I love WC3 but unfortunately I live in Australia, and I can’t play without 250 ms ping minimum. Is it going to be easier for me to play once Reforged hits?

No idea, Blizzard does have some server located in Australia, they may use some of them to support WC3F

I’ve asked Grubby multiple times on Twitter and his youtube videos to bring this up as a question for the devs during a Q&A. I also submitted it for the mmo-champion Q&A. So far nothing. I’m hoping today maybe he asks since he’s doing another one. It’s honestly kind of tilting to see questions like “when are we getting another campaign” or “when are we getting another race” asked over whether thousands of people will actually have a playable server to play on.
I also wrote two threads.

this is complete insanity. The online experience for us in au/nz is rubbish.

bump for the devs to look into this please, we need a server for Australia, we are playing with 250+ms 
There are WoW/Overwatch servers where we get 25ms ping so this is achievable for Warcraft3 as well for Australian players.

bump, hope this happens
my ping is terrible on reforged, close to 400ms… i used wtfast with the old client and could get down to around 240, hoping when i switch from cable to nbn ill get under 200 again. Still would be lovely to have pings under 100. Best bet might be to join the Aussie WC3 channel on discord, you could try setting up LAN games with pings under 100 that way.
