This post is on behalf of the OCE community, and other neglected communities.
The purpose of this post is to receive a definitive answer from the devs as to why the OCE region (among others) continues to be neglected; we have no captain mode, no skirmish, and no battle mode. We have no community servers when we can clearly see European and North American groups and, as of today, Asian groups being given the means to host a community server.
The OCE Bannerlord community continues to cling to life thanks to the efforts of a few dedicated players who play almost every evening, despite the constant server crashes and neglect for our region. We love your game, Mount and Blade Warband was one of the most popular games in Australia and per capita I'd say the Australian community was enormous compared to the EU and US. The player base of games I'd consider to be offshoots of Mount and Blade like Holdfast is enormous, and I know many Holdfast players, Warband players, and Napoleonic Warfare players are just waiting for the right time to jump on Bannerlord multiplayer, but they won't wait forever. Together, TaleWorlds, we can make now the "right time". Either release official servers for the OCE region, or give us players what we need to have our own servers (preferably both) unless you want to cause the long, slow death of a committed and passionate player base.
Is it because you don't see many players? The Jim's Bannerlord discord has over 250 members, and we are just one clan. We've participated in the Captain's League and we are massive fans of your game - we just want to be able to finally play it. Our in game clan has 136 players on the roster and it wouldn't shock me if we were one of the larger clans in the entire game. There are other OCE discord servers larger than ours, but they are dead and see almost no activity, and that's not the fault of the players.
The latest updates adding ranked captain and skirmish mode mean nothing to our community since we can't even play those unless we are willing to brave ping in excess of 300. It is a rare player who is willing to do that let me tell you, and still we fought well in the Captain's League.
Please TW, we love your game and just want to be able to have the same experiences and fun as our North American, European, and Asian friends. How much longer are you going to ignore us?
EDIT: And as of this very moment (3:55pm AEST, 31/5/22) the OCE servers have vanished. Now we have no way to play multiplayer with a tolerable ping.
EDIT 2: 9:36pm, OCE has a battle server! But there's no team damage, we need team damage please!
