It’s bizarre that there are comments about this. The initial setup of servers in Sydney was complex for multiple reasons. Now they have servers here, it is really easy to get additional space. At the very least they’ll close a retail server and turn it into a classic server.
I’ve heard people saying 3 Oce servers: PvP, PvE and RP. TBH looking at BFA numbers for Oce we need at least 5 times those numbers. Need to keep in mind earlier on we will have tourist traffic so probably better to have a bit less than too many.
That I didn’t know just because I simply never paid any attention. That’s unfortunate because there’s probably a decent RP player base in OCE (the Oce classic discord has a few) that would justify at least 1 server.
