Question regarding servers

[Saccharin]

I saw that Oceanic is getting a server
thx for you time reading, have a nice day

I'd wait and see where the put the Oceanic server... will it be Japan?

Only English, French, German and Japanese.

It's odd they dont publish in Spanish considering how many people speak it!

Australia most likely.

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Australia most likely.

Considering thats where they put the graphic for it, yeah, I'd imagine so.

[AngelCheese77]

Australia most likely.

It is in the works, another few months as the pandemic doesn’t allow Japan’s/SE engineers to travel to Australia where they are putting the datacenter

It's also gotta consider now just how many people speak a language, but how popular gaming is in countries that speak that language and how popular this style of game is in those countries. Based off what numbers I can find, video gaming in parts of the Americas that aren't the US or Canada are primarily centered in Mexico and Brazil. That's not to say there aren't gamers in the other countries, but that in the other countries there just isn't the same size of a market as in other countries. Mexico wouldn't likely benefit from a South American data center as they'd be closer to the centered located in the United States (though having Spanish language support would be good) leaving basically a data center for just Brazil.

If there are enough players in Brazil to support one, I'd absolutely petition Square the same way Australia did to try to get a data center located closer to you, and try as well to get Portugese language support.

Numbers I'm going off of:

You guys are missing the point. i really dont care if the game is written ancient greek, i care about ping, ms, response time, i want to enjoy the game at its fullest, so if a server in SA or Brazil is inviable a server in NA East would help immensely

We will hope that one day SE can do it for South America too, stay hopeful like us Oceania players in the meantime.

The more paying subscribers, the greater the chance, so make sure you keep inviting all your friends to take up the game and start a subscription.

Then you're asking for the impossible.

[Weaselbr]

Then you're asking for the impossible.

please explain your logic behind that

Then you're asking for the impossible.

Not sure why you are negative. It costs nothing to say "good luck" and it's not like a new server farm in say Florida wouldn't benefit the USA too.

Numbers of paying customers talk. If they can gather many thousands of paying customers in Brazil like we do in Australia, they can also hope for a datacentre.
