I can't give you a definitive date, but it is something we're looking into and assessing the viability of. That will be one piece that will really help sell having an Oceanic server to the powers that be, the ones that make the decisions.īut there's a lot to consider with building that up, and so I can't give you a definitive yes or no. We do, I do, check that out, I do look at and say hey that's pretty good. Having said that, I do know there's a petition floating around right now, that is collecting signatures. Is when we'll consider the opportunity of an Oceanic server. When things die down a little bit on this end, and we have a bit more opportunity to look further at potential in the future. So right now our focus is a 100% on the existing servers that we have in North America and Europe. "Ohh, the subject that's close to my heart (laughs). Q: Will there be a oceanic server in the near future for all the AU and NZ players? - asian_springrollĪ: Julianne Harty - Blade & Soul Brand Manager So expect a latency of 220-250 when the release servers in Dallas, Texas go online. The best latency an Australian will get is 160-180, but the test server is in Austin, Texas.

Please sign that petition so that gives us a little bit more understanding on how much demand there is. Julianne Harty: It is pretty impressive, but if you want to help out, and you belong, if you live in the Australian or South East Asian areas and you want to have a server dedicated to that region. Omeed Dariani: Ah, and we've seen there's a petition with I think 1,800 signatures on it, at this point. And this is like I said something that's close to my own heart, I'd like to go back home and play. ![]() Um, this there's still discussion with that behind the scenes, and there's a bit of complications behind it but we're keeping an eye on it. Julianne Harty: It is a topic close to my heart, I will admit. Nico Coutant: Didn't Julianne send that question? *Collective Laughter* Omeed Dariani: What about an Australian server? The Blade & Soul Oceanic/SEA Community UPDATES (Please Scroll To The Bottom For The Latest Info): Thus giving more exposure to the petition and the cause it is trying to strive for. ![]() everyone about the petition and get them to sign it! Also please share this via email and on social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, etc). If you wish to further help the cause, please tell your friends, family, colleagues. Please sign petition to show NCSOFT and the Blade & Soul Team, that it would be commercially viable to support servers for the Oceanic and SEA regions. That latency/ping severely effects ones attack speed/DPS/skill activation and mobility. The Blade & Soul Team/NCSOFT must know that due to the game being heavily action-orientated, and the way the games "netcode" was designed. The Blade & Soul Team/NCSOFT currently stated that they would only support additional servers in other locations, if they can see there would be a decent playerbase for it. On May 20th, 2015 it was announced that Blade & Soul will be released this winter for North America and Europe. The Blade & Soul community have long awaited for this MMORPG to come to their region.
