This partnership does nothing else but help and acknowledge the Latin American Players. It is a really good start, considering EMP is bought in American Dollars, which in some cases, Double or Triple some of the Latin American Currencies, so having an option to actually use the currency of your country for EMP is VERY GOOD. When i was back in Latin America, playing games i liked was somewhat frustrating due to this problem, not having a way to buy shop currency with my country currency.
@Viru TERA NA has pretty much a global server. Containing the Latin American population in their own private server, i do not think is a good idea at all. It looks more like you want to exclude em for whatever reason you may have (i can think of many, but i will not say them to stay polite)
@Spacecats Thanks for the clarification. Also, by now, you should know that @WolfieYu is kinda the bad troll. Do not fall for his bait.
@Ginjitsu Pretty sure the BoaCompra site has something like Steam Wallet. It is called Go4Gold. If it works like Steam Wallet, or any other E-Wallet, you should be able to charge any amount of currency into it, and then set Elite to be paid from that wallet. Other than that, i have no clue how it works as i am no longer in Latin America to test the service.
70% negative but not troll lul
yes show us pictures from argentina, especially from buenos aires, people say it is nice city to live
Some people upset with BoaCompra partnership should do some research, there are things under your nose for years and you guys didn't had idea.
Talking as someone who lives in Brazil and play Tera, this partnership doesn't change anything for me. EME servers aren't good as they used to be, sometimes I get random dc's, for me and for some friends ping is very unstable and in the CU it has lots of spikes.
how so?
Edit: An analysis at this topic gives me the idea that people loathes the idea that they have to play with people from SA, and are upset because it sounds like EME is welcoming them. Racist much?
They're not giving you guys a server because you guys did not swipe them credit card like butter on bread. So this is their way of having that started.
Hoo boy, I hope you stretched before making the leap to that conclusion.
People are pissed off because they've stuck out a new payment plan whilst we have;
A. Dragons Cash shop only (HUGE topic of debate and outrage, and it only gets worse by the day)
B. CU Didn't even work for 2 weeks, and when it finally did it turned into a broken mess.
C. Servers have been super unstable recently, and a great deal of players aren't able to even properly play the game without getting wiped in a dungeon every 1-2 hours because the server decides to take a power nap.
D. The recent server merge has a lot of people worried about the status of the game due to the diminishing population. This ties in with the way that EME have been "behaving" recently. Be this intentional, or just how things have fallen, many features and items released recently are easily interpreted as an underhanded cash grab.
It has nothing to do with race. Go back to tumblr and start more change.org petitions for safe places in high schools.
The truth of the matter is that the web team has nothing to do with any of these other issues, and as a publisher this is important for all their games not just TERA. Making it easy for customers to give you money is a no-brainer for any business, and EME hasn't always done well in this area. It's not like they're going to fire the web team or can tell them to fix TERA bugs, stabilize the game servers, negotiate with BHS about dragon distro, or do anything at all to solve TERA's fundamental problems. But it still doesn't change the fact that the timing obviously looks bad, as we all pointed out from the start. It's entirely about perception and timing.
We are getting a new patch next week, they gonna fix the bugs and some new ones will come but its have been like this for years. Nothing is perfect.
Stop complain for something just because it wont bring something good for you.
They implement web and backend support systems for the publisher. For example, authentication systems, storefront/payment systems, ticket support systems, setting up forum and website CMS systems, third-party integrations, analytics, etc. It's the "platform" the publisher uses to market/deploy/support their games.

They're usually more the programmers than infrastructure people (though there could be some overlap).
Aside that, the problem is where to go. I mean, if you move to a different data center in Chicago tied to different backbone providers, it'll just be different people that have routing problems. It's basically rolling the dice. It's not like they're on a "bad provider" and across the street there's a "good provider" that won't have any routing problems. If you keep an eye on this there's basically always something going wrong with routing.
But anyway, probably the best thing is for people to keep doing their traceroutes to find the suspect nodes and send that to Support so they can at least pass it along. If there's enough documented evidence that the colo site in Chicago is the common cause of the problem, it could encourage them to look at other options.
