I play this game regularly and one of the things I notice, and disrupts my game play the most
is the inconsistent blocking and the delayed trap damage.
Of course, this makes blocking almost impossible as damage is still inflicted on me.
even when I block 3 seconds before. This isn't the only problem. too many to mention.

this is a ping issue I know. And this makes the game almost unbearable to play because I loose all of my life before reaching the elevator.
Not to mention pvp. I tried that earlier and it was horrific. I didn't stand a chance.

Currently there are servers both in northern america and Europe.
Giving each player a choice of the two and none other.

However those servers are only suitable for half the player base.
Living in Australia means being a fair distance from the servers puts players like me at a huge disadvantage.
My friends experience the same issues, and no matter how hard we try, the odds are that we cannot react quick enough to keep up with the ping.

One of the keys to any game's success is making it accessible to everyone and the globalisation of your product.
that is not what is happening.

What is wrong? do you not consider Australia a gaming nation?

A server should be set somewhere down under to compensate. And not only would it serve us but most of Asia as well.
Opening the game to a wider audience and maximising profits. soon the server would pay for itself.

Please let me know if you are already considering this in advance. I need to know weather I should continue playing or just give up.
