Australian Servers

[Krystal_Storm]

The whole of the EU doesn't have its own data center yet.

I don't think EU is really going to miss out all that much. Look at the sheer size of Australia and its isolation to the rest of the world. Do you know what is considered an except able download speed in Australia? Around 6 -12 mbps and the except able upload speed is 1-2 mbps no joke. Now factor in ping to an American server for example and you are effectively communicating at 2 mbps i am not kidding. Americans pull 80 mbps download speed for god sake and i not sure about EU but it is bound to be way better then us. How does Australia not deserve every damn bit of help it can get?

The only way Australians will begin to pull descent speed is if the National broadband network succeeds and that is 3 years off not to mention the constant political bs on how it is implemented. Average download speeds stand to rise to 20mbps -85 mbps if you are financial enough to get it a good speed plan but not for another 3 years. One stinking server is really not too much to ask. This would also cater for PnG and New Zealand aswell does it really seem like that much of a far fetched request?

Krystal, please never ever explain networking again. lol. Full duplex communications don't work in the way you think they work..... throughput(measured by *bits/*bytes per second) is not affected by latency, which is a measurement of Response expressed in microseconds and determined by cable distance from start point to end point. The game uses 30-40KB/s of downstream bandwidth at best, which is less then a 512kbit connection would provide.
