Yeah sorry, I didn't really word things right. I have read the thread, albeit I read the first pages whenever the thread first came up a few months ago. I guess I'm wondering if someone in the know is aware of some changes that might now mean Australian based servers are a possibility?
I've always been under the assumption that Australian servers are just never going to happen - the pure $ invested v potential return issue. However, if its true that WAR will be able to pull it off, perhaps something in the industry has changed? If WoW's primary competitors (WAR) are able to host servers here, then the '$ invested v potential return' will change quite a bit.
I guess my question is, how bad is Australia's network infrastructure currently? Is it so bad that its just not possible to host that kind of data centre? Or bad enough so that we could host one, but iit would still be far below the world standard? Or.. is it the case that if one of the big companies were to do it, the others would follow suit as now there is a much bigger return on their investment (ie. staying competitive in the market) ?
