If TOS gets oceanic servers, it will help us Australians become more competitive since we will have the same lag free enviornmemnt as everyone else!

No. It will separate Australia from the main ToS playerbase and when the already low Australian numbers drop we will be left with either a dead server or will be eventually merged into the international anyway.
Oh, hell no, to Australian server.
NO!

Yea you are correct but it beats playing with 300+ ping, which can quickly become quite fustrating when you’re in pvp.
I’m with @Aries on this.
A better alternative is to just have unique PvP servers, instead of having an entire server.
This issue of latency applies to all so this makes more sense.
i.e. PvP Lobbies, Regional PvP servers.
Well if they don’t think of a way to make it more fair for the aussies then we are all going to fall behind.
I know what you’re saying but an Australian server is not a solution. You will just end up playing a gimped version of ToS. The latency is a small price to pay, and if its a good EastCoast US data centre, we will probably be under 200ms easy. Especially with the NBN rollout beefing up Au networks.
Yea, or services like lower ping might adopt TOS so that we can reduce latency.
For the most part, I encountered Australians on various SEA-based servers. Chances are, if Indonesia will have an English-translated client many players from Australia will gather there. Then again, international server pretty much equals big playerbase, so it’s a choice between that or less lag.
I would rather have a SEA server

I would rather have an international server first, within this century if possible.
You guys know? when you’re asking for an Australian server, what you are actually asking for is one guy with some secondhand system hosting the game from whatever random rented out space in Strathfield, with the game being looked after by him and a rotating staff of semi-unempolyed internet cafe asians… Right?
So you’re basically talking about Oceanic Ragnarok Online and how fail of a server that was.
Yer… But it’s a legit example. I mean thats what we got after all! Right?
My god, the GM’s on that server were pathetic… I remember them giving one of my mates whatever he wanted just becuase they knew each other in real life… terrible server.
Does Australia get bad ping from SEA servers?
That sucks. It seems like a cool place otherwise, though. >:
it’s a funny old place au…
I wouldn’t be surprised if any SEA server would be hosted from au so ping wouldn’t be the issue. But yes, traditionally au has had bad internet infrastructure for which we pay top dollar to use.
I’m on iiNet Nbn and it still sucks…
We have more then enough population if you include the phillipines, korea, china, new zealand and all the other asian countries. It also gives us pretty good latency. Looking at you ffxiv with your sea servers.
The only problem is there needs to a simple but effective translate function. Cant be too hard final fantasy 11 has been using one for over 10 years and it works pretty good.
