Local Guild Wars Server...

[Deleted member 78630]

Let's all nag Web Africa - WAGEhttp://www.wage.co.za/, to ask ArenaNet - ncsoft if they could host a local server for when it's released.

As they are currently lookin into hosting a bunch of vital overseas servers. Like Steam.

No, ArenaNet have priorities (GW2). And as found, they usually not listening to it's players.

right, but they might listen to WA

 

[Jagtiger]

They don't know who are WA... Some company. And do really WA want to host it?
(For fact, there a bunch of useless servers in Euro area. Most of them are ghost towns.)

No, they won't listen to WA. WA is no one, in the International context.

Plus, GW plays fine with it being hosted internationally, it is not a FPS, so you don't need very low latencies (sub 100ms), 200-500ms is perfect for playing GW, and then even on a very competitive level.

NC Soft uses their own proprietary technologies which runs the world of GW, spanning hundreds of servers for a virtual world, so why would they want to split this or extend it to little old South Africa?
