True. I'm happy for the oceanic players but I wish they'd place servers for Asian countries too. US pings from the PH aren't bad but they're not amazing either.

You were right - at least it applied to my location. Being in the PH, my latency went up to 372-400ms (up from the 200 range). I'll probably try it again tomorrow but looks like I'll be back on the US servers. Same situation here.

Yes. I wasn't in the beta but I already watched videos about the opportunities the game (no ranked PvP matches, no LFG or similar feature, no dual-spec, clunky AH, etc) but I still went ahead and got it. I know they'll have these up eventually. The delivery of the story (voice feature) and the theme itself are still selling points to me. I do every little bit the game has to offer while leveling - warzones, space combat, socials, crafting, FPs, etc. I'm not the type rush all the way to 50 anyways. Before we hit the 6th month, I sincerely hope they have more MMO basics incorporated (like the stuff mentioned above). If it can't be exactly those things, maybe they can replace it with some things that are equally appealing.

I take my time leveling so I don't know how it's going to be like at higher levels but a multi-player aspect would be nice. I'm thinking of a PvP combat scenario - squadrons protecting a capital ship before it jumps while another group protects, etc.
