I've been a long-time Blizzard game player and this issue has popped up in EVERY SINGLE GAME. The end result remains the same, unfortunately. The cost-benefit ratio is just not in their favour; our infrastructure is poor at best and largely monopolised by Telstra because of old government links.

The best period of gaming for Aussies existed for Starcraft and Broodwar, where we were allowed for a long, long period of time to maintain our own servers (Granted the latency in those games is client-client, rather than client-server). It allowed us to establish our own communties and play with local players, producing the best experience so far.

Does anyone know the logistics of maintaining a hub of WoW servers? (aside from the obvious payment issues)

Hi Martyr (if you're the same guy from ^DAG^ :P)
