Curse

WANTOBUY · Oct 09, 2006, 06:38 AM // 06:38

I'm a Aussie and I have realised how many Aussie's play this game. I would like to have a Aussie server so I could play with people in my own time zone for example: I play in Europe server and Europe only have favor when I'm asleep, if there was an Aussie server I could play FoW and UW while im AWAKE.

I would like to hear peoples thoughts and comments

I'm Australian and I think there shouldn't. If there was an Australian server you would never be able to play FoW/UW because there Australian population is to small. They would rarely dominate PUGs to the point that it would be an Australian group and there are no Australian guilds around that can reliably hold HoH out to five wins.

Yes, but many Aussie's contribute to HA teams and often win HA for either Europe or America

Wanttobuy,

I'm one of the most outspoken players about Australian issues and treatment within GW.
But sadly I don't think we should have our own server. There isn't enough of us to keep all areas of the server active. Favour would be a problem, but we have more then enough guilds taking that for US rock it TTA and LAW.

What I suggest is you jump from the Euro Servers to the North American one.
The time and favour is better on the NA side.
Plus there are soo many Aussies kicking round on that server.

Hell if you need a guild I'm an officer of GW's oldest Australian guild, and would love to invite you.

It would be great to have our own server, but we all know there wouldn't be enough people. By the way, Australia is only one country and a low populated one at that - if there was a server for us it would include all of Oceania.

I don't like how the Guild window in game says "Home: America/Europe/Korea/Japan/etc", it should be possible to specify that your guild's home is in fact different from the server/s it resides.

This was just an example but... I know about 400 Aussies and thats just 5 guilds!! there is at least 100 Aussie guilds, this is more than a few thousands Aussie's will be playing each day..

Yeah and everyday in each and every out post, or atleast half of them at one time to fill the required 8 man teams!

Seriously think about it, we aint got the man power. And if its a Oceania server, IMO it would be just as bad as Euro. I left cause I like knowing what people are saying.... English FTW (But hey its the only lingual style I speak)

My guild has been in two alliances that are Aussie/Nz specific. And the numbers were still bad, There all right now in the new one.

Also Anet has spoken out saying it Aint going to happen.

I suppose there wouldn't be enough for their own server.

I tend to play during somewhat odd hours in the European server and I often see those lonely Australians in outposts. It's kinda sad to see them scattered between American and European servers. Now if there would be someway to put them all in either Am or Eu server...

I am one of them. Regardless, you need the majority in the team for it to be of your area. Australian groups would be extremely rare and even rarer would it be for them to take/hold halls five times in a row.

You can petition for it if you want, even if A-Net grants it I'm staying in the ID's and quite frankly couldn't care less about getting favour for Australia.

Knightsaber Sith · Oct 09, 2006, 02:30 PM // 14:30

There's already been atleast one thread about this.

Keep your eyes peeled, we're trying! lol

WANTOBUY · Oct 10, 2006, 06:12 AM // 06:12

lol guys HA, UW and FoW were just examples theres heaps of other stuff I could do with Aussies during the day....

And all of the people who arn't Australian, when you guys are asleep and we are awake there are quite a few people playing....

Terra Xin · Oct 10, 2006, 07:04 AM // 07:04

Apart from the fact that this has already been beaten to death in the Riverside, how on earth are you thinking of getting to FoW UW when we will almost NEVER get favour???

No... Just no.

yeah, we make up like 5% of the GW population... saying 100,000 in comparison is stretching it a bit.

With 3 chapters and limited players.
Its just not reasonable.

Stick to Aussie Guilds, And I suggest all Australians move to the North American server!

Thallandor · Oct 10, 2006, 08:51 AM // 08:51

As mentioned by other forum posters that are actually from Australia itself, one has just to ask how many of the 2 million players GW players are from Australia to answer the OP's question.

Theres already enough retail porblems for the game itself from retailers like EB games in Australia, cant imagine if gamming as a whole will gain wide acceptance from their masses least speaking of having enough players to justify for a server. Sadly Numbers not the overall skill of the players in your region determines this.

If an australian server was created, very few people would change. Instead i suggest upon winning halls, it would say "Ex Talionis [Law] (<-my guild) has won a battle in the hall of heroes! Australia has taken the favour away from Korea for America! ... lol

Yeah us aussie save there ass again :P

ANZ is still looking for you guys on the way to Halls

Kool Pajamas · Oct 10, 2006, 06:15 PM // 18:15

Maybe they should just rename the servers to something that doesnt use a country/continent name. Might stop people from yelling USA when America takes favor because it wouldnt be called the american server. lol. Or any of this other country bashing that happens.
