Fighting in video games can be chaotic

A request for an Oceania server region Lost Ark Gold began back in the month of November, 2021. It was months before Lost Ark's global launch. In a post titled "Please reconsider Oceania Servers"(opens in new tab) user ooglydit wrote "While I'm very thankful for the effort that AGS has done in getting the region-lock removed for Australia & New Zealand, having a dedicated server for the region could go leaps and bounds towards making the game more enjoyable for us." The main reason behind the request was concern about the speeds when connecting to distant servers. "As as of now we have only two options, which are NA/EU, we're considering either -250 ping from NA or -300 ping for EU."

It appears that Ooglydit's concerns were legitimate. As of this writing the post, the call to have Oceania servers was the most popular post on the Lost Ark forums, with over 3,000 respondents adding to the need for a server specific to a region, and the quantity is growing.As players were concerned, the high rate of ping from connecting with distant servers can impact the experience. "I notice that I'm not enjoying the enjoyment of my skills due to the time delay between animation and the result puts an impediment on everything," writes user Poppleop. Rigeth, on the other hand, points out that high ping can put Oceania players at a disadvantage during PvP. "It's generally accepted for most Australians to stay around 203ms therefore, if we go into PVP against an opponent with 18ms or better we will usually lose 1v1" Rigeth and his team point out.
