Blizzard has held a Blizzard Entertainment held a Warlords of Draenor pre-launch celebration in Sydney and shocked Australian players with the confirmation that Australia will soon have locally-hosted servers. For this astonishing news, Aussies fell into an ecstasy with sorrow.
Oceanic servers hosted by US for Australians
In the past decade, Australia never has their locally-hosted servers for World of Warcraft. They first join the game via North Amrican servers. And later, Oceanic servers are set for them to match with Australian time zones, but those servers are still hosted by US.
With the announcement of Aostralian World of Warcraft servers, Oceanic servers will transfer during extended server maintenance on October 28, and all Australians who have used the old de facto servers will get a chance to make a free character transfer to the new local servers for a limited time.
Highlights in this transition
1. The free character and guild realm transfer is available for a limited time.
2. The free character and guild realm transfer is optional. That means, those who refuse to transfer will remain there.
3. Players on the new Oceanic realms will still be able to play with friends on North American realms.
4. The new local realms will definitely lead to a faster and smoother gameplay with reduced latency for everyone in the game, not including those who opt not to play on Oceanic realms.
5. Due to its high player population, Frostmourne will not be an eligible transfer destination.
An ecstasy with sorrow for Australians
Some players think that Blizzard is finally doing something to reduce the disparity between their higher Australian purchase prices, and the sub-optimal experience delivered by their very far away servers, and that it takes so long.
It is indeed that long for Australians, but it comes finally. After all, it is good news for Aussies. As well as wow draenor expansion release date in the corner, it is time to buy cheapest WOW gold for these double blessings.
