Server Locations

Since this is a game being developed by New Zealanders, I'd imagine we would get a nearby server fairly soon after release.

Will the Oceania servers be released when the game is released? Or will Australian/New Zealand Players have to wait after the game is released?

Although we'll look into the costing of NZ/Aus servers after release, we'll probably only deploy them if there's a large enough NZ/Aus community to justify an additional realm.

It honestly plays just fine on American servers from NZ though, we've been testing that a lot recently.

I'm sure there will be a larger demand for an Aus/NZ server after the game gets released, it's bound to happen.

But by then you'll have more than enough money to support it. ^_^

I know you guys will be successful!
Happy Days Abound.
What's your ping to us server (pathofexile.com) form AU/NZ?
below 200 ms?

I got around 150 to pathofexile.com (dallas, tx same as server location prolly) from central/eastern europe.

I think yes, it's below 200 ms (around 150 if I recall correctly from someone's post), and it's pretty much playable from NZ and from Europe too without any kind of noticeable lag.
i wouldnt worry about europe its fairly obvious we will get our own server. id probably still play on the american though as you just know your going to get alot of non english spam as per usual

depending on how chat will work anyway


if you started getting an asian following (doubtful) then a server around there/aus would be beneficial for alot of people covering a fairly large area
It doesn't really seem to work that way. I'm in aus and generally get better pings to the US than to asian places, despite the greater distance. It's the way the infrastructure is laid out. The aus link to the US goes through NZ across the pacific to the west coast of the US.

From aus I get 240ms ping to pathofexile.com
always loved watching friend rage after dieing in diablo 2 hardcore on chars they spent 3 weeks grinding nonstop with the best gear, due to a lagspike on the long likes to US for once id love to see a game only have servers outside of the US :P see how they deal when a game doesnt have under 50 ping
