From here http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/q-a-answers-compilation-thread.32349/ For anyone who looks, this was 2 years ago so my guess is it won't be happening, not any time before the player base runs out. So it goes, the way of Hawken and Titanfall.
I played Hawken when them Aussie servers came. Only reason I stopped playing was that I wasnt a fan of the IP itself. Yeah its mechs and all that but I like mechwarror for that. If they bought Aussie servers for EC, id play it alot more but right now its hard to be really competitive in this game. Might play a game or two but mates get annoyed from the ping amd so will I and we just quit for another day.
Even with 300ping sometimes I still Top the score sheet. But I Never ever Melee. At 300ping the D bash never works.
