Split Map considering MOBAfire.

[quote=orochinagi][quote=Luther3000] Everyone should choose to move to the western server; literally, every single EU player. It'd be interesting to see Riot's reaction [quote=Xaioli] I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to US. huehuehue [/quote] trollface.jpg [/quote] I was talking about it with bigdaddypedro. Snowball effect of the free transfer: Guy A asks his friends where they are gonna be playing. He decides to go play on Western (example) cause Guy B is playing there. Since Guy A is going there, he'll tell his friends that he his going to Western (some will follow) and it begins snowballing that way. I'm guessing 80-90% of population will be hit by snowball effect (mainly since u have a free transfer). The remaining 10-20% will just be guys who don't care and want to play without queue. After some time, new players will also join the same server... mainly cause the friends who spoke about the game are in that server. Once again i'd say a minority will join the other server (that'll be the random "oh look a f2p game... lemme try it"). Bottomline: 2 servers, not much will change. Minor population loss[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]They would forcefully split us.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas][quote=Scrax] They would forcefully split us. [/quote] They can't do that or they risk losing a major part of their player base.[/quote]

[quote=orochinagi][quote=Scrax] They would forcefully split us. [/quote] And if they do that to the population later on... there'll be a lot more quits.[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]Like they are doing now you mean? :)[/quote]

[quote=orochinagi][quote=Scrax] Like they are doing now you mean? :) [/quote] They're keeping the transfer door open. So they're not really "forcing" a split yet[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]No, they are forcing you to choose friends. Either way it's ridiculously stupid, and they shouldn't have done it. Which is also why my attitude towards Riot now is very, very negative.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000][quote=Scrax] They would forcefully split us. [/quote] Perhaps, but if we forced them to do that can you imagine the amount of rage and QQ that would be generated? Doing that would almost certainly cause the majority of the EU playerbase to completely stop playing the game. Although I'm sure quite a few people are already thinking about not playing anymore.[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]If they are to treat their community like they do now it's probably for the best anyways >_>.[/quote]
