WoW shipments have been suspend to AUST

Keyboard Cowboy · 02-06-2005, 08:43 PM

I found this out from of my freinds that works high up in one of the game store franchises. (DON'T ASK.)

Due to bandwidth issue, Blizzard is putting a temperary halt on new shipments of Worlds Of Warcraft to Australia. They will continue ship time cards, and they are not suspending any accounts. But if you are after a new account, then you might have to need to look at ording this product directly from the states.

Blizzard what to "fix up a few things first", and then they will continue shipping new boxes of WoW.
(I am hoping that "fix up a few things first" means Local Australian Server)

I am not sure if this is happening in other place in the world or not. And I am not sure when shipments will continue.

The main problem from that I have heard that that WoW is taking up to much bandwidth going in and out of the australia. After all, we only have 2 magor internet connections to rest of the world. One going from syndey, the other from Perth.

I would be nice that we could get some asain pacific game servers. Like JAPAN as a STAR WARS GALAXIES SERVER, we don't.
And the problem is SOE has made the Japanese version of SWG different to the English one, therefore we can not connect to it.

We got our own Ragnarok Online Server.

It would be nice if Blizzard does set up a local server for WoW.
