Official launch in Australia/New Zealand

Consider getting the game to work in the US and EU before releasing it to new regions!

Thanks,
Your Community

Should have just launched the game here alongside the US and EU, given us a couple servers tagged "Oceanic" and then when you got around to implementing actual Oceanic servers just offered free transfers.

How dare you make sence on these forums!

so.... free transfers for all existing "Australian and New Zealand" customers?

Stephen & Bioware,

Thanks so much for the update. It is great to see some focus on this and finally something in Concrete for us Australians.

Can you please confirm if this means you will have local server base for Oceania players as this would be a HUGE boost to the local community?

If its simply going to be a US or EU server based on local time, our pings will remain around 500ms (instead of under 100ms) and with many of us already playing on OS servers it would provide no real benefits to move back to a local server especially considering we have guilds and characters already in use else where. (EDIT - Sorry scratch that question ... see its been answered .... this is super awesome uber news!!!)

Please, please, please have an option to transfer our guilds and characters ... I hope you are not getting our hopes up for nothing I see there is mention of US transfers but myself and friends play on EU server so will the transfer apply to any current US or EU server??

Also would this still mean downtimes in line with US/EU servers or will this be changed to suit our local timezone.

Would be great to get an official update as we are only 20 or so days out from advised release date.

Keep up the good work and thanks for listening to the community (all negativity aside).

Thanks!

check page 5, a reply from Reid confirms locally placed servers.

Anyway, the "targeted" release date is steadily creeping closer, any info on if the target will be met, if we will get a fresh batch of CE's released locally, if there will be free server transfers?

He said they are planning at that time. So any new developments? Did they locked down or already made a deal with a local provider wherever or whatever that area mean?

A reply would be nice since we are so close to your Target Window release

Can't see this getting a March 1st release date this late in February. It could also have something to with Mass Effect 3 being released locally on the 8th March. It wouldn't be smart marketing to release 'similiar' style games so close to each other - robbing Peter to pay Paul etc.

I just think for them to hype the game up for an Aussie release they need more than 2.5 weeks to do it in.

If you're not in already, you're not missing much. By the time this dud makes it to Australia, it might actually be worth the money, but more than likely it will still be beta.
