    Oceanic servers would be laggy for players in NA because they're located in Australia. PvP is the good part. :D

    It's just unofficially an Oceanic server. Meaning that if you want to play with other Aussies, etc., sign on there. I don`t think the actual servers are in AU/NZ.

    I have no issues with it being the unofficial oceanic server. This means nothing to me other than more people to bloody my swo- er. Enter into transactions with.

    In short, yes I will be trying it.

    As long as we're on a pvp server, I'm happy

    Every server is a PVP server I believe.

    That is correct, I have been playing the Alpha/Beta for the past month or so. ArcheAge is a PVP focused game. You don't have to participate in PVP to progress in the game but there are certain areas where you are automatically flagged for PVP with the other "faction" (east vs west) AND much of the endgame activity revolves around PVPing or at the very least defending yourself against other players that will try to steal your ship/trade pack/dignity. On top of that you can also PVP against members of your own faction (pirates or enemies of all) if they repeatedly break the law.

    Every server is a PvP server but I'll try to find time to talk to the other leads this evening and see if everyone still has the green light for tomorrow.

    EDIT:

    @BarakObomber

    Both of those links, plus my own investigation has shown we are not on either of the unofficial Oceanic Servers. We are on Aranzeb. We aren't on Kyrios nor are we on Ollo. ;)

    Also all the NA servers are located in Dallas TX.

    And for those who are curious here is a demographic breakdown for our server based on surveys:


    Aranzeb:
    • Where do you currently reside?
    65.12% United States
    16.28% Canada
    2.33% Central America and Caribbean
    0% South America
    9.3% Oceania
    0% Asia
    6.98% Other

    • What is your preferred language?
    100% English
    0% French
    0% Spanish
    0% Portuguese
    0% Other - Asian languages
    0% Other

    • What is your age
    4.65% <18
    39.53% 18-21
    32.56% 22-25
    13.95% 26-30
    9.3% 31-35
    0% > 35
    0% I'd rather not specify

    • What is your sex?
    78.57% Male
    16.67% Female
    4.76% Other / I'd rather not specify

    • Which of the following are you most interested in?
    76.74% PVP
    6.98% PVE
    16.28% Crafting and Other

    • Which of the following best describes your playstyle?
    80.49% Hardcore
    9.76% Casual
    9.76% Occassional

    • Have you played ArcheAge before? (check all that apply)
    51.16% Yes, in Alpha
    67.44% Yes, in Closed Betas
    79.07% Yes, in Open Beta
    11.63% Yes, in Korean ArcheAge
    16.28% Yes, in Russian ArcheAge
    2.33% No


    This survey was taken of the ArcheAge forums, and I have no clue how many people this encompases

    Whoops. :) I thought it was Kyrios. Didn't know about the unofficial meaning it wasn't in AUS either.

    Can the four races play together or are we locked into the 2 and 2?
