Asian Servers are needed.

[Markness]

No, "Asia Pacific" is not Asia, having servers in Sydney, AUSTRALIA (a completely different continent and calling it "Asia") is really stupid. Add servers to the most populated region in the world already. No one can play this game with 200+ ping.

I refunded the game already but have my steam balance ready for whenever (if ever) they decide to add servers to the Asian region.

Edit: Buyers remorse. Friends forced me to buy it and we put up with the queues, after finally login into US West I can play with 200+ ping, it makes it unplayable as a caster, and janky as melee. PVP is impossible because everyone is where they shouldn't be.

Edit Two: Game is released and still no asian servers, if you're reading this and are curious whether to buy it or not then I highly recommend not to buy it until they release asian servers, this game is unplayable with over 200 ping.

It's good to know there is a sever here in Aus. If the game becomes popular in asian countries, they will add servers. Also, I played WoW and plenty of other MMOs without having Australian servers. 250-350ms. Having 180ms is pretty good. I would have loved to have that years ago when I was playing MMOs.

[Markness]

180ms is okay for a fine-tuned game but in this MMO it feels like even with decent ping that things are kind of janky unless you have good ping. Try using the fire staff and see how it is with a fairly high ping, its janky.

I am living in Japan, played the closed beta until I experienced my first siege battle and I realized it was unplayable in the Australian based server, I inmediately refunded the game. I don't know who the hell thought it was a good idea to make asian population play in an Australian server, you would not make north americans play in Argentine, nor you would make europeans play in south africa. I have been keeping an eye on news hoping they would release asian servers for launch but it seems they have something against the continent (which by the way is the most populated in the world). I think is fine they have servers for Aussies, they also have the right to play the game, but just put 2 or 3 servers to match the country population and player base, which as of today is barely 26 million, in Japan there are 126 million people with a similar wealth to Australia, not even counting South Korea...so why that is being ignored...well I don't know.
If their market strategy is all based on steam whislist, which is a feature many players don't care about or is easily forgotten, well, it does not make sense at all. I guess they did not put the NA or EU servers based on whishlist, they did based on region demographics and potential player base, well, whoever made the study deleted the data from Asia by mistake.
As much as I would have loved to play this game, Amazon has made it a no go for me, and for many other players in Asia.
Peace to all

Second this. I put this game into the wishlist even though I have the same misgivings (why do you need people to wishlist this anyway to gauge interest levels), but will hold off my purchase until I heard more news about the server locations. Since there's no sign that they are going to license the IP to another publisher to manage the Asia/SEA region, I have no idea why there wouldn't be any Asia/SEA servers from a revenue perspective.

It's quite telling when this thread which started from 1st August has zero developer reply and had to rely on a copy-pasted reply above.

That said, AGS should look into the number of refunded customers from SEA and factor that into their consideration as well. I am pretty sure a good number of them refunded due to the ping (action combat mmorpg with bad ping = dead in pvp). I am not sure why they have to rely on wishlist to gauge the interest level when there has already been so many threads, tweets and posts about it.

I have a feeling AGS is against a SEA server at this moment as they are worried what it would do to the population of the current Aussie server (which I feel would do well on its own, even without the asian crowd, but I don't have the same access to data they do).

Hopefully, they will add in a SEA server before launch, or at least allow for server transfer when they eventually do (if there are still SEA players playing then).

In the next wave of new markets, we’re about to launch a new region in Spain. We’re about to launch a new region in the Asia Pacific, in Jakarta, Indonesia. This is a great beginning. We’re excited to help New World scale and launch globally when they’re ready. We’re excited to use this as a proof case for any other game developer in the world to do the same thing.

I agree with adding SEA servers but ASIA servers are going to be filled with Chinese. I'd rather play on AU server with 190 ping.

[MYR_弱鬼の微笑]

Just purchase, but we need Asian server +1

No offense to the Chinese, but you're implying that there are no Chinese players in Aussie servers...

Some of them might still play in Aussie regardless, because I am sure they will still have similar ping to Indonesia anyway...

[Bigz]

We need sea servers. A massive region will not have a decent server for playing. Will people really play if the game experience is bad? And if they do play, I think it will hamper the pvp experience because these people will not flag for pvp because they will be at a disadvantage due to bad ping. I am playing from Thailand and if I have to play on AP server with 200+ ping then I won't be playing, if I play at all.
