Australian Servers -_-

[Rubieus]

Sorry. In my honest opinion, having a FATE will not increase number of players. Only Fans would attend.

I am happy to be in Jp server now and there's no need for an Australian server

I don't mind being in a JP server, its the server relays that I want. to decrease latency. I still think others would come.

Whats your latency? I get 85ms from Perth using WTFast

Using WTfast... that is roughly $10 a month? same price of a subscription to FFXIV _-_ should be going towards getting our own relay centers

I play on NA servers, around 280 ms ping. I don't use WTFast. I'm playing perfectly ok.

They should make an "AU" Server in the JP Data centers. Proxies and VPNs like "WTFast" often hurt other players and the server who aren't using them more.

They should just have SEA servers, the latency will be decent for everyone in the region and Australia is not significant enough to have it's own data center. Also lol at the idea of a FATE event there before the likely hundreds of other locations that would attract more players.

That would do literally nothing.

Servers located in Sydney or Brisbane would serve Australia, New Zealand and the SEA area well.

That would literally have everyone speaking English and set to the right timezone.

As I said, not even Europe has its own servers in a reasonable location, don't get your hopes up for Australia.

supply and demand.

they will supply a local server as soon as the demand meets their needs. obviously there are not enough customers there to meet the demand. (i dont get why EU doesnt have their own tbh)
why spend millions of dollars to create and maintain an additional server if the number of players that would be using it does not meet their standards of being lucrative.

also, it seems as if they are still a little gun shy due to 1.0. i would imagine 3.0 may change their approach to these sort of things if all goes well.
or hell, maybe upgrade the ones they already have...
