vingolf1542 is est im in the server
To be honest, the devs never inform us on which time zone the new server will be added. If I'm allowed to guess, the time zone they will likely select for new servers is the most popular zones. I might be over the top for saying this but Oceanic feels like an abandoned house. I have a character on that zone and do you know how long it took to fill up a team of gold wyrm there? If you are lucky, it will fill up under 15 mins. Otherwise, you will have to wait longer since there are not that many players playing on that zone. What I'm saying is, the devs might not see the point to keep releasing a new server on less crowded zone.
