It’s not completely pointless, it is a short term semi-solution which reduces the number of new players starting in Klai (which has had extreme population problems since day 1).
For SEA players the real benefits will be seen in the near future - although for now I do actually imagine you guys have a bit less lag and even competition for mob spawn than in Klai/Orsha. SEA players don’t lose anything by joining that server even though it’s not located in SEA right now, you just won’t get the majority of the benefit until later unfortunately x.x
It’s hard to please everyone.
