Not having Oceanic servers in 2023 is unacceptable

[Goonbag]

I would never play a diminished experience with a disadvantaged ping, not unless the game was heavily discounted to compensate for the deprecated experience.

I was considering having a crack at this game, until I realised there's no Oceanic server, nor is there going to be one.

Amazon is massive company, they can afford it. Remember people, don't let addiction get in the way of accepting anti-consumer practices. Unfortunately trends in the game market enable anti-consumer practices, as they capitalise off your propensity to addiction.

wasn't there a thread where they responded to and said they don't have any plans for it? i remember it had thousands of comments too, if they wanted they would've made it possible already but as you can see, they absolutely don't care.

Path of Exile has Australian servers, and their player base is a fraction of Lost Ark's.

They don't care, definitely.

pretty much why I quit, a 200ms ping is bad enough but when it randomly spikes to over 10,000 at random intervals its beyond a joke, I have a fibre connection and no issues with other games at all including those notorious for connectivity issues.

I likely would have spent $1000's in the game store too if it was worth staying but sadly its not.

what you saying is true, but in this business they wont risk it. i mean look at it now? players slowly away from this game. even better look at server stat of new world, and see oceanic server. if they want to, ofc they can. but they doesnt wanna take the risk.

Bro first of POE had 100k+ peak players at the start of Crucible league, since this league sucks + D4 people dropped it until next league and GGG is a NZ based company so make sense to have servers in their home country so at least they can play the game with low ping lol.
Also LA don't need OCE servers as you can see what end up happening to SA and EU central servers, OCE literally have no player base for LA anymore.

Well first, its free; Second, OCE population is less than the state of California for comparison so you'd likely be playing in a ghost town anyway.

If they offered a free region transfer I sure would, OCE servers should have been there from day 1, we pay the same so should have the same service otherwise the game should never have been offered here

Yeah Yeah, I want local Aussie servers for me to play on so I don't just have to accept higher pings in so many games.

Sirus is right though. I think we don't realise how few people we have in Aus sometimes. We live on a huge island but we don't really have many people here.

Sometimes its a Blessing though, I cant imagine living within pi$$ing distance of other people I'd hate it, that and traffic where I live isnt too bad, my work is almost 100km away yet I can drive there in around 50 min to an hour.

downside is due to our low pop our cost of living is horrendous which pushes our wages up which in turn makes our country non-viable for many industries to thrive
