PlanetSide 2 and Australians?

creaturemagic · 2011-07-20, 06:15 AM

So with there only being one big server where everyone plays. How will us Australians cope? Lag in an FPS is crippling and I really want to play PS2 but I'm Aussie and I don't want to get excited about PS2 if it doesn't have Australian support. Thanks!

My suggestion is: Lube up, shafting incoming, ill be taking it with you.

Perhaps another shrimp on the barbie?

Jump off your island, line up on one side, and push it closer.

But seriously, while I bet US/europe could be combined, I doubt aus/nz could join in the party. You'd have to team up with the chinese.

I'm used to the lag, never really hindered my play in PS1. International servers, prepare for my ping.

There will only be one server?

No way..

I thought Australians weren't allowed to play video games anymore.

Smed did say there will be multiple servers at launch. But as they add more territory via planets one server is a possibility.

Just have everyone push Australia closer. I'm sure it can be done.

Actually, all Australia really needs is a better telco company that puts a bigger cable through the ocean to Europe / US...

good luck with that... why don't you aussies move to the US... kangaroo's suck anyways, plus you got like 7 of the most deadliest snakes, if you ask me, it's unnecessary risk.

Guys seriously? The guy asks a question and all you guys have to respond with are a bunch of stereotypes about Australia?

creaturemagic we don't really know what the global plans are for PS2. I would hope that it will be successful enough to have servers around the world. If not, hopefully the netcode is better and can handle lag a bit better as well.
