Great news. I'll be going where ever my guild goes. If they choose to stay, I'll stay. If they want to transfer, I'll transfer. After all, all that matters in an mmo is being able to play with people you like. Re: Singapore concerns, isn't it only Optus that has major issues with latency? (ironic because Optus is owned by SingTel, a Company in Singapore? I'm with Internode and my ping to Singapore is virtually identical to West Coast USA.

Good news for Bioware fans in Australia and New Zealand. I just hope your planning and implementation of the local servers works out. There are so many pitfalls to avoid on this one. As has already been suggested, you should really label the 2 current unofficial Oceanic servers "The Harbringer" and "The Swiftsure" as Oceanic servers now, and when you bring the locally based servers online in 3 months time, you just transfer the databases with no need for messy character transfers etc. It would save you a lot of hassle.

Good news, but I live in Asia, and I'm wondering if connecting to Australia will get me better ping or US. Right now playing in The Swiftsure I get 160-170 ms latency. I hope I don't get more than that if I connect to Aussie server Does anyone know of a way to test my connection to Australia from my location?

lol, I was psyched to play an MMO with under 400 ping for once anyway Soooooooooooooo amped for this. Way to go on spending the cash on Australian server hosting as opposed to being idiots like other developers who assume you'll stay on board regardless of progression damaging ping. So keen to end game PVE this game, just dont balls that up and we will be sweet.

All about distance.

I'd love not to have to transfer but have the whole server transferred over (if that's possible). That way I get to keep my names and not have to transfer 8 characters across.
