This is straight up the dumbest move I’ve ever seen. Straight unsubbing if not reverted lol.

This is a very bad decision by Blizzard. A change like this by Blizzard should have consultation with the Oceanic community prior to being considered/implemented. This really needs to be reverted otherwise OCE PvP participation in BGS/arenas is literally going to be worse off than having a smaller server pool to play in.

Revert this immediately. Terrible game breaking change for OCE pvpers.

Massive lag for Oceanic players, destroying all competitive PvP

We need to spread awareness and get this fixed. Keep spamming keep posting.
Its game braking and will cause PVP to collapse. It affects both US and OCE players and will ruin the game. Please listen to your player base and revert!

Blizzard please change this. You’re about to destroy what could have been an amazing TBC experience. I will be dropping my sub if this change is not reverted.

Can confirm, I am experiencing very inconsistent gameplay with lag and delays in spell activations at some times and less so at other times, makes it unenjoyable to play.

This is the worst change Blizzard has ever done. Literally reverting back to 2007 to save a few extra dollars.
Completely ruined OCE PvP.
Will quit if they don’t change this back.

Hey there!

I play on Netherwind US and the ping is actually making the game unplayable, went from 30ms all the time to 200+ at all times, the game feels laggy and its not a good experience, whatever was done should definitely be reverted.

Was excited to experience BC as an adult, with a fast computer and fast internet. Just unsubed.

Literally so garbage, i only started playing again for arena & now i just have to play with 200+ms… queue times were already not that bad on pre-patch, id rather longer queue with better quality matches.

Well this is a pretty sad change. One of the biggest drawing cards that got me back playing WoW after I quit in Wotlk so many years ago was that we’d have real oceanic servers and we wouldn’t have to play with 200-400ms ping.

I can’t believe blizzard would give us our own servers, remove batching and significantly improve gameplay experience and then just turn around and take it all away without any notice or consultation. This really ruins TBC PVP for me and I just don’t want to play the game as it currently stands. I’ve unsubbed and I’ll keep an eye on the situation. But if it doesn’t go back to normal I won’t resub.

Hit em where it hurts boys, refund those boosts till this is changed. Cancel your subs.
If you don’t, then don’t expect anything to change on blizzards end, they only listen to 1 thing and that’s $$$

Just when I think Blizzard have made the most confusing/bizarre/tone deaf decision they come out with something to top it. This company is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth and any good will they have earned over the years is long gone. What a pathetic display…

I hope Blizzard comes out with a micro transaction that allows you to play X amount of arena games on your local servers.

Everyone viewing and replying to this thread should also view a thread titled " [OCE Players. Here is how to request a refund] ".

This misleading and outright cheat of a change is grounds for full refunds in AUD (not blizz store credit). If any such request is denied or prolonged extensively it is also grounds for a law suit to be filed. Get your refunds now for any subscriptions, dark portal pass, or character boosts you paid for if you want to get out of this. The fact that this was stated to be a “deliberate” change only enforces perceptions of deceitful and unfair/discriminatory actions on blizzards part.

Don’t just unsub and walk away whilst letting blizz keep your money!!
