The state of OCE without cross region travel (feedback)

[LaylaTsarra]

Mate, you need to be in Australia to understand Tigerlilley's point.

I won't dispute your experience and yes I do not live in New Zealand or Australia but I play on Sophia and my game play seems fine and the distance for me at least from the East Coast is 14,049 km Distance from Washington DC to New Zealand. Japan is considerably closer at 10,894 km Distance from Washington to Tokyo and the game has always played fine for me there as well.

This is the rub, though. The reason we don't have cross region is because of Japan not wanting us there. It was stated as a difference in "values". Which, fine. Everyone speaks english, NA would be fine. However, the Aus/NZ communities that have spent the last 9 years on the Japan DC will still have a lot of friends there from SEA who didn't move over so I don't expect them to write off the JPN datacentre as easily as I am.

Well it does make you wonder about the motivations for delaying DC travel everywhere and you may be right about Japan not wanting others there I don't really know. I play in Japan although granted not as much as I used to since I've gone to other servers I enjoy more but the Japan community has always seemed nice to me.
