Aussies to get their own WoW servers.

From next week, World of Warcraft's oceanic servers will finally be hosted in Australia.

Blizzard announced the news tonight at a World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor pre-launch community event in Sydney.

For almost a decade, ANZ World of Warcraft players have played on US servers hosted in California. Select US servers were only categorized as Oceanic, and displayed Australian Eastern Time. The move to locally hosting should significantly reduce lag for players in Australia and New Zealand.

The change-over will occur as a part of next week's scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, October 28, local time. The Oceanic servers will be down for an extended window. When the servers come back online, they will be hosted in Australia.

Australian and New Zealand players with characters on other non-Oceanic US servers will be offered free character transfers to the Oceanic servers for a limited time.

The next expansion in the perennially popular MMO, World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, will be released on November 13.

 

Pretty cool news for high end PvE and PvP players in WoW, i know a couple of Aussies that got R1 with 200+ latency looking forward to seeing how they go with this change.
