Aussies... we are looking at a server somewhere in your fine country if there are enough of you that want to play.


That's a nice little surprise! Aussie based servers!

Hot damn! I will have a 50ms ping because i live in the glorious New Zealand. So please make a server in Australia, i don't care too much about ping because i don't want to sound like an American that thinks they are entitled to a ping that is less than 30ms. But it would be awesome to play with people in my own timezone and such, would make it easier for my Mount and Blade clan to make an outfit as well.

Glad to hear this, as I know a few .au gamers who tend to get the shaft where servers are concerned. Hopefully they show enough interest and get a server!

[BraavikStal]

Awesome! There will be enough of us playing, don't you worry smed

50ms? That'd be brilliant ha! 100 would be nice to be honest!

I spend my work week arguing with people (here in the US) about ping times. You'd be surprised the number of people who think they should be entitled to pings faster than the speed of light. Sending them all to an island in the middle of an ocean seems like a great idea.

Thats my experience playing things like Mount and Blade or Team Fortress 2, i wouldn't care if its 100ms-150ms, thats what i was used to playing COD or BF3, but now i am at university, i have better internet and get less than 50ms most of the time playing computer games, but i wasn't allowed to bring my xbox so i don't know what my COD ping would be like, probably much better, so i will be happy if its less than 150ms.

Nice!

I know the Aussie's and Kiwi's get a rough deal most of the time,better get some recruits drummed up!

I'll believe it when Im not lagging behind by 200ms!!! New Zealand internet is shlt compared to alot of other places....., we need fibre over these ways!!!!

I don;t know why, but Hamilton has excellent internet

I get roughly 10MB/s download speed so i can most of the time download games in 15-30 minutes (10GB game)

I live in Brisbane and have no trouble connecting to USA servers, and I play on them relatively well too, been playing BF3 on East coast servers to see how it fairs in anticipation of PS2 and its not that godawful to be frank.

[noodz]

We'd only need like 1 server for Aus/NZ. Could be good if there is enough numbers playing...

True, so you're at Waikato Uni then? I was there a few years ago!
