Australians, do we play in EU or US?

[Brynnza]

Most big games like defiance have oceanic servers for Australia and nearby countries, because everybody knows we get terrible connections out to standard EU AND US server areas..

Seeing a lack of Oceanic options I assume - as one of the countries with the largest gaming community in the world - and I re-iterate 'ONE OF' (somebody had a problem reading that part and felt it necessary to stray off topic), we are going to have a REALLY - **** time - dealing with pings upwards of 400-800.

SO - I guess its just a question of the lesser of two evils, should we be playing in the US or EU with this game, I didn't get a chance to play the BETA so I have no idea what the ping's are like.

Any Aussies around that know, or just someone who has a fair idea?

I would suggest playing on the US servers, but that's just cos I'm trying to steal as many people as I can from the folks across the pond....WE WILL HAVE MORE! /challenge

Haha well we don't seem to fall into either perfectly so if I get enough of a US response, that will be where ill be directing myself and my mates ;D

So how many times does that mean I need to post that you should play on the US server?

US,

Unless you live in Perth..

If you care about having less lag then US is the way to go.

Play in the US, because Aussies are cool and we need more of them. This will contribute to late night gaming for us.

Very few games launch with Oceanic servers, sadly.
They usually take a long time before they even consider offering oceanic servers, thankfully PS2 offered a single Oceanic server on launch.

Anyway your best bet is US, the servers are a lot closer, and if you are given the choice go for US East I think it is as they are even closer again, or was it west, waaaaa I cannot remember

Anyway I play several other MMO's where I have to use US servers and I get a ping of 160-250ms so it should hopefully be the same, 250 is about my threshold any higher and it becomes horrible.
