Garena SEA closes

and players there get merged into the main realm.

is this good or bad news?

Alt-arts collectors:

We screwed again GGG ( :D )

Nostalgic:

The globe girls are missing, now that all parties except the chinese play together, they could restore the old trademark of poe!!!

The serious guy:

As i welcomed Russian Garena players when they has been merged here i can only welcome SEA players aswell.

The ironic one:

I don't see how it could be a bad news at all ^^ People play PoE alone anyway :D

The PoE forum regular user:

OMG OMG OMG OMG AFTER RUSSIANS SEA PLAYERS ARE INVADING US MEEHHHHH :'(

The alcoholic:

I don't care aslong i can keep going with my beer.

AFK IN CHINA:

THIS IS A BUFF ! A BUFF YOU HEAR ME !!! 6% MORE PLAYERS !!!!

International Dinosaur Geography center:

MORRRREEEE TRADINNGGG ! RRRROOAARRR

The guy from 50':

Say no to trading SEA players ! With a single rock and a paper you can have enough fun in PoE.

PoEPoll LLC:

Daily poll tadaaaaahhh! is it a good or a bad news ?

Lab haters:

I want the lab removed i don't give a shit about SEA players or anything else.

PoE haters:

The game is so dead that we need SEA players now.

Trump:

We need a wall.

B_ _ M : ( sorry it was hard to find something less ... obvious )

Peace

Me:

Welcome folks ! Hope you will enjoy the run ! :)

Note: if you dislike irony and feel forum users could recognize you to easily please let me know in private message and i will remove the concerned part ( by courtesy and because forum rules ).

i think you pretty much covered it all :)

my personal concern is with ggg having to delay stuff because there probably is alot of work to be done with the merge.

also financially, it was probably more profitable to let garena run these regions and get monthly cash for some small changes to the client.

last question would be if former garena sea people will still support the game, is it more expensive for them now to buy points?

I think it was planned since a while so GGG is already ready to include this in their agenda for upcoming updates. Can't confirm anyway only support can eventualy do it.

I don't really know if it was for financial purposes all i know so far is some games have to choose distributors in some regions of the world like China ( often for politics reasons at all that's fucking sad ).

Your last question is a very valid point i would be interested to know how it's going to be handled about the supporting part.

seriously? there is no proof people from the sea region cause more harm to the game than other players. in fact it's the opposite, i've been in the region sometimes and the tech savy guys i met were all honest and contributing to the groups they formed.

totally different culture than in western capitalism where people are mostly just looking to push their personal gain from grouping up.

I live in SEA, So it doesn't affect me much. The lack of PoE Advertising here proves how bad Garena handled PoE anyway. Glad I saved some headaches and tears playing PoE directly here instead from Garena.

Also hope with this merge we'll have the Singapore Gateway listed again and not hidden. And also Steam.

The game is so dead that we need SEA players now. This is because they still haven't removed the lab. And thus, after the Russians, now the Asians are invading us! We do need a wall! Still, we should make a poll about it to know what everyone really thinks.

Peace,
B__s

thank you, thank you! no thread is complete without it!

although, the globe girls are missing, now that all parties except the chinese play together, they could restore the old trademark of poe!!!

btw: there is even a german party who want's back the wall. not very successful though but they made it to the european parlament nonetheless only to ask "the real questions" there.
