Make a nz/aus server seriously stupid there isnt one

would be nice, keeps getting asked, but they always cite money and lack of players as the reasons
money makes sense
but players doesn’t, not when more than half the game is with bots anyway
Another reason for people to desert is bad Internet if the game is lagging too much

people asked for SEA server many times. and nothing happened.
overall it is cause of low playerbase. or translated from corporate: there are low amount of players who will spend money in those countries, so there is no need to make server there. just like there is no need to have servers in africa or south america.
There aren’t enough players to fill games on “US” (where most of the playerbase actually seems to be playing) and you want a separate server for NZ?
This because MM is borked, it fills one side real peeps, then other side just gets bots,
if it where to wait till both sides had players, instead of just starting a match, once one side is full, would be another story.
WT has a SEA server, i get 150 ping to that, Na 220ish, EU 280ish, and RU, lol up to 450 latency
At the pace of the game of late, unless we get a SEA server, i cant see myself continuing to play at 220 ping minimum.
there would still be playerbase disparity. you almost always have one side with more players than others in queue. lets say in tunisia it is 2:1 difference in playerbase. so 20 allies need to wait for 10 axis. to start a match? you will get either 10v5 matches, or if you wait 10v10 and 10v0.
and WT has 20x more players than enlisted.
if they made SEA server it would be mostly populated by bots. 1 battle take same amount of resources on server if there is 1 player or 20 players on it. SEA players would basically cost gaijin and DF 5 or 10 times more than NA/EU/EEU players while at the same time getting less money per player (not many people in SEA countries could afford premium unit pricing).
this is sad corporate calculation.

Pity they didn’t, think about this, while trying to cater to older consoles, by reducing graphics, to be playable on old old consoles, instead of the graphics we should have.
i mean if they can not even get a new console, what chance they going to spend money, in game?
And not all that live in SEA region are poor, and i am not rich either, but i have close to $3.5-4k AU in both WT/Enlisted game
I really had hoped that after putting money into game, we would of eventually get a SEA server, really seems no reason to keep being butchered by those with 9ms latency, against , my min 220 to NA.
WT you can get away with 200 ping, its not like enlisted, due to its faster pace, on obj, fighting, in close and lag kills
australia is exception in the region, but how many australians are there in the game? SEA has large population, but not many play enlisted and out of those who play few can afford to pay gaijin pricing. WT can justify having SEA server cause it has 20x playerbase and that means cost per game is same as in other regions.
10$ a month for people in NA/EU/EEU is basically nothing. so even if they have old consoles they are target for at least BP/premium. getting new console costs at least 550€ and that is substantial investment even for someone in NA/EU/EEU, not to mention new PC specially with gpu prices raging lately.
