at peak hours, eliminate our reliance on New York based overflow servers, and drastically reduce the number of unexpected server outages. For these reasons, we have been making preparations to split our European service onto two new platforms: EU West and EU Nordic & East. Once this split is complete, your summoner will only be accessible on the platform that you’ve landed on. Each of these platforms will be able to support the same number of players as the current European environment, dramatically increasing our service quality and paving the way for future growth. That being said, switching over to our new, dual platform setup will be quite the logistical feat. In the coming weeks we will be assigning players to their new platform. We did our best to avoid separating groups of friends, but if you should find yourself unsatisfied with your destination platform, we will be facilitating one free transfer between the two platforms following shortly after the split. In the meantime, we’re putting restrictions in place to improve stability for those already in-game.[/i] [i] We will be reducing the maximum number of players who are able to queue at a given time and players joining after this cap is reached will see the Server Status set to Busy. We know that this isn’t an acceptable solution, but it’s the best we can do until we’ve completed our EU Platform Split.[/i] This appeared on LoL EU front page. Opinions?[/quote]

[quote=Crazy Smurf][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe]Check it out.[/url] They said, Northern + Eastern Europe and Western Europe. All i have to say - where is the damn justice? I really DO hope they are not going by this world split system or else N. + E. servers will be screwed... Russia needs a server for themselves...[/quote]

[quote=Piksel4o]So what happens If I'm EU west, and want to play with some of my friends from EU East..?[/quote]

[quote=Crazy Smurf][quote=Piksel4o] So what happens If I'm EU west, and want to play with some of my friends from EU East..? [/quote] Thinking logically... it will be impossible.[/quote]

[quote=Piksel4o]But I really wanna >.< Don't know what to think... On one hand, being able to actually play the game is great. On the other, being unable to play with my friends and the team we've been building kinda sucks...[/quote]

[quote=Blackleafdragon]Well, if you check the post, it says u get 1 free transfer to the other server. So u can play with your friends. But u will have to leave your own server with your friends on there. Even tho they released a huge FAQ i still DONT know When they will split up the servers exactly. Anyone of you know this? btw, we get a IP boost for 14 days :D Hurray that it is vancation *non stop gaming ofc*[/quote]
