    I am also an EU player. First off, Gameforge is selfish. EME is not. Second of all, Community in EME is more friendly as far as i see, they are sweetly talkative :) you dont get bored while playing, dungeon finder might give you hard time till you level 65 but after 65 it is easy to find dungeons. EME is kind. EME gives very good gifts. EME has great Elite perks. Lag is always stable at 160 for me. NO lag spikes, I mean AT ALL. I experience better gameplay than GF. Economy is kind of better but there are some things that are more expensive than EU for example etching. You can buy any cash items through golds. These are all i can think of. :)

    Hey mang, good decision I must say. I've played in EU Killian for over 3 years myself and well switching to NA was a real step up fun-wise. Just as the guy above said, EME is on a much higher tier when it comes to being reasonable in contrast to Gameforge. I can already tell you that you won't have to live inside the game or sell your car to get that +15 top VM. Latency might be a bit of a downside but of course it all depends on where you live, I rather play here with 120-130 than in EU 30-40 which should tell you a lot.

    Battlegrounds/Instance matching pops faster, players are much more talkative and friendly.
    More events than there are usually in EU.
    Much more reliable maintenance times and announcements, although sometimes EME messes up too now and then.

    There are plenty of things I could list, but I'd rather say experience it for yourself, one endgame character won't take you long to obtain with buddy up and those easy to get XP boosts from Kumas vanguard.

    Good luck.

    How or where do I get a buddy up? I already own an account and created one character some years ago but did not play more than 10min, am I elegible for buddy up?

    Ok I found all information here http://tera.enmasse.com/game-guide/buddyup-system

    One question though, can you stack buddy up boost XP to that of Elite status?
