Australian Network

[Ben3]

Hey there!

I'm here today to see how much interest among Australian players there is about an Australian based network. I've looked around a bit, and I haven't found many, or any, larger networks, other than MCGamer. That being said, there are quite a few smaller servers running one gamemode, but I'd be looking at starting a network, something with multiple servers / gamemodes. Currently, the server would be launched with the following gamemodes;

-Factions
-Towny
-Skyblock
-Prison
-Creative
-Vault

Now, money is no real barrier for me, so I'd be looking to get the whole server perfect over the course of a couple months - bring in developers and builders and other people to sort everything out perfectly.

That being said, if you're an Australian / New Zealand player, or you live somewhere incredibly close to either of these countries, let me know if you'd play on the network, and what you guys think about the whole idea.

Thanks,
Ben.

I personally dislike any Aussie servers, are they are incredibly laggy.

I live in South East Asia, and my ping to these servers are around 300-400 ms, imagine users who want to join that live in America.

Imo, if they're American and want to join, they'll have to put up with the ping. Players from New Zealand and Australia get under 100ms, which is who they're aimed at mostly.

au.minecorner.com exists, although it is more unique rather than just towny / factions

it's not directed at Asian / American users, as it is an Australian network. I'd just like to point that out.

there are many Aussie servers and networks, just look for them on PMC

I think it's a great idea because now only Badlion supports it am I right?

Eh, I'm talking not small ones people start when they're 13 or something. I know there is more than I originally listed, but I wasn't going to list them all, I'm pointing out that there aren't many larger Australian networks.

the reason is because there is a much smaller playerbase in australia, out of 20 players who join your server maybe 3 will be aussies. Ive had aussie networks up before and IRL friends with the number 1 RPG server in australia. And even they only get about 20PB. not high enough for a network, I like your idea it just wont work and you will waste your money unless you are in the top 10 in your gamemode for australia

I see your point. I'll look into advertising options though, possibly even get an au.domain.com and us.domain.com, so I can please both. Thanks for your input!

Used to be a server called epicraft. Which was generic for Australian players. Had to close down due to many people leaving just to play on popular ones

Alright, sounds tough. Cheers![DOUBLEPOST=1459597248][/DOUBLEPOST]

this is a good idea for you if you can get some good au advertisment and i would also request some really good proxies so u can still have players from eu and na

I'd have a large budget for advertising if I was to start it up. I'll look into it. Cheers!

Yes I do know that, however, I know for a fact that there are aussie networks out there already. What will make yours better than theirs? Think to yourself, don't bother replying as I don't really care about this network.

If you don't care, why are you still here on the thread?
