SMITE players in the Oceanic region of the world will now have a smoother game play experience now that the server has been turned on in Australia. Australian and New Zealand players with existing accounts should find their characters waiting, all unlocks and experience included.
By offering game servers hosted in Australia, players in Australia and New Zealand will enjoy a smoother gameplay experience when choosing the Australia region for matchmaking or custom matches. Existing SMITE players in the region preserve all god unlocks, experience, and cosmetics they have already accumulated. And players from Australia and New Zealand can still optionally choose to play with friends on American and European servers as they wish.
“As SMITE grows, we continue to expand servers into key regions so that we can provide the best service and performance for our international players” said Todd Harris, Chief Operating Officer of Hi-Rez Studios. “The Australian community has always been very vocal and supportive, and we are excited to improve the game experience for the community in this region.”
The SMITE team is on hand in Australia and will be present at PAX-Australia later this month.
