Gotta say that is a really smart move. That is one thing that Blizzard never did and will probably garner a bigger customer base from that region. It sucks trying to play with a game with awful ping.

finally some recognition that we are a player base that is big enough to warrant a server.  only other one i have ever seen was Khaz'goroth on WoW and that was quite simply splitting at the seams with aussie and NZ players.  at the peak of its population the wait to get back in was close to an hour.  i think more games (those that will have a big aussie/NZ following) like AoC and WAR (and LOTRO) should give us at least 1 server.

Congratulations Aussies and New Zealanders on your server, you've been ignored for far too long.

STOP WHINING!

Wow, that is awesome.  I can't say that about other MMOs that have did this pre-release!

Pirates of the Burning Sea is the only other MMO I know of that had a server in Australia around the time it was released.

The is a UO server as well but that was put up well after UO's release.

Gamer fanboi. All games are good and/or great, in their own way! Stop da hate and go forth and play!

Glad to see they are supporting the Aussies by making a regional server available too them, but I will miss them on the US servers since they are usually a great bunch of people to play with late at night!

Cheers!
