[Suggestion] Invite more Oceanics/Australians

[Thornmisfor]

UPDATE:

Thank you very much to Taleworlds for the new wave of invites! The games_on_net battle server had some intense action going on last night.

Cheers to everyone who bumped the topic too with their thoughts/concerns, much appreciated.

The only time I've ever seen the games_on_net servers hosting a singular party of more than 20 players was when the majority of the US and EU servers were down.

For my own selfish reasons I'm throwing out the idea of possibly getting a new influx of players to the beta. Too often do I load up M&B and see 0 or at max 2 players sitting in the Australian servers and then cannot be bothered to even join in.

I've a lot of friends that have applied from this continent and not been invited which is causing no small amount of friction as I explain loudly how great the game is on ventrilo.

TLDR; get some more mates in to play the game. It makes the game fun and provides a more varied/diverse perspective on the game features and bugs.

I fully support this. Usually it's only me, or maybe 2-3 players online during 9pm-12pm. Moreover I'm usually the only female player, although there are 2-3 others I can name they aren't on that much either.

Deathmatches and CTF with 2-4 people is just plain boring, so I hope to see more oceanic people on soon!

 

[Phallas]

Ooo rah! More Oceanic players please. We have the most stable servers but not enough players!

 

[Phallas]

Bump. I have seen  a maximum of 15 unique players on the Oceania server

 

[LynX]

Strangely, I can never get the full listing of 18 servers, and I never got any AUS/Oceanic servers to list.

All I see are US, EU and game_on_net servers which are 300+ ping.

 

[Scorch!]

The games_on_net servers are the Australian ones.

Where do you live? I am guessing somewhere north of Australia?

Whut, those servers give me even higher ping than US/EU!

I'm from a relatively further area, Malaysia. 

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I'd be nice to have some more. Seems a bit presumptuous to complain though.

 

[fouytr]

It'd be great to have some more considering on_net's got a few servers going, and i've never seen more than one occupied.

Amade was having a high ping from Malaysia as well a while ago, and he contacted his ISP about his ping to the servers, and they were able to cut the ping timings in half for him. Maybe you could do the same?

It was discussed on this page of the Oceanic Server thread.

And he got this result:

Wow...

I e-mailed my ISP to complain about me getting 400ms latency from Malaysia to Australian servers and they responded by solving the problem - my ping's cut in half!
Okay, so that's still around 200ms average... but better than the US server at least.

Here I come folks! 

edit: Oh yeah... with the other servers down there's a helluva Americans on the Aussie server with higher pings than me to bully. It's nice when the shoe is on the other foot once in a while

That's interesting, thanks alot man! I'll give it a try. I'd up ya if the forums had a rep system.

Ironic that we Singaporeans laugh at the Malaysians' (normally) ****ty internet.

My ping is usually around 260, and occasionally drops to 230 on a good day.

 

[Phallas]

It would be nice to get a response from an official.

 

[Phallas]

[Moddan]

Do more than 20 people live in Australia?

 

[Phallas]

Strange how ignorant people can be. Your on the net. there is a little thing called Google.

I don't know whether you realize it is an insult,  whether it was meant as a joke or not is irrelevant
If i get insulted its my prerogative to say so , what the hell is it to you anyway ?
Just jumping on the bandwagon aye, typical ongst. Bump

And wtf is it to you if i object? Just jumping on the bandwagon aye, typical ongst. Bump

Wagons are pretty awesome but that doesn't come into this, you're still acting like a douche to everybody, then *****ing when you're called out for it.

Ontopic:

More Australians would be nice though, some friends applied when the beta reopened but were not accepted.
