+1 for listening to the Oceanic community and delivering, but
-1 for choosing one of the most popular and competitive NA servers. They completely threw a monkey wrench in a lot of plans by converting Nez to Oceanic time. Good intentions, but really poor implementation.

Props to NCSoft's Aion crew for listening to their peeps.

Will the 'Oceanic' server be actually be stationed in an Oceanic area? Otherwise this is not really enough...

No all servers are still on the East Coast. I have heard rumors they are in Texas but the community manager Ayase said the East Coast and I have yet to see him say otherwise. The time zone of the server only deals with when server wide events, fortress sieges and things of that nature, will take place.

Is it true that after performing an action in Aion, there is an unavoidable server round-trip delay before starting another one? Thus causing a guaranteed loss of effectiveness for high-ping players?

Something I heard on a forum, but with all the fanboi and slamboi crap swirling around Aion I have no idea whether to believe it or not. It seems unlikely that such a basic error would be made in this day and age.

@Claw - There is some sort of sticky-foot, stuck after casting non-sense that everyone experiences. Some players say it's the game waiting for the animation to complete before allowing you to move again. It totally sucks as a caster in PVP. however, Runes of Magic does the same exact thing and that was the first game I experience it in, so I'm not thinking server delay. I think it's more in the sequencing of events in how combat was designed/implemented only because it feels exactly like what happens in ROM.

@ Ben... While the servers might not be in Australia or NZ (well in fact were all kinda glad they are not in NZ :P ) one of the main reasons we wanted Australia servers is due to PVP system used, mainly the keep raids that are time specific. My understanding is that keeps will become attackable at set times, i remember reading one post saying its from 8pm -> 11pm so obviously this time in AEST in around 10am -> to 1pm meaning that, for a lot of us we will not be able to participate. And i know that for the smart few who are reading the time i am posting this and saying... 'but hey eld your posting at 10 am AEST' well while i might get away with discrete massively reading during a physics lecture, i really really think they might notice me doing some keep raiding.
And besides, now we are free to say colour and not have to hide our Australian pride behind color.
