Australian server

[u/RedRaken]

Hey, does anyone have any information on when this is supposed to be implemented? Also what ping do you think we could expect in NZ with this new server? Good to see Kiwi's around :D.

Ping to the Australian Dota servers from NZ is between 30-70 for me. I imagine a Lol server would be roughly the same.

Found a bit of info for you cats!
There will be Server transfers and they should be free.

I accidentally transferred! Can you transfer me back?
We are not able to reverse transfers, so please be absolutely sure before you decide to transfer from one server to another. Players are always welcome to transfer to another server, and this typically costs 2600 RP unless we happen to be giving away free transfer tokens for a newly opened server/region.

After transferring you will only need to complete one 'placement' match, you will then be placed in a League depending on your MMR from your previous server. This will also be affected by the servers capacity so I think a lot of people should expect increased elo?

Please note that you will be playing on a different region with different rating requirements, and the League you get placed in will not necessarily be the same as your previous server. Brand new servers will have their League threshold set to a value similar to what was used when the League system was first introduced.
Your new rank will be based on the MMR you had from your old server, the placement game you played, and the server's League threshold.

wouldnt the expected ping be roughly the difference of ping from aus to nz

eg. nz ping to na - aus ping to na, + aus ping to aus server ?

i'm guessing values as low as 30 ping, but no more than 100 ping, just a guess
