Edit:

We have applied another fix for the latency spikes, and it's looking good so far. We will continue to monitor the stability, please let us know if you have further problems.



Hi guys, we are ready to do a (hidden) public test of our new Australian gateway.



If you are in the Australia or NZ region, we want to know what your experiences are like playing on this server. Please play there and report back in this thread if you experience any problems.



If the test is a success, we will add more servers and officially support the Australian gateway!



This gateway currently consists of 1 server only, so it can get easily full. If this happens, you may not be able to join new areas.



To try it out type "Australia" in the gateway box and log in as normal.



FAQ:



Can I play with players on other gateways?



Yes. This gateway works just like any other PoE gateway, which means that you can still play with players on other gateways, but if you choose to do so then you may get a higher ping while playing with those players.



Can I play with my existing characters?



Yes. Your characters and items span across all PoE gateways, and this one is included.



Do I lose any progress I make on this server?



You will not. The Australia server is a test, but it is also a normal PoE gateway server meaning that all your characters and items are shared across the entire realm. Path of Exile - Lead Programmer Last edited by Thomas on May 18, 2013, 2:27:55 AM
