Lol yeah.

I had a gamer friend from WoW who lives in Aus. He tried to play tera and just couldn't do it.

On that note, there has to be something stopping these companies from putting a actual server in Aus. Maybe someone with info can shed some light, has to be something like cost, support, maybe not enough players to make it worth it? Of course it could just be "sorry we don't want to".
Tera had fairly small hitboxes/collision checks, so far in Wildstar all I've seen are aoe the size of a truck, I think it'll be hard to miss anything but fast moving mobs moving perpendicular to the direction you're facing or something. Probably will have 0 effect on raiding(boss stands still/moving fairly slowly due to the tank moving it) or soloing(mobs always come your direction so easy to predict). PvP should be horrible for players with high ping though.

I am looking for someone to be a Site Operator for Wildstar. If anyone is interested please shoot me a PM. This is a profit sharing position.

I have been having a blast with the Wildstar tests. I don't know how I'm going to juggle a full time job and two new MMO's (actually three since FFXIV is good times as well). Sweet baby jesus.

Lol yeah, by next spring/summer I could be playing ffxiv, wildstar, and EQ:N, along with the usual FPS/RPGs.

I'm from Australia and Tera was fine PVE wise. There are definitely enough people in the oceanic to support a server for any big MMO launch..The fact that we will still play the MMO with shit ping anyway makes it pointless for them to put a server here even though it would be glorious.

Can I have more information regarding this? Have a lot of history with websites and coding.

No coding necessary unless you count HTML formatting for making posts look good. A site operator essentially runs the site as an admin. You are in charge of putting out content (news, opinion, guides etc), you are in charge of QA, you are in charge of creating a team of writers etc. We handle hosting, web development. I give you some developer contacts for interviews etc. I also assist you along the way with content ideas, or content itself. You will also have access to my Sr. Editor as well.

With the game launched, I expect at least 4-5 articles a week of any kind. Pre-Release needs 1-3 articles depending on what's out there.

Email me:[email protected]/* <![CDATA[ */!function(t,e,r,n,c,a,p){try{t=document.currentScript||function(){for(t=document.getElementsByTagName('script'),e=t.length;e--;)if(t[e].getAttribute('data-cfhash'))return t[e]}();if(t&&(c=t.previousSibling:emoji_nose:{p=t.parentNode;if(a=c.getAttribute('data-cfemail':emoji_nose:{for(e='',r='0x'+a.substr(0,2)|0,n=2;a.length-n;n+=2)e+='%'+('0'+('0x'+a.substr(n,2)^r).toString(16:emoji_nose:.slice(-2);p.replaceChild(document.createTextNode(decodeURIComponent(e:emoji_nose:,c)}p.removeChild(t)}}catch(u){}}()/* ]]> */if you are interested in other details. I have a few people interested so I have a few people to consider.

As far as I know there isn't really a closed beta going on, just occasional stress tests. However, stress tests guarantee you an invite to CB apparently.

I'm not in so I'm not 100% sure, but it's what I've read in several places. Hopefully we get something soon.

There is a closed beta, it runs from Thursday to Sunday every week. Stress test is different from that.

You don't seem to know very far then, you'd probably be thrilled to read all those "Closed Beta Patch Notes" features articles on Wildstar official site.
