Right now we are targeting March 1st, but that could change as our number one priority is making sure that customers have a great service to play on.

For those of you who may have already imported the game, we will be investigating solutions to allow you to continue to play on a local server once they come online in March.
So where does Mexico stand in this?

Given I already have my copy, but I know a fair number down here that were not willing to jump through hoops to get it.

Please don't listen to any whiners about this, this would have to be the greatest thing ever for any MMO player if we get actual Australian servers. People who whine can stay put with their 200ms+ pings.. sub 50ms pings would be just amazing.

Just wanted to say that this is a great thing, I'm from Australia and imported. Local servers will be awesome!

P.S. please make sure we can transfer our characters :P

Wait Stephen just to clarify, does this mean that previously named US West, East, or EU servers that have a large Australian and New Zealand population will be renamed "Oceania"?

just trying to understand


Edit2: wait i think i get what you meant.

Oceanic servers would be cool...But I'm already playing with friends from the states I made in previous games on Bondar Crystal. I'm getting 246ms playing from NZ lol (It's actually relatively normal considering) What's the latency you guys are getting and are they USEAST/WEST?

I thought I was the only Oceanic player on Bondar but I found another Kiwi.

Oh, I'm in Australia and I'm already playing XD.

Also when Bioware says "Spring" do they mean Autumn for Australia? I think they should use Autumn since that's when it's coming out for us in stores ;P.

Sounds good, I look forward to having our own official server and it will be nice maybe having a few more Australian/New Zealand players in the game.
