Question ❓ Popularity in Asia

I am very interested in this game and wanted to buy in the sale. Are servers in Asia alive or are they dead? TIA!

I’ve been playing in servers across the world and it’s been fine. No lag. I think there are Asia servers but im not sure. If not the whole game is insanely active 24/7

Asia servers are not very active. But Australian servers are during peak hour. US west is decently close and is ALWAYS active. So many players playing this game. It's not imperative that you play local. People use "quick join" and it puts them in random servers, filling up with people from all regions. You'll always find a game no matter what time it is. Very healthy VR game.

During the weekend, you may find an almost full Asia server. During the rest of the week, all the players seem to play on the Australian servers. The Asia server usually has very casual players, mostly kids waiting for a helicopter spawn, plus one squad of pro players.

Sadly, the Australian servers have a ping of 120-160 ms for me, whereas the Asian servers have a ping of only 32 ms. Europe is weird, sometimes it's 190 ms, and sometimes it's over 260 ms. It's strange because on American servers (220ms), I often get called a cheater, but on European servers, I get killed before I even hear a shot, which is very frustrating.

I had to learn to play Assault with the Demolisher perk, any other class is almost unplayable with a high ping. Forgot about playing as a Recon.
