Greetings MechWarriors,

We will be extending the current OC Server test in Sydney for another week while we continue to work on a resolution for the high ping rates for the SEA region players and the rest of the world.
As it currently stands, the data has of course shown great improvements for the Australian and New Zealand players, however the number of players now receiving 300ms or higher has also massively increased for the rest of the world.

Here are some raw data from the server tests so far:

Singapore:

Ping Range

% of Population

<100

8.6%

100-200

15.7%

200-300

67.4%

>300

8.3%

 

 Sydney:

Ping Range

% of Population

<100

12.5%

100-200

1.6%

200-300

24.8%

>300

61.0%


Ideally we would like this server to cater to the OC and SEA regions the most, while also maintaining playability for those in NA and EU regions to keep the server’s queue decently populated. 
Therefore we will be continuing to investigate for more options while extending the current test another week on the Sydney OC server location.
