I'm going to set a few thing straight right now briefly.
I present to you our website traffic for the past month broken down by country.
As you can clearly see, the OCE region (while it does exist) does not compare to our North America or our European player bases. This is also evident by when school is in session. Our population drops to around 100 players late at night. All of those are Australian. Now you have to compare this to our European population which is probably around 500-600 during peak and our American Population which is over 1000 during peak.
Needless to say OCE (while still being part of our community) is the smallest of our communities. We JUST got an EU proxy online. Our EU PotPvP server isn't even stable at the moment. We are hard at work trying to get this live. We have hit a LOT of issues with the EU PotPvP server, hence is why it's not live. Every one of our issues has been from latency. There is absolutely NO WAY we are even going to consider an AU server/proxy until we can figure out what the hell is wrong with all of the EU issues.
Next after that we have to determine if it is really beneficial for us to do it. I'm not dying to throw out a lot of money to please 100 players at night. If we were to triple our AU population due to a new server/proxy out there, then yes it would be beneficial.
Until then our priorities are staying the same. Also we didn't just add the EU Proxy/PotPvP server on a whim. It had been in discussion for months now.

This picture isn't loading for me, and I'm curious: how do other areas of he world compare to the Southeast Asia/Australia region? (Specifically, I have South America and MENA areas in mind)
