Well, it was a very sad day when they announced that our local APAC servers would be shut down. We don't get many companies with local servers and we always have ping issues with American and European Servers.

Anyway, BioWare are offering a free once off transfer to any other non-APAC server.

Just thought I would let anyone know who has characters on a APAC Server.

Will have to find out where the boy has his characters and move them if necessary. Thanks for the heads up.

At least they tried and gave Oceania local servers, something nearly no one does. But looks like its not worth maintaining the servers. Don't blame them with Australian prices, lol...

Because they don't have enough of a population to justify the costs running that shard, I imagine. Either way, yeah that sucks.

There's been a thread on the forums for at least 6 months where the more hardcore players were saying their servers were dead. So I think they've wanted this to happen for a while. Sadly, you guys either have to deal with high pings or low server populations. I don't think there is anything that can be done. EA started with Oceanic servers, but the hardcore players wanted high population more.

Yeah, it's all good. I'll miss looking down at my bar and seeing 20ms ping, but I mostly do PvE so it doesn't bother me that much. Saying that, even with PvP, we Aussies are used to playing on EU/US Servers with 100ms-200ms ping. It's mostly a shame because it's one of the few companies that took that risk, and I was thinking it would lead more companies to do it as well.

Thanks, but I actually went to The Harbringer cause I only do PvE Servers, and that's where the majority of Aussies are heading. It's the new "unofficial" Oceanic PvE Server now.
