    Australasian servers next? :')

    Well, before the EU servers moved, I had around 200ping, now I have 300 :')
    I'll have to leave my friends of 2 years just to get that crappy 200ping back, so I am wondering.....

    Will there ever be a server in the future for New Zealanders (me) and Australians? It's a tad hard for us to compete with everyone else as it is, especially in pvp :P

    Just imagine the people who had good ping that were from different places.

    Bet they are about to have fun with the ping lag also and probably leave to another server as well.

    What is your ping to the JP data center? There are English speaking communities on some servers there.

    Slightly worse than the NA servers, since NZ has there internetz sent to America first, through that undergound cable under the pacific

    I think its extremely unlikely that we will get oceanic servers. Generally the AUS NZ population of players is simply too small to really make it viable.

    After playing ARR on a JP server (Ridill) for several years and then moving to Balmung at the end of last year, I've seen little noticible difference lag wise. I still get lag spikes and the like no different to when I was on Ridill.

    Really, SE adding Australian servers is about as likely as SE scrapping the entire FFVII Compilation.

    Technically speaking, there are Oceanic (or very very close to Oceania) servers already. Just not Australia-specific. From what another poster said, it's really the routing that's killing the ping to them...

    I don't want to be the kind of person who gets his server and denies servers for others, I would support you as a FFXIV fellow but I don't see it happening simply because the investment would be much higher than what would get back to SE in my humble opinion.

    It's sad though, there was a lot of hype for FF14:ARR when it started out (the stores were sold out for 2 weeks, even with pre-orders), but more and more people have been quitting because of the ping issues. I guess at this point they have lost so many due to ping issues it won't be worth setting up a server near here :/ I know I for a few months for a while when titan hm felt like a wall of ping before the first latency fix. Turn 5 was also a nightmare. Being told to uninstall my game and delete my character 2-3 times a day when I couldn't dodge landslides or divebombs was a real turn-off.

    Have you tried using a service like BattlePing for a VPN to Europe? Might help a lot.
