Good news for Bioware fans in Australia and New Zealand.
I just hope your planning and implementation of the local servers works out. There are so many pitfalls to avoid on this one.
As has already been suggested, you should really label the 2 current unofficial Oceanic servers "The Harbringer" and "The Swiftsure" as Oceanic servers now, and when you bring the locally based servers online in 3 months time, you just transfer the databases with no need for messy character transfers etc. It would save you a lot of hassle.
