CCP Frame C C P C C P Alliance 3011	Posted - 2014.07.25 05:15:00 - [1] - Quote Dear Players, Due to some players from other battleservers using Oceania battleservers as a venue for farming battles thanks to the lower population there, we will be shutting them down during downtime on 28 July 2014. Any players in the Oceania region will be directed to either the Asia battleservers or the US battleservers, depending on their individual ISP routing. Oceania players should expect a slight increase in latency when playing on either of these battleservers, yet hopefully more and varied opponents will balance that out in the overall gameplay experience. Thank you for your understanding, -DUST 514 Development Team CCP Frame

Ghural WarRavens Final Resolution. 271	Posted - 2014.07.25 09:56:00 - [10] - Quote This sucks It's not just the boosting players. It's also the decreasing player count. We used to be able to get good battles on the oceanic server once upon a time. The oceanic server would also randomly disappear sometimes too. Does this mean when legion happens that there will be no oceanic server? Don't forget the aussies. We get shafted all the bloody time when it comes to server location.

It's much easier for CCP to blame players for the shut down rather than acknowledging that bugs, the botched announcement at fanfest, and general decline in numbers due to lack of marketing and delivering on promises. It's bloody rude for CCP to blame players for this. Thanks for yet another middle finger CCP .

Thank you for your understanding, -DUST 514 Development Team If farming was the issue it would of been dealt with a long time ago. Don't you people at CCP Understand we the community are tired of Cop outs? Quit treating us like we are stupid. You closed it down for money, there is nothing surprising here. Stop trying to sugar coat stuff that is clear. If it was anything else you would of said you where using the now available resources to improve the other two servers. Like comon
CELESTA AUNGM Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 181	Posted - 2014.07.25 16:44:00 - [24] - Quote I don't subscribe to any gloom-n-doom players among us who on impulse want to suggest this is a sign of the franchise entering bancruptcy. But it is a shame to lose Oceania. We did not ALL use this server for farming and score manipulation. It was a great location for individual player training, and when I found out about Oceania, it helped give me a board where I could operate my vehicle more freely, perfect mavigation tricks, and build the confidence in my skills ("Confidence" is one thing each player REALLY needs in this game, to keep from feeling he/she is being beaten up humiliatingly by Dust 514---and it's so hard to get enough breathing room on these maps to build your confidence!--a lot of you Newberrys and Vets know what I mean with this game). Highly-regarded groups like Learning Coalition used to conduct some of their session in Oceania too, if I'm not mistaken. What happens to them now? ...Oceania will be missed. Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne... No story can have life without writers and publishers.

Venerable Phage Red Shirts Away Team 191	Posted - 2014.07.26 10:09:00 - [28] - Quote Aussie here. If farming was that bad and obvious why not just ban the farmers main and all Alts or reset their SP to starter level? Surely on a sparesly populated server it would have been easier to catch the farmers and then penalized them too? Seems a very lazy response and points to a lack of will to boot exploiters even on the easiest server to patrol. =][= So how as an Aussie am I going to compete on a 150ms+ lag in shotgun or nova knife combat? Only thing that will vaguely work at those lag settings are REs and Swarm Launchers. Also other players might/will be impacted because of lag differences. However more likely they will get a bunch of easy opponents who act as if they are in molasses. Eve you set your radius, queue your guns and for the most part lag isn't required as it isn't a twitch fest. I'm used to dying hence the corp name, but at least I try and make it entertaining for the other guy. Not One Lifetime

Not to mention that lots of suggestions have already been made on how to deal with farming (no wps for actions taken within the red zone for example), and nothing has been implemented, save for a idle timer that is easily overcome. I think you dodged a bullet not making it to the CPM Jackal. Do you really want to deal with a company that literally punishes an entire region of players because of what a another group of players do? This is how you rebuild trust CCP? Really? The bad reputation you are continuing to build will follow you to Legion.

I'm more concerned that despite repeated attempts, I still have no word from them on what I can bring to EVE Down Under this year to promote DUST // Legion. I keep getting put off, or directed to someone else who I don't have contact info for. (Subsequently told that the persn I am contacting will contact them on my behalf,, but never seeing any actual indication that this is happening). Punishing an entire region is one thing, being completely unwilling (and to be honest, dead set) on shooting themselves in the foot when one of the last few advocates for their cause in Australia is desperately trying to drum up support is beyond a flipping joke.

This wont stop farming not by a long shot. So making those oceania server people who do play there suffer is just a waste of time and you are gonna lose more players im guessing because of this. Not like it really matters with the way the game has been really buggy of late im thinking everyone should just stop playing and go afk until you fix the bugs and glitches in your currently crappy game. I let my sniper rifle bullet to your face do all the talking :P

Thank you for your understanding, -DUST 514 Development Team Yeah, I am calling a big, fat SHENANIGANS on this post!! Being a US player that has only been around for ~55 days, after I read this post yesterday (07/26) at ~17:00 EVE time, I decided to check out Oceania to see what it was all about before it disappeared. I was thinking that if it really was as desolated as people said it was, then maybe I could use that to my advantage and stroll around the maps learning any intricacies for later play. I logged into Dust and set my server option to Oceania at ~04:00 EVE time and played until 07:00 EVE time on the 27th. This works out to be 23:00 on 07/26 to 02:00 on 07/27 CST (my time zone). I went to bed afterwards and got back up and logged into Dust 5 1/2 hours later. At ~12:30 EVE time, which is 07:30 my time and past the 11:00 to 11:30 daily downtime, I was going to move my server option back to automatic when I noticed that Oceania is no longer listed as an option! What?!?!?! It's NOT the 28th yet!!! Just look when I posted this! Please explain or else I'll continue to yell... SHENANIGANS, I tells you!!! SHENANIGANS!!! SHENANIGANS!!!

Be one shard with Eve but on distributed servers with an Oceania one. I'd also like to launch Eve and then fly a frigate, do PI and then side launch a Legion game. But that is wishful thinking.

We were lied to at fanfest, and now we're being lied to again. This isn't about the players, don't try to shift the blame. If you really wanted to you could permaban everyone who is afk farming in oceania. This is about declining player activity (incidentally a problem that was caused by certain individuals within CCP at fanfest) and money.

What?!?!?! It's NOT the 28th yet!!! Just look when I posted this! Please explain or else I'll continue to yell... SHENANIGANS, I tells you!!! SHENANIGANS!!! SHENANIGANS!!! Hey, at least you got to try a brief taste of, what so many other players will no longer have access to. ....tears, it was a NICE place to play. A nice place. You had a brief privilage...

Perma-setting everyone to Automatic is a horrid idea. Its because of people like YOU dust was ruined. YOU cause the lag! Now go stand in the corner. Play on your own server!

I do fine on all the servers. All of them. CCP, I thought I was going to start liking you again. I really did. Then you announced this event.

Maybe you lazy bastards down under should get some better internet connections? I do fine on all the servers. All of them. Educate yourself on this thing called latency. I get 250-300ms pings most of the time to US & EU servers. That's not because I have a bad connection, that's because I have 10,000kms to the server, not 1,000-3,000. Latency is unavoidable. This means that a good down under player seems like an average US/EU player due to the latency difference.

Just who was this 'well intentioned' for just out of curiosity? Those of us who played on the Oceanic Servers are not as deserving to have AFK-free matches as everyone else? Declaring any server an 'AFK' server is just poor form for the native inhabitants of said server. People did play on Oceanic servers, and not AFK there. Darth Jackal
