Planetside 2 gets Aussie Server

Planetside 2 is blowing Aussie minds - mostly because unlike other countries we never really got the chance to play the first game in all its glory. Even without Aussie servers the netcode is good enough to deliver a decent experience to Australians - but as of early this morning that doesn't even matter... the game now has Australian servers. The server name is Rhea, and it's in the region of AUS (which makes complete sense). We got in contact with John Smedley over something other than twitter to find out the official word on the server, and he had this to say,

We're genuinely excited to have Planetside 2 have local Australian servers. It's a first for SOE and we're hoping that the commitment we're showing to Australian gamers can get them to take a look at Planetside 2 and help us build a thriving community down there!

We're genuinely excited too, John.


Let's hope these NC scum all die horrible deaths.
