The truth is hard to swallow, but I have experience to deter me from playing on an all Malaysian/Singaporean server. Take mRO for example. I couldn't count how many inviduals I'd LOVE to track down, stake out their house and beat the shit out of them. From annoying ah bengs, to unrepentant kill-stealers, to ninja looters. They can ALL go to hell.

Do such people exist on NA WoW? Yeah, at a much, MUCH smaller percentage. I dare say my blood pressure is a LOT lower playing WoW when compared to my time on mRO.

No one's looking down on local gamers here. Whenever I met a Malaysian/Singaporean player on Lightbringer I'd go "omg wow, nice to meet you!" and would get chatty from there on. But let's get real here ; usually only tasteful Malaysians/Singaporeans play on NA server. Why? I've no idea. Could be the price, could be the foreign environment not conducive to "*** lei amma xxx xxx xxxx" type of ah bengs.

An local server with much reduced monthly fees WILL attract the unpleasant mRO crowd for the most part, whether you admit this or not.
