It would be great if SEA countries are separated from rest of Asia, and/or be allowed to join Oceania.
Kinda sucks we can't play with mates from SEA region and they are stuck with Chinese-speaking players.
Not everyone in Asia speak and understand Chinese.
Sure, they might not be native English speakers either, but I believe most can understand English, or least better than with Mandarin.
TLDR; Let our SEA friends join us in Oceania.

@spice badger It would be greatly appreciated if you could please let your team know

spice badger
#

Okay

#

Will do that

vast barn
#

Thanks!

spice badger
#

I mean I will relay your message to the team

vast barn
#

Yeah, I understand

spice badger
#

I can't guarantee they will make the changes

#

Cool

#

But

vast barn
#

As long as they know about it I guess

spice badger
#

Statistically Speaking

#

More population in SEA region speaks Mandarin other than English?

#

I have never been there

#

Idk

vast barn
#

Doubt it. Only Singaporeans speak Chinese more than the rest (other races are there too)
Countries like Malaysia and Indonesia have a small percentage of Chinese too

spice badger
#

How about Vietnam and Thailand

#

Are they considered in SEA too?

vast barn
#

Yeah, SEA too

spice badger
#

Interesting

vast barn
#

Mostly countries belonging to ASEAN

#

Personally, I'm a Chinese Singaporean, so I can understand Chinese, but I believe quite a few players from SEA countries don't.
Even though the numbers might not be high, it would still be great if the developers know about this, especially since most Oceania guilds have SEA players, or vice versa and would prefer english chat.

So, where are you guys playing on right now ?
What server region ? Oce or Asia ? PvP or PvE ? What Guild ?
Seems like we lack English speaking guild from SEA.

I avoid NA/EU because of the wide timezone gap and ping, so my choice is ASIA or OCE.

Oceania. Thought there'd be more english speakers than in Asia, but guess not.
I'm a PvE player, and with region lock PvE servers, there is going to be even fewer english speaking players in my county/server.
While I can understand Chinese, I rather see english world chat.

#

I see. How many people are you playing with

#

If you play on region lock server, then you are now residing in Oceania ? not SEA ? Before the policy change recently, only Steam account from Oce was allowed. or cmiiw

#

I'm solo, but I want an english community hence playing in Oceania.
Can't play on Oceania region lock though.

empty flint
#

I see , and you are from SEA, right ? which is considered Asia, so you cant join region lock server in Oce.

vast barn
#

Yeah, and unfortunately lumped with Central Asia, hence this suggestion.

#

Asia is pretty diverse, but I suppose large majority of players are mainland Chinese, so probably not worth it to separate out just for SEA, JP, Korea etc to be honest.
Still, I hope to at least let someone know.

#

Yea

SEA players can already go play in OCE server. I'm from SEA and i play in OCE non region blocked server.

vast barn
#

Yeah, the point is to be treated as Oceania, so SEA players can play with OCE players in region-blocked counties.

#

Thats why Oce server is quite full coz we swarm their servers, so we need our own SEA server, easier to gather coz it will be our goto server

#

lets just keep upvoting similar suggestion regarding SEA server so we get our own
