1. high ping? (a lot of lack?)

2. highly proportion in auto player? (many asian player use auto? or another asian player misbelief? )

3. they have more enhanced knowledge to make uber character?

(especially, MMO makes from asian nation....)

4. just service area separate policy

5. etc

p.s download Mabinogi (USA) OVER 45MINITE! (in korea  need only 2~3min)

but i cannot connect server  :-(

Because their english sucks.

in my opinion asians are pretty crazy with gaming ... i think they can take it a bit to far compared to the US/EU compatriats. alot of us do not like to rush through games and dont want to bot and auto play to capitalise the market with gold farming and item farming which is rife in games dominated by asians i.e lineage 2. thats not to say of course all asians are the same.. some like the same as the eu/us.

seperated regions work best to for the pure fact not everyone will speak an asian language and understand the asian culture. th

ere is also seperated servers for EU and US due to geographicals and in some cases cultural differences

to Amanautor

............(Because their english sucks. -> including me....--)

but Philippines and some asian-contury use english?

I know one reason darkfall did it because of population load. They couldnt handle EU / US ..they certainly couldnt handle adding players from Asia

To keep RMT activity to a minimum. Its a dated and ineffective way of doing it, but many companies still see IP blocks as actually keeping people out of their service.

I agree!!!!

Quite honestly, its been my experience that nationalism really rears its ugly head whenever Asians and Western gamers are grouped together.

I think Lineage 1 and Shadowbane had real issues with the player populations squaring off as Asian vs Western factions and it got really ugly at times.

Couple that with fact that some Asian nations require game developers to provide additional restrictions on players game time and its just easier to create servers that are separate for the two sides of the world.

Sadly sterotypes still exist on both sides, many Asian players have told me western gamers (especially Americans) are lazy, unskilled and not willing to work hard in succeeding in our games while many Americans have said Asians enjoy mindless grinders that cater to a collective mindset with little thought to originality or independent thinking.

Both views are not correct, but they still persist in a big way.

bias!!  lol

i don't like everyday/12h play and almost MMO player don't have long time to play MMO.

of course more people that crazy about MMO in asia

but these people had low proportion at MMOplayer and don't everybody want playing purpose of money

moreover. many hardcore MMOgamer play very short period

attention game -> rest a month -> attention game

p.s but i know only MMOplayer in koera.

i don't know about japan,chinaMMOplayer. sorry

I dont think it has much to do with population but probably more to the fact that  there is usualy a language barrier and that alone puts people into a seperate catagory,  plus many people  tend to discriminate .  I personaly want to play on a US server because I am an American. I can talk to anyone and I know that everyone will understand what I am saying.  I know in European Countries there are different languages, but I dont think there is as much discrimination.

Does this make any sense?
