I thoroughly enjoyed the SOD US server, having migrated from Shadowstrike after the realm died.
Back in 19 Classic, Arugal had good population because there was only 1 version of classic. Now the entire OCE classic player base is split 3 ways.
There will not be enough OCE players to sustain a separate server with 3 versions of classic running. I will not be wasting my time and rolling on an OCE server.
See you all on the US server soon.
That’s why having OCE is so important. Because Blizz can have PVP on UWE if they wish and it doesn’t need to impact ANZ players who don’t jump to NA servers. Stick to local, have the good ping.
I wouldn’t bet on this actually. While that certainly could come to pass, my guess is that the new Fresh Vanilla to TBC Realm will be the most popular of the modes and likely remain healthy.
You know if every person already proclaiming it a dead server before arrival and rolling on NA realms would give it a crack that would likely guarantee success, at least on the population front.
where are the NA ones hosted though
if they are u.s east chances are most aussies are gonna be at 200ms and this is just plain sucks. u.s west is doable at 150ms but im not sure where they are hosted
There is still some common sense around here, thank you. I’ll also be rolling US. We’re just too split with all the different versions so it’s going to fracture it even worse.
you good with 200 ping? imo it sucks, if its 150ish like in SoD and some other classic realms thats definitely playable
US Servers: PvE is hosted US West, PvP and HC are hosted US East.
OCE Server: PvP
Yes US PvE is West which is fine. I won’t be rolling US PvP which is East.
ah damn it…
I can’t even stand 170ms Ping, which is what I get to US West. Which is why I will play on OCE PvP at 20ms instead of USW PvE (Which would otherwise be my pref) at 170ms.
170ms isn’t TOO bad, it’s definitely playable. Considering most OCE people had ~300ms back in the day. But yeah the jump to OCE servers is definitely noticeable
The issue is that any additional latency permeates every action. I can feel it, in everything from casting to looting. Even the mob health bars in my frames addon take that extra moment to register the change. I find it frustrating compared to the virtually instant fluidity of a sub <30ms connection.
If I were to add 150ms delay to your senses IRL, you’d be a very unhappy camper. Whilst that doesn’t bother some people in-game (and power to them if they’re happy), there are people like me that get hugely put off by it.
I’m still rolling on the US mega server as I prefer to bigger population after the initial months.
Though I wish the Hardcore server was also on the West Coast for latency
Do you guys believe it will be possible to transfer between the US PvP realm and the OCE PvP realm?
Yozombie making a comback?
No, i believe in time the reverse will be opened for free
The OCE realm is showing as PVE not PVP, can this please be fixed
Maladath showing as PVE not PVP, why oh why.
its fixed now
