Turns out WAR will have some oceanic servers, so you won't be getting incredible ping times.
Australian and New Zealand players will be able to get into the WAR simultaneously with North American and European players when Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning releases in Fall 2008.
In addition, WAR will also feature dedicated servers in Australia, ensuring the best game play experience possible for enthusiastic Australian and New Zealand players.
WAR Oceanic FAQ
Where will the server be located?
The game server will be located on mainland Australia and service New Zealand, Singapore, and other surrounding South East Asian territories.
When will the server be available?
Australian, North American, and European servers will all launch simultaneously with the client available throughout the supported territories mentioned above.
What are the benefits to having a local, regional server?
A local server means reduced latency and packet loss. These advantages allow for better performance in Realm vs. Realm battles and an overall improved game experience with limited lag and a more responsive environment. In addition there will be a higher population during peak Oceanic play times allowing players to better coordinate their in-game efforts.
Will Oceanic players be able to play on North American servers?
Absolutely, players from both North America and the Oceanic region will play using the same client giving them access to both North American and Oceanic servers. In addition servers will be listed with regional tags and able to be sorted by ping rate allowing players to select the best server for them quickly and easily.
What server hardware will be used for the Australian Server?
The game will be hosted on the same server technology used for North American servers. |

| Good for them! I really liked having some Euros and Oceanic people playing on U.S. servers though. It really helped for groups and activity for off-peak U.S. players to have these people on the same server. |

| I hear that. I do like that Oceanic players can play on NA servers with no problem. I'd like to see an official word like that on whether Euro players can play on NA servers or not. It seems like it's a "You shouldn't do it, but we're not going to stop you" kind of situation. |
