Classic Oceanic Servers

will be same even with oce servers if we end up in the same battlegroup as NA. No one seems to be talking about this, simply having oce servs =/= oce ping in instanced pvp which is arguably where it matters most.

1 PvP, 1 PvE, 1 RP thats enough

Classic oceanic community is not too big. There are 2-3 Oceanic guilds in private servers. Some of BFA Oceanic servers are totally empty.
Better have 1 server of 4000 players than 2 servers of 2000 players right?

Or just 1 PVP and 1 PVE, I don’t recall we’ve ever had an RP server?

You got me - I’ve only done this twice. BUT if I am going to “barbie” anything shrimp-like, its Kingprawns on the Bbq

Hey there mate. I am also in Malaysia. Are you aware of any guilds/discords of SEA players that’s forming up for classic?

We’re starting with a “lean” amount of servers. By the BFA numbers, if there are 30 servers that justifies 1 OCE server.

So you agree with 1 PvP, 1 PvE and potentially 1 RP?

I think it should happen. Not that the BFA numbers justify it.

Nobody has a clue how big the Oceanic Classic community will be. Private servers are not somewhere to look for a representation of what will happen come Classic release.

I won’t play on a private server but I, and three of my friends, will be there on day one, with another two looking to wait a month or so to see how it goes. That’s five people excited for, and looking forward to playing Classic that haven’t ever touched a private server.

I think the Oceanic community will be quite healthy and will require a number of servers.

Very few private servers had a usable ping for Oceanic. 400-500ms? Permalag.

Hopefully our estimates of “lean” are actually higher. Like 89 servers at launch in 2004.

As far as I am aware there is literally only 1 oceanic pserver and it is on tbc right now.

Classic wow has to have oceanic servers, the experience is chalk and cheese being 30ms vs 300ms.

Who knows, I am on a few disc servers, everyone I knew from classic has families and responsibilities they are not coming back.

We haven’t but people have been asking for one on live for years now.

In vanilla we had no servers at all.

Not True, you had Khaz’goroth and Frostmourne - November 8, 2005.

I knew there’d be someone. They were oce by name only. Still had terrible ping. But 10 points mate.

I quit serious playing before Oceanic had pings with 2 digits.

Hopefully the oce servers are put in one battlegroup where pvp only queues us with other oce realms

Mmm idk i dont think we have the numbers to be completely cut off…
imo, and i could be wrong but i think the matchmaker needs to be strict with matching with same region unless queues are literally dead, in that case keep the option for NA games if needed, but prefer local when possible.

Finally logged in to let me post on the forums again…

Come on Blizz… please give us some info on the Oce forum status.

I recall getting the message ‘you must be behind your target to backstab’ I was behind the hunter, he was running away from me!!!

Nope. Maybe try Low Yat website or something. I know Malaysian Alliance got channel on WoW as well.
