None of those you listed other than NZ should be counted into the OCE gaming population.
That’s just being selfish…
(also odd since all of those will get better latency with the KR/PH servers…)
I live among those regions you mentioned.
In fact I probably get the second best latency to Australian servers round these parts.
I wouldn’t play on OCE unless I had no better choice.
(and those include NA East, West, KR, JP, RU, CN and my own area)
I dont want the server in Australia dear god the game would be dead in 6 months before of our broken and greedy telecommunications companies.
All i want is a game with 100 latency or less. Not 220 to 180 with NA servers.
I dont understand how anyone would like to play a game where its unfair or the other closer players have an unfair advantage. 100ms or less is close enough to human reaction times.
Singapore would be the best choice in hosting. Its up there on the top ranking connection speeds, Might not be the cheapest for them to host though which will all come down if its profitable for them.
i for one would love this game a whole lot more if there were dedicated Oceanic Servers to play on
all for Singapore or anywhere that is cheap really. Need oceanic server and a semi decent PR so the game is advertised.
The Oceanic playerbase in this game would be large enough, you don’t need a lot of people to make the server feel alive. And the advantage of lower ping is hugely important, not just for PvP but also makes a significant difference on auto attack focused builds and ability queueing. And with how they host their servers with Amazon it should be easy enough to get servers in a data centre in Australia.
Telsiai has been designated as SEA. It would be logical to assume this server would be placed in Singapore as it is the most optimal location for an Oceanic server.
I would love to see an Australian ToS server hosted in Sydney or Melbourne for PvE that was linked to SEA for Dungeons and PvP.
I have no problems with SG or JP, my ping times are in the magnitude of 100~160ms depending of time of day, this is from sydney on Helstra connection…
The connection is fine, so long as the Perth to SG cable doesnt break, which has been happening alot lately… thats when everyone gets routed via usa > jp > hk > sg then the lagg becomes like 200 + ms…
Still would prefer SG over AU server, more countries in SEA area = more healthy server in the long run…
People need to stop comparing this game to Ragnarok. IT WAS OVER 10 YEARS AGO! ToS is a good game on its own merits. The population has increased and also we live in a golden age of technology, it’s not 2002 anymore, dial-up is a thing of the past. Australia is NOT some backwards little country, let alone all the other countries that’d benefit for a localised server.
