Is there any chance we will get a server in Australia

[Wood-Fox]

yeah just wondering were the servers are going to be located can't see this working unless there are servers that don't giive you lag

[Landain]

Would a server in Korea or Hong Kong provide less lag?

I have no clue on how to answer this...

Maybe Wood-Fox can because he lives in Australia?

well as far as i know the 3 prime spots for servers are the us, europe, and asia... as that is where the majority of gamers live...

it realy all depends on how many servers they put out as to wether or not you get a server all the way out there....

this game is also being designed for the us market so i am guessing short of 100+ servers and an outcry from other areas the woun't cater to many more then the 3.

[Guyver]

No freaking duh!

But it's the lag part. It's not always where the server is located. Usualy it's the individual's sytem or connection.

you ever try to connect to an ausy server? you can get a decent connection but often times its just horrible, so i would halfto say he will probly be able to get a decent connection on us servers at best (after all webzen is mostly working on putting a kickass connection system to the unreal 3 engine.... i.o.w. the game was like half done when they started all they needed to do was get it working mmo style.

Ah oh well I mainly work with what's at my house I could care less about internet as long as I get to shoot people.

Tell me how this post helps Wood-Fox's question regarding a Server in Australia.
Huxley is also marketed for Korea and I'm pretty sure they are catering to China. So Hong Kong and Seoul are viable options. They should be a lot closer for him.

How come you hate me so much? I have every right to post my opinion. Why don't you stop trying to repress me with your attitude. We have plenty of time until this game comes out. We'll figure out then. But for now relax because nagging won't help!

[winged]

lol he is right, guyver, that isn't a helpfull post :P

and... well i am not sure he would want to be on an asian server... i mean for a the first fiew minuits hearing someone scream in one of the asian toungs when he shoots them but after about 5 minutes wouldn't it get old?


i once got on an asian server by accident... lots of symboles in the text chat... finaly i gave up and things broke down to "ENGLISH MOTHER *beep* DO YOU SPEAK IT?!" "}?║╕`?eT?X!!!!!" (random symboles as i don't have an asian symboles :P )

i would say that is he has a high speed conn he will probly be able to get a 56k conn at least to west cost servers.

[Wood-Fox]

Yeah thanks for the replies guys Australia normally gets the short end of the stick when it comes to MMO because we have to connect to the other side of the world more or less in games like WOW and EQ it's not a problem just this being a FPS I am mainly worrid about latency which came make a FPS very hard to play.
despite the myths there a lot of gamers in Oz so if this game did become a hit it may be viable for a server down here I just think playing a game like this with a ping of aroun 250/300 may not work but I will see what happens

[vivin]

Im kinda worried myself. For mmorpg's lag isnt really that bad, but for fps, you need less than 60 ping to keep up. If the servers are mainly based in Asia then I think we would have around the same ping as US connecting. If they have servers in US then most likly us oceania people will have a hard time keeping up :cry: .

Yeah the new first person shooters "rubber band" if you've got a 120+ ping.
Lag is problematic in Warrock (Korean servers) from Australia.
When DF:X first came out they whacked up 3 Aussie servers.. it was pimp 8)

What if the game came with an internet accelerator. If those things ever really help. It could work while the games on. It can be called "Adrenaline".
Nice name and I'm sure it's a good example for the gameplay.

I am an American in Australia... I moved here over 2 years ago and started getting involved in Clans 5 years ago. I have created an American Clan even while living here in Australia and have played Counter-Strike on USA servers since moving here. Just recently I decided to give up the USA clanning business because high pings do suck and I need to start meeting Australian Gamers. Not to mention when my wife and I are playing together.... its best when we dont have such a high ping.... although she still owns me at times. Not saying I will never play on USA servers again... but need to equally play on both servers cause time differences suck when its 7pm here and I don?t know anyone on Aussie servers... and yclan mates and the rest of the US are asleep! LOL!

My servers were hosted at The Planet in Dallas, and my pings for 56k were 350-375, with ADSL which I finally was able to get it after a year because its not available everywhere here... I get about 250+ ping.

As far as owning, I don?t care if you have a 25 ping or a 350 ping.... if your half way decent you can keep a 1:1 ratio. I was able to reach scores of 36-13 with a 350 ping playing CS. I don?t consider myself an awesome player, but have been called a hacker on many occasion because people don?t really understand lag doesnt bring your skill down. All lag does is sometimes blocks ppl from hitting me or me from hitting them..... Pretty much, if I can?t hit you, you cant hit me.... if I can kill you, you can kill me. So its pretty fair.... besides the fact that most ppl can see me before I can see them..... you just better be quick cause I have a high HS ratio and its not called aimbot!

Most ppl that hack, couldn?t find skill if it was given to them in a cracker jack box!.... They hack because they can.... and they need to compensate for something else...:P

Regardless where I have to play... I will be playing this game. They just better not have a high ping kicker :/ Stop by my community sometime, click the link below

The human reaction is not faster than 1/10th of a second. Anything faster is luck. So theres no excuse to blame ping unless its severely bad. But as the former poster said, its a blocking issue. You wont find that anyone will see you sooner and be able to react with pressing the mouse button faster than you cause of 60ms worth of ping.

[=LS= Nemesis]

I hear ya with the blocking issue... but regardless what ping I have, Im gonna play it and have a good time.

To answer your question... about ping to Korea... its about 200 ping for me on 512/128.
