hosting ch in different region
As it appears the mabi servers are hosted by amazons aws now would it be possible to host one of the chs in the OCE area to allow players from that region to have a much lower ping making the game much nicer to play. maybe doing the same for another ch in the Europe area as well for those players.
As the NA version of the game is more or less the global version now and mabi is a ping dependent game doing this would improve game play for a lot of people
Im not asking for a full OCE or Europe server, just a ch or two

Has anyone here played World of Warcraft, I haven't, it's global right? Does it have the same, unequal ping problems too, or do they distribute their servers. If so do folks just stick to people of their own physical region then?
Or move the datacenter to Iceland, cheap rent, and EVERYONES ping is awful!
ever since the merge they stopped using their own physical servers and moved to AWS hosting. you can tell this easily by looking at the new IP'S they use in a who is look up. you can get the IP'S from the mabi wiki too
Edit : wouldn't cost anything extra ether unless they added more chs rather then just move a couple that they already have. even if they do add more chs this is a cost they could easily eat due to reforge and gacha sales
the idea of it "only being good for PvE" does make much sense ether as almost all content is PvE.
mabinogi was built for lower ping.
The way this would affect pvp would still be interesting. I'd like so see some of the big American pvpers try to pvp someone with Aussie lag. For the first time, we'd be able to properly test just how much ping affects pvp simply by having two people fight on different channels.
If you really want to meet people from other places, just cc. Americans can cc into the Oce channel and play in the lag like we have for the last 11 years.
A possible minor problem that might arise is people accidentally falling into the Oce channel and suddenly finding themselves unable to pull off certain combos or train certain skills. Which wouldn't really a problem as you could just cc back to your own region. Too bad that isn't an option for us currently.
I just want other people to lag like me for oncei mean sure some NA plays would have issues with trying to do raids on high ping on the other region chs but its something people can live to deal with since AUS, NZ and all Europe players have to deal with daily.
I think the best bet for nao would be
ch10 - asia pacific (Sydney) [aws ap-shoutheast-2]
ch9 - Europe (ether london or paris) [ether eu-west-2 or eu-west-3]
leave chs 8~1 in NA as most the player base is there
leave market (old housing ch) in NA
leave ch 20 (guild wars ch) in NA
Use VPN? Really?
having a ch in sydney would lower that down to the 20~50ms ping range.
Again im only asking for 1 or 2 chs in now not a whole server
also VPNs are against TOS due to them masking your ip just saying
if something like that will happen, the coomunity of Mabi will grow up. i will be able to lure some frineds to play it as well. people will be able to choose what server to run with their party. everyone will be able to do things the same - Dan tests, Generations, and more things that you normally solo.
for PVP - can make PVP, or kind of area that has cross-channels system.
i live in east Eutope side, my ping is around 200-220... the most problem for me some skills charge as magics, attack delay for some skills.. people will no reforge can attack faster than me, while i ahve reforges...
at some point, the players who will keep play will be from US only, and the community will
