Why singapore server?

Why is it called Singapore and not Asia or w/e? Singapore is an extremely tiny country on the tip of Malaysia lol :P

Asia is quite big if you havent noticed.

Also Singapore is one of the closest developed countries to Australia/NZ, which is currently the best gateway for said users. They can't have aussie servers because of much they cost :/
Well europe and america is big to, and those servers are called europe and america.

Pedantry is fun, kids.

They could have called it 'Asia', it's true, but it was added later than the Europe and America server (so the specific location was somehow more significant) *and* it's still not as good to use the SG server for some people in Australasia as it is the US server (NZ, for example, still gets better ping through US than SG).

If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

Russia is in Asia, but you don't call Russians Asian.

Really? You're getting jelly over the NAME of a server?

Are you just jelly of the country for some strange reason?

I'm in Hong Kong and when I connect to Singapore the ping is pretty mad at ~250, and constantly spikes up to 800+. If I connect to Europe its downright unplayable at 2k. America is also very bad with normal pings at 300-400 and spikes up to 1500. Is this due to packet loss on my side?
