PoE Lan - How is it- Only challenges?

Hi ShadowReturns,

Path of Exile is Free to play, and you can play with friends, but not over LAN.

If you're concerned about latency in SEA areas, I recommend typing Singapore into the gateway box, as that will allow you to play on a more local server.

If you're playing with users from other countries however, then you'll automatically connect to the gateway of whoever created the instance you're in, so you may still experience high latency with friends overseas.
