Kiwi here. Used to play MW4 in NBT for The Minnesota Tribe, under the monniker Booster. Very much enjoyed the games there, really looking forward to getting stuck into Mechwarrior Online. Strongly suspect this game will be the equivalent of high class grade-A crack to me.

Yeah, I was worried about this too.
Also, Xenois, we are all Mercs or Lone Wolves because we are Australians and no one tells us what to do!
We play in Merc companies with our mates or go Lone Wolf and we kick arse under our own flag!

But yeah, we really need pacific servers...

Although, are we going to have the ability to host our own servers? (do forgive me if that's a stupid question)

I agree there does need to be pacific/asia servers (there needs to be servers world wide actually), i mentioned in the oceanic-based-severs thread (post 86) that we may not actually get a choice on what servers we play on though (you can read it in further detail ther there, this is my opinon based on my understanding so far, feel free to correct me if i am wrong)...

As for the ability to rent/host your own servers, this might be a way around for pgi to spend money on hosting, but would you as the individual want to rent or host a server that you have no guarantee to play on due to the nature of the game style, i think the hosting will be left to major gaming communites and ISPs in the end... but hey, like i said, i might be wrong...

Clans or not, good to see another.

Another aussie checking in! I want AU server!

[Dakkss]

Melbournian Aussie, ready to crush clanner scum - that is, as long as there's an Australian server up and about!

NSW player here, MW4 was my younger years. Looking foward to MWO

[Jun Watarase]

I will be playing on an australian server if there is one.

But as i said in the other thread, the chances of an oceania/SE asian server for Australians is almost nil. WOW has a huge userbase in those two regions and blizzard won't do it. The same thing has happened with almost every MMO in history...no oceania/SE asian servers.

Warhammer online was an exception, but that game bombed heavily and closed all the australian servers within 2 years.

Good to see more.

[Hekler]

South Australian checking in.

[Yvraith]

Tasmanian here.
Even if they only give us one or two servers like SWtoR, I'll be happy.

If not, I'll still play on the next closest one.

[LJim]

As i said earlier, we may not have a say in playing on an australian server, even if there is one (or a hundred).

My thinking is, if we are playing for worlds, then if a bunch of americans hold a world you want, you will have to play them for it and the server will be where ever the game puts it within a network of servers.. <- this is how i understand the game will be played from all the Q&A's

I would like to know if this is how others have read it or amidoingitwrong?

OY! OY! OY!

The All Black still kick your butt...


On topic, an Oceania server would be nice, but you are most likely going to have to play on a NA or EU server.
