they are not the same kind of game, time is more important in a first person shooter, player skill is involved, i have played WoW , and have been playing DDO since release, i never found lag TOO much of an issue , but they are get into range, hit the sequence of buttons, kill the enemy, this will be requiring us to AIM , and LEAD our fire, ping/lag will add to the challenge.

I was meaning more competitive raiding for WoW, and for LoL, the ping can be a *big* difference - since there are a lot of skill shots in that game that you have to lead your target with as well. And as for SC2? To micro effectively, it's *hard* sometimes on high ping. Your units don't behave as they should, and it can cost you a lot of resources sometimes. I'm not saying they're completely the same, but just stating that it's comparable.

hey Nav love your unit name i might have to go free lance and join i use ANZAC as my handle in WOT

Yeah, no worries! The Unit voted on the name, and I guess nothing says "Aussie-Kiwi-Military" better than ANZAC! Plus any Aussie or Kiwi will instantly recognise it!

Feel free to freelance or join whenever you wish. However I think the Dev's are making the game so that there will be penalties imposed in-game to dissuade people form hopping back and forth between chosen factions (was covered in the Q&A 2 I believe). So might be an idea to keep this in mind when thinking about which path you want to take.

I found the quote:
Is it possible to change status as a player from one to another. For example, Lone Wolf > Faction Player and back etc? –sadamle

[PAUL] Yes players can switch player types but it will be at a cost. A lot of the rewards associated with one player type will be lost during the transition. We don’t want players flip flopping back and forth between play types, hence there will be an amount of sacrifice you must agree to in order to switch.

Sorry, didn't mean to de-rail.... erh erm... Yes, Oceanic servers, we definitely need them!!

[Athelstane]

Well, feel free to play around guys, but we will honestly need that server. I'm sick of having to deal with lag of over 300 and I just want to be able to sit back with a good stiff drink and blast away a few idiots with my LRM's. Oh and check out our cool sigs! Thanks Nav.

[nubnub]

+1 aussie server

[Larry Headrick]

I work a swing shift so never know when i will be online

[Maris]

Lower pings are all cool and stuff but I take playable 200-300 pings vs fighting for a deserted Inner Sphere with only 100-200 plus players.

In any case, I'm looking forward what PGI has to say over regional issues. But pls pls pls, do not lock us out in the red, like what Bioware did.

[Semyon Drakon]

Another Aussie here...though I am hoping heavily for the Clans to be playable.
