    Technically, Runescape or at least OSRS has dedicated AU servers, and it is one of the biggest MMOs whether we like to admit it or not.

      Yeah and regulars on those servers are the same 20 people just like the greentext says, the rest are world hoppers who will be there only very temporarily

        AU servers are popping for maniacle monkeys and rock crabs.

        Seriously though, AU servers probably have the same amount of regulars that the less trafficked USA servers have. You see the same names at GE and other hot spots.

        OSRS is like the perfect game to play on high ping too. The game already has an inherent 0.6 delay without client prediction.

        I’ve got an Egyptian dude in my clan that’s probably got the worst Internet possible. Even EU servers for him can be 300+ ping. You kind of just build up an awareness of tick delay and it’s fine.
