As a Corporate Systems Admin of 15 years and an Oceanic player myself… I’m genuinely confident there will either be Oceanic realms for Classic or at the least; the available realms will have acceptable local ping times. (50ms and under)
In today’s Information Technology world - call it an educated guess.
I do not believe Oceanic players will have slow connections to WoW Classic.
I heard a rumour that Activision is currently looking for permanent site acquisitions in the Asian Telco markets.
A mega-network with fibre backhaul capacity and huge cloud base servers. The days of a Blizzard HQ in America seem numbered now…
With Asia having 4.4 billion customers and soaking up 60% of all world trade. It seems logical that Activision is looking for business partners to build growth across all its gaming platforms in that region.
Thanks Necrosis, most of us here are pretty confident too, but a post allaying those tiny voices of dissent in the back of our minds would be great.
It is a super important point for us, as playing with low ping is not something I would wish upon anyone, it truly does detract from the enjoyment of the game.
Ahahahahaah we gots ourselves a funnyman here.
Pls return to your crying about groupXP snowflake bonuses and Leave these big topics to the big boys to discuss eh?
#nochanges
oceanic servers reduce latency, which removes the handicap on oceanic players,
which will create unfair equality for oceanic players, causing imbalance to the game and ruining the classic experience.
