OCE players get switched to NA servers when numbers drop too low to adequately fill lobbies. This happens towards 1am AEST most nights. OCE players are then faced with unplayable PING speeds of up to 300ms. So most switch off and walk away.

During a recent trial, OCE players were switched to SEA servers and saw PING speeds of between 60ms-150ms. This made games far more competitive and playable.

The OCE server lacks numbers as it is after midnight and for Western Australia players the OCE server is virtually a ghost town when 10:30pm (local time) rolls around making their prime playing time all reduced to NA ping speeds.

When lobby numbers cause a switch of server for OCE players. We want the OCE server switched to SEA servers instead of NA servers in a move to:

a) Make games competitive for OCE players.

b) Stop the reduction in players when servers switch.

c) To get back volume in OCE player pool.
