Horrible lag since Oceanic merge

Hey guys, as you know, Blizzard has decided to merge Oceanic players back with US players for pvp. It sucks for both sides, yes we all know. Playing with or against a player with 250+ ms latency, especially in 2023, in just… disappointing. We love US players, we dont love playing on your servers. We dont want to play on servers that are literally half a world away, when you have servers located here, locally!!! Please change back ASAP.

Please see topic back from 2021 when you did the exact same thing but then reverted it back: Unmerge Oceanic with US Servers for PvP - IMMEDIATELY

On both occasions, you literally didnt consult the oceanic player base at all. Please communicate with us. Cheers

Yes, let’s go back to our dead region, let’s not have 3 minute queues. Unmerging is a bad decision, I know because it’s already happened and you seem to know too so I don’t know why you’d want this.

I’m looking for communication from Blizzard, they say they listen to our feedback and engage with their player base… but where? I came here to the official forums to see this discussion, and it doesnt exist.

Oceanic players are ignored here in WoTLK general, and in our Oceanic General Discussion every second post is about how unplayably laggy the servers are for all formats of the game.

Here’s a simple, real solution: Make this optional.

  • Default mode you connect to US hosted BGs and arena
  • Uncheck the box and you are warned that this may result in drastically longer queue times, but in this mode you only ever join Oceanic hosted BGs and arenas

It’s laggy but we get games. It had to happen.
