The ping issue making us to quit CF!!!
I've been playing CF with my buddies from New Zealand and Australia since 2009, we had great time however the only server which we could get playable ping(140-180) was from the US West. We never had any hope that Z8 would open a decent server for us but Z8 u really let us down in the past few weeks. We are now all having 280+ ping and it's not even stable! As we can see there is very a few players remaining in US West server. I'm gaving the final hope to you Z8, please fix this ping issue before we all left the game. I promise you will loss hell lot of players and $$$ from US server cuz we are all serious players!
Last but not least I'm speaking for Boregasm a great great clan in US West server!! I'm maybe being naive but I'm so clear that I need to open my mouth and speak out loud for my right!!!!!!!
If anyone is reading this please give us support thank you!

It's not a simple as saying 'Sure! We'll do it tomorrow!' And plopping a server there unfortunately. There's licensing issues and such.
Also, not to be crude but, I honestly doubt the Australian and New Zealand market is bigger than the NA/UK regions the game was actually originally intended for. Which is probably also why they haven't jumped at the oppertunity to put servers there.
Just speculation of course. -
Not flaming you or anything, but 140-180 ping really? Why play at all? Well I guess your safe from being booted by other high pingers, but honestly why play? I run at 74 ping, and to me that high, seeing as how when I started playing my ping was a constant 48. I mean with your ping you must get irritated by people with half your ping or lower killing you, or even tanking your shots/swings? I'm not trying to be mean or anything but, this game is meant to be enjoyed and playing with such a high ping, must decrease the entertainment value alot? And now that your ping is well over 200 it must be frustrating as heck to play at all, please inform me with more information on your ability to play this game, because all the other high pingers I run into don't speak english, if you catch my drift...

@ MOD (this is for conversation purposes not to be a tool) even though UK/NA market is bigger those guys are still a market, and everybody has cf why not take the extra $$$? I understand that it is not as simple as just walking over and doing it, but I mean I bet z8 could turn a pretty penny off of them. Even for a little bit since they would be able to invite all their friends and other people would not have to deal with their lag.
@ topic starter: Although I would love to see you guys get your own server it is very doubtful it will happen anytime before South America gets one. (please do not turn this into a BR hate thread) If there is so many of you interested in this why not ban together and start your own CF there? -

Well usually its mostly about whether the cost < profit. After all licensing isn't free. Neither is running the game. From what I do see, there isn't that many Aussies or New Z's around playing CF from what I can tell. And I usually play quite a bit.
Not to mention the distance would be alot harder to manage, especially under Z8. Even the UK region was stretching it a bit.
Not saying that they won't at some point in time, but I kinda doubt it will 1) be our version, 2) not anytime soon. -
when you say be our version do you mean someone else will probably make a CF there?
Yeah.. It makes sence after all... The servers are terrible as it is and having 2 other countries or area's being covered by the same client could have major issues.
I'm still trying to wrap around the reason why we didn't IP ban br's if this client is CF NA/UK. I don't have anything against SA or CA but it's kinda dissapointing to see 120+ pingers in every single room I enter and not be able to have a random conversation because no one speaks english...
I know you guys recently purchased a license and whatever for SA or BR but would that also mean having to change the client name to
CF: NA/CA/SA/UK? Or will it hopefully be on a different client? -
when you say be our version do you mean someone else will probably make a CF there?
As noted by Katsuko_o there are multiple versions of CF around the world. (Yes, its much bigger than you think.) But its regional based. Most of them are restricted to those areas, much like ours is now.
So what I mean by that is, either a closer one will pick them up, or they will have a new one there themselves, which is much more likely than them being added to our servers.
But this is just my speculation. -

Agreed.
Id also like to point out that while server maintenance was being performed on the West Coast server, it was being rerouted to the Canadian servers. Thats explains your ping.
There are no plans for a server in AUS/NZ. No license means no server.
I would hardly say theyre letting you down. That would be like me going to a game made for Australians and saying you let me down because I get high ping on your servers when I know I shouldnt be playing on them.
If I had your ping, I wouldnt even bother playing CF
