Considering how many posts on the main WoW MB I see about people complaining about lag in these two countries while playing WoW, I think that there are going to be more than a few people happy to know they can play a game that treats them like they aren't the third child who gets the worn hand-me-downs. |

So, that means they just won over every Aussie mmo player, right? Good to see that EAMythic responds to the needs of its players in a timely fashion. |

Its about time Aussie and Kiwi's got a little love. We moan in Europe about getting late access but it is usually worse for you guys. Good move in my opinion, there is no reason that everyone cant get in game at the same time in this day and age. All it takes is a bit of planning and foresight. |

Yes this means at least most of them will at least try out this game if it's any good at all it'll keep most of them. There have been many threads on this issue on the WoW forums over the years and most Aussies are sick of the second rate treatment in regard to the lag, I can see many leaving WoW as a result. |

This is fantastic news EA Mythic thanks again for caring about the players rather than the bottom line DEFINITION OF REALITY: Graphics ok, Sound ok, Gold drops need more work... |

Good news for the Kiwis and Aussies... And like someone promptly said, we, in Eureope, sometimes complain about being in 2nd, it's actually worst for them... |

Originally posted by will200 Not just this it will also put pressure on other new MMO's to follow suit if they want to attract oceanic players. Great move by EAMythic. And as an Aussie ... It's about time =D |

PvP without the lag, oh joy, be still my beating heart.
Let's just hope they don't do the same mistakes with the open beta as Funcom did, that, so turned me off Conan. ________________________ |

It's about time that a game gave us Aussies a break. My wife wasn't even going to give Warhammer a try, as PvP turns her off a game, due to lag concerns. However she has now decided to give Warhammer a try, purely because of this news. So I imagine there would be a lot more people out there who have overnight become Warhammer converts thanks to this decision.

This is awesome news. Alot of people don't understand how much a bad ping can effect the game itself and what experience you have playing it. It's about time someone out there stepped up to provide oceanic players with a real server, not just a chinese server with "Oceanic" written on it. bring on WAR! =D

This is great news I know that a lot of Aussies will be wrapped to hear this news.
and certainly puts AOR in a favourable light compared to other MMO's who should have followed suit ages ago but quite frankly either can't be bothered, are too shortsighted, or too cheap to realise the financial benefits rather than deficits localised servers will have on subscriptions - BLIZZARD et al are you listening!?
