Needless to say, I agree that a merge would probably be best. As well as getting our patches that Bandai Namco owes us. I don't believe it's taking that long for Microsoft or Sony to approve them, since we've not even released half the patches Japan has received. Someone, somewhere, is sitting on them.

If Anything a server merge would make the wait for the patches a bit more bearable for both sides. i definitly support a merge.

I'm from Australia and every time I get a 10k territory, it's in flames the next day and no-one attacks it for the hours it takes for the AI to take it from me anyway. Basically, this undermines the entire territory system because you can't defend territory, you can't raise its rating, and all it takes for someone to repossess it is a time zone difference and twelve hours of no-one attacking. Which happens all the time. Another facet of the game which suffers from small playerbase is the Mercenary system. When there are no mercenaries in the entire region registered, and this is a common occurrence, something is wrong.

I don't know what the technical side of it is. But at least merge EU and US. We simply don't have enough players for the online to work, and US can use all the players it can get as well.

Will the region-locked servers ever be merged?

No, unfortunately due to the way the game is designed it is unlikely that the servers will be merged.

Join them! Merge them as one! Do it, do it noowww! Seriously though, Armored Core Vs online community seems dead already. Can't get people to get online on my team, can barely do conquest matches even and thats the whole point of the persistent world isn't it? No patches, server splits, lack of clear attention to non-Japanese servers. FROM and Bandai your killing us over hear in the states. You had a chance, maybe still have one, to get people into this game/genre and your blowing it to the point where your losing die-hard AC fans.

Yeah, it's a bit difficult here in the US... but the EU servers have it worse off... Judging by the last 'copies sold' report I saw they're at about 10% of the US playerbase... :/
