It doesn't even cut the mustard for those on the east coast, I feel for those spread over the rest of Australia.

He is a troll, pure and simple.
You took the time to look at my post history..

I don't know whether that's funny or sad or both perhaps

There's a lot of people (especially Eric Musco AND certain AU players who say we need to stop crying and get over is because NA servers are fine) who need to get our an atlas and have a look at just how far away all the people like myself are over here in the north-west of WA.

Battleping, Pingzapper, none of them can save people like us. They "stabilise" me at 350-500ms+ out of combat under no load.

Don't worry it did not take long.

I really can't see any good reason not to allow us to choose a west or east coast server.

I'm glad there has been a reply on this matter but as seems so often the case, it's fallen short of what was actually being asked.
I agree with this. If I'm to be forced off Gav I would prefer an open choice of servers I can go to, rather than be forced onto a west coast server. As an example I'd prefer to move to The Ebon Hawk rather than Begeren Colony.

If my ping is going to be bad regardless, I'd at least like the opportunity to choose where that is

First, one of the things we have seen multiple people suggest is that if we are going to merge the APAC servers into the NA West servers that we should give you the option to choose which NA West server you transfer to. Knowing that some APAC players have existing characters and Legacies on some NA West servers already, we agree. When we open free transfers we will allow you one time transfer from your current APAC server to any one of the NA West servers. Note: The actual server merges themselves will still happen based on server type, so once we open transfers make sure you move all of your characters to the server you want before the merge happens.

We have also seen some concerns that we “haven’t considered what NA West’s populations are at offpeak times.” Actually, this is part of the reason we are making the decision to move APAC into NA West. Currently the equivalent NA West servers are seeing higher populations at offpeak times than their APAC counterparts. Meaning that even during offpeak NA times, the APAC players should see an increase in population after the transfers/merges.

YES! Thank you!
I really wanted to move my MDN characters to Harbringer, not forced to Bastion just because its a PVP server.

Great call BIOWARE. Thanks.

I just want the refund for the now less than advertised service that Bioware are going to be providing.

Give me the refund I am entitled to Eric, you lying sack of bantha dung.
Stop. With the hate. Against Eric.

Again, he has been given this terribly job of giving us news we don't want to hear.

Not his fault. Calm down and be civil.

(Some of us still love you, Eric).
Where's my taunt?
