Yes they are, NA servers are for the North American area.  It is in the name NA stands for North America.  Connecting to the NA server from anywhere else you should have known that you would not be a priority.  

NA servers stands for its physical location, the list of serviced countries explains who should connect to it. For your information even when the SEA server launched ( which was years after I began playing BDO) it was region locked against Australian and New Zealand players. So in reality you had to lie and use a vpn to actually enter. Also the ping to SEA is not any better for us and anecdotally is even worse due to horrendous routing issues.

Except as was cleatly stated by myself  there was NO SEA server when the game launched and as I preordered the game and was directed to play on NA/ EU servers that is exactly what I did. By the way I also play Elder Scrolls Online and that also only has NA/ EU servers for Oceania players. By extension that means that for both games I am playing exactly where I am supposed to be playing.

Right now there are games that are in KR with no worldwide servers.  If I join the KR server should I be able to demand that the KR server be closer to me, just because there is nothing near by where I am?

Correct but I am not demanding they be moved closer to me. It is the NA people demanding the server location changed so it is further away from me and closer to them, lol

It is slightlly selfish of me yes.  But WHY should the 6 people in ANZ area that actually play BDO force the hundreds of thousands of East Coast, Canadian, and Mid west players to have a worse ping.  6 players vs 100,000 players it is in their best interest to cater to the 100,000 when of those 100,000 are the most likely players to spend money.

Where did you pluck that number of 6 for Oceania and other non North America players connecting to  the servers?  I am sure that Pearl Abyss know the exact number but I assure you it is far more than you suggest. I am also not forcing anything. If Pearl Abyss decide to move the severs to central US I will just stop playing, end of story. I am not demaning anything. I am just giving you my perspective. Take that any way you like.

Bye then, you are right they have the numbers and you guys don't even registered enough to have your own servers.

Yal request is borderline dulisional

That's another point, and I guess we all totally understand your point of view. No irony, I'd even say there's nothing wrong in being "selfish" and welcoming these new servers if it means better conditions for you. 

We were simply fighting against the idea that players from ANZ were not supposed to be on NA servers. It's their server too, and PA decided to give them a big F with this decision. For business reasons, for sure, but it had to be said.

PA already proved they dont give a sh about the game, im from nz an been watching the priority system they have (it didnt seem to occur with kakao) means good luck other oce players the game will be unplayable. Since if the server gets any load your connection will drop. Even if it was possible to do siege at high latency your more likely to be booted. All because a specific company has terrible routing an people arent blaming terrible servers and the fact the routing to said servers for everyone is terrible.

If they are going to cuck OCE more at least let the remaining players play on SEA

Since it is obvious some NA players think PA will give them god send servers an not cheap out  on hardwarean not have terrible latency issues from a trash isp. /S

 Put load on their servers watch what happens. When you have trash hardware an using multiple servers( before you say each individual server is on a individual server look up how servers actually work)on said trash hardware   + having a terrible isp  that isnt optimzed for low latency applications things wont change. US players are on copium thinking things will change look at EU servers and SEA.  They work so well...  -_-

Or they could put all oce on SEA servers instead of J being a stubborn mule like he is with everything alse(even admitted it multiple times).  Instead his ego is so inflated because hes a ceo he dont gaf about anything outside KR .

Unless kr go mad he dont do jack example being the streamer that was banned.  If every  region outside kr quit an pa was losing major profits he still wouldnt gaf. Also i can say the server will still be trash once load hits them. Yous arent going to get a improvement as big as you have seen on global labs . All yous are seeing is what happens with best case scenario with the server.
