Australian players are better off playing on Japan server
Blade And Soul Game
Fast paced action mmorpg like B&S and Dragon nest is never a good to play in high latency. Having played Dragon nest on 150ms I know that it makes the combat extremely shit, especially if the character is designed for chaining combos after combos.
In NA server people with NBN network of 150mbps above are getting 250ms with WTFast and 250+ without. Thus, I suggest all my fellow australians to play on the JP server if they want to play B&S. There is an english patch so you should not have much difficulty. Here is a vid showing how to download from JP server: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYfqNmqBVpg
if you google B&S JP english patch you should find quite a few.

Gameplay[edit]
Blade & Soul features a combination of martial arts inspired combat and qinggong in an open-world environment. Players create playable characters that explore around the world by completing quests assigned by various NPCs. The game uses a real-time battle system in the third person camera view and requires players to 'combo' a series of attacks, much like that of fighting games. According to NCSOFT, the game also features an innovative “Downed” mechanic, allowing players to recover from the brink of death. Players begin with “player-versus environment” (PvE) but may participate in “player-versus-player” (PvP) combat later in the game.[3]
Character Customization[edit]
According to the developers, Blade & Soul will provide a highly customizable system and it has been stated that NPCs in the game were made with the character customization system.[4] Customizations a player has access to include hair styles, facial structures, facial markings and makeup, eye color, height, and body sliders.
Races[edit]
Characters may be one of four playable races based on the Four Chinese Symbols: The Gon (based on the Azure Dragon), the Jin (based on the Black Tortoise), the Yun (based on the Vermillion Bird, also known as the Fenghuang), or the Lyn (based on the White Tiger).

In July 2011, Tencent gained publishing rights of Blade & Soul in China, and made its first appearance at ChinaJoy 2011.[5]Blade & Soul launched in China on November 23, 2013 with an open beta which seamlessly moved into official launch.
The second closed beta test took place from August 29 to September 10, 2011. During this event, the Assassin class was playable for the first time.
After an open beta test on June 21, 2012, with a record number of 150,000 players, NCSOFT confirmed that the official Korean Blade & Soul launch would commence on June 30, 2012.[6]
In 2013, HTK has stated that an English version of the game would indeed be released sometime in 2014 after the China commercial launch of the new Blade & Soul anime in Japan alongside Taiwan and Russia.[7]
