@Razvan yes, as I also said in Albion that 150ms ping wasn't as disruptive as it could have been in, say, League of Legends, where over 70ms you already feel clumsy. I haven't played Fractured yet so I don't have the feel of the game under my hands and I cannot say if it's gonna play like Albion or LoL, so I can't say what a good ping might be. That said, I'm also for huge population instead of fragmentation, when it's possible to do so. But if I have to sacrifice gameplay performances too much, then localization must be. These are all "IFs", for me at least, since I haven't seen it in play directly. And moreover we're far from reaching a critical server-stressing population right now, so it's too soon to say.
