Megaserver & Oceanic Players: How will this work?

Post » Mon Mar 25, 2013 7:24 pm

Ok, so I love everything I have seen/heard about the game, especially the latest buffet of news and tidbits coming out of PAX.. the only thing that was addressed early on but hasn't reared it's head lately is how Megaserver will work for Oceanic (Aus/NZ) Players.

Matt Firor did some interviews with TV3 here in New Zealand on primetime news even and said they wanted to make it work (latency wise) for the TESO players in Australasia, but it would be excellent to know if this is by way of server nodes in Aus/NZ (as part of Megaserver, there are bound to be multiple nodes to cover the globe properly surely?) or if there is actually just one giant node (unlikely though right?), will the US Megaserver be on the West Coast at least, as that would still work ok for us, giving about a 120ms latency which is good enough for me in PvP (although localised nodes would obviously be optimal).

Oceanic players, the more Zenimax/Bethesda know we are vocal and excited by this; the more likely it is we will get a more satisfying solution!

Looking forward to TESO like a kid waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve... so hyped!

IST.

and here I was, worried that it would be East coast (where Zenimax is) making a tiny bit of extra ping where I live (Anchorage Alaska, a west coast server usually has about 54ms latency/ping)...
Or it would be west coast, and when I likely move to the East coast in a few year's i would have the same problem...

Way to make me feel like mr first-world problems haha

I'm hoping they can somehow do multiple nodes, but I have no idea how server technology works. TBH, as long as the server is in America and I live in America I should have less than 80ms latency/ping... So I should shut up, eh?
