Please Read: This is a petition for an Australian District, not an Australian Server!!
Greetings all, in particular Australians. I come here today in the hopes to get the ball rolling for an Australian district to be added in the European servers. Like all Aussies I have been playing with a large community of people in Europe (mostly england), and while I still enjoy meeting people in this part of the world, I would like to play more with peeps in my time zone. Some of you may say "join an Australian guild then" and that is true, I could choose to leave my English based guild that I have been apart of for 1 year as of 5th December. However I don't want to limit my access to all the great people I have met and will continue to meet.
Basicly its a time zone thing, we share a server with people that would mostly be asleep while we are awake. Adding a district for us would be a tidy way to keep the aussie community playing and expanding the game in a possitive direction. As a lot of you will notice in the Euro servers they have districs for Italy, France, Germany, even Spain. Australia is a large country with a large player base for GW, so it's not like there isn't enough of us to make it worth while. Also the great thing about having a district rather then a whole new server would mean we can still play with our European friends as we choose, just a click on the change districts button, and its done.
Australia is a close community, we enjoy Guild Wars and the experiences it provides, and this district would be a neat way of strengthening this game community. If anyone for Anet is out there, please listen to us Australians. We are a part of this game just as much as any other country.

I'm not Australian, but if everyone else gets a district, why can't they?

Maybe if we had our own districts it would stop the mass exodus of aussies to american servers.
Our euro server is pretty screwed all round anyway, you only see english being spoken 50% of the time in english districts. :/

I like being on the US servers, 1000 Aussie's playing at 7pm divide that between 3 chapters. No thanks.

@Jodie O - How do you know about the 1000 australians? Even if it was true it's not fair that we cannot have our own district!
You can always play on the district you like, so why are you tinking only about yourself!

You have the queen on your money... use England's districts :P
In all seriousness I think that the effort could be used for something alot more useful... like upgrading storage (cough cough). Furthermore, stuff like this will just get everyone wanting a district. It serves no real purpose.
EDIT: Not to mention that making more districts will just spread the people out further, and the game already sucks enough on the people aspect.

You say that people would be sleeping while you "aussies" are playing right? Well if there's an Australian district thingy, everybody will still be asleep while you're playing. I don't think there'll be much of a difference if any at all will happen if an Australian district came out.

@ Angelica - How do you know it's not 600 people on at 7pm? Silly me.
So are we just talking about an Australian server or how about some of these countries, I'm sure they would like a country based server too.
South Africa, New Zealand, Indonesia, Vietnam, England, Canada, Russia, Brazil, Thailand, Germany, France, Spain, Greece, Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, India. etc etc
You get my point.
Why do you think it's FAIR that Australia gets a server before any of the above mentioned countries do. What makes us so special? I'm being deadly serious, anet might be reading this.
As for "tinking" about myself, its a petition. Everyone has the right to have a say, just because my view isn't shared by you, it doesn't mean that I can't say that I think a small population base of players aka Australians, is a bad basis for a new server and just because you say it's unfair.
K now it's your turn, rant at me
Go you good thing!

I think people have missed my point. I am not saying we be locked into our own district. I have English friends that I love to play with. My gripe is making a "neat and tidy" area for aussies. We do have a large fan base, I know this from sales of all three chapters being sold at EB's around the country (not including the other various game stores that sells it).
Spain has there own district!!!

Ok 2 things; One slightly small, the other really stupid!
The OP is talking about a District..... See that people!
A district, a single section of a town/outpost for Australians. LA normally has about 3 dist's, Dist 1 being spam central.
NOT A SERVER, that's for all the idiots who can't read to know the topic of the conversation.
Australia is defaulted to the euro server because our packs, products and support are located and shipped from the Euro offices.
It's a matter of business and cost.
80% of all Aussies I know, and same for New Zealanders, have jumped servers to the North American one.
English is spoken and the timezone isnt such a hassel.

Arrogant much, I see Australian guilds taking favour all the time, TTA,LAW, AUST...
Sadly I'm not going to cast a say on the petion, I'm a NA server member and I like it.

Only because it'll give the Aussies one less thing to moan about when the lads return to England, still with the Ashes in their possession.

May as well separate the nutters from every1 else. My understanding of the districts is that they are language based rather than country based. Tbh if you're not going to meet any Australians wandering around the English district how will it be any different with an Australian District? And do people expect Australians to move from the American server to the European one becasue of a new district?.

Australians speak English, they are fine in American or English districts. Time zone doesn't make a difference, because any Australians should be in that district, already. Having an Australian district just separates them and they will have less people to play with.
If they add a district it should be a Dutch one, because all the Dutch people speak Dutch in the English district and it's annoying. There are many many Dutch players, and it has been suggested before.

Once you have logged in to your account, click edit account. One of the options is to change the Territory, That will change you from the European server to the North American server.
Becareful, you can only change Territories a limited number of times. And then your stuck.
or untill you buy the next chapter, when you given another chance to change

I'm an Aussie but I don't think there are enough Aussies playing GW to warrant having a separate server. But if the numbers are there then do it.

Im Australian and I dont care, so what if we have our own dist? Id still be in the american ones because thats where all the people are, I moved out of European dists because they didnt have enough people.
Most Australians dont play during my hours anyway, I play at 11 at night, most Australian players are asleep by then.

Oh no....not this again.... well at least it isnt on the general discussion.
Anyways good luck on the Petition. GOOOoooo OZZZZ(s)
Edit: btw does the Brits have their own district as well? never been the EU server long enough to find out. If they dont, then i suppose its hard to justifty for one for the OZ(s) and NZ.

There are English, French, German, Spanish and Italian districts on Euro servers.

OP... just to ensure that people read your post. Can you edit it and add this in please^^? (Include bold inserts)
Please Read: This is a petition for an Australian District, not an Australian Server!!
There are two problems with this idea however:
1. Regardless of what Roshi says, Both America and Australia speak English. The reason that would warrant Australians the ability to have their own distance is because of their long distance away from America/Europe
2. Australasians are already split across both America and Europe. To reduce lag and have the ability to interact with a bit more people, Aussies transfer from Europe. What will likely happen if Anet see this thread, is that they'll put the district onto the Eurpean server, because... by default...erm... we're under the commonwealth???
Renaming this thread to Australasia would be better. I'm from NZ, and as much as I *cough* love *cough* Australia, well...

lol now im curious. can someone post a screenie on teh diff dist (as in the drag down bar on the upper left) in Euro server
cause all we have in american server is:
Lion's Arch (district 1)
Lion's Arch (district 2)
Lion's Arch (district 3)
etc etc
...
and OP i'd reckon changing to American server (how? its shown in the above post) would most likely change your experience..ta!
@terra Xin, not sure bout NZ but pretty sure there wont be any lag if you've a decent connection.

@ Sessior-
Fanbase? WE'RE A WHOLE FRIGGIN COUNTRY,a C-O-N-T-I-N-E-N-T NOT A CLUB!
A little respect please.
a) District and Server are 2 different things
b) If there was a DISTRICT i guarentee that Aussies would meet there
c) You dont even know what its like if youre not an Aussie, it gets rather lonely in a town in a euro server, and if we had an Australian district it would be a place we could meet.
d) Im sick to death of Poms moaning and poking fun at us over the Ashes
(we will win by the way )
also @ Rain Knight -
We only get a certain amount of time to travel between servers, we shouldnt need to use up one of those chances just make it easier to meet with fellow Aussies.
