Contact NCSOFT for any tickets, support at. Fellow Aussie here (Also from Melbourne). Firstly there are no Australian servers available ( and unfortunately there never will be).If you’re looking for the server or version with the best ping, you’d be looking at playing on either the Korean server ( about 80ms) or the Japanese sever (100ish ms). However in both cases they really aren’t practical for us due to the language barrier and account activation requirements.

Between the European and the NA versions, you’ll still be looking at very high ping if you don’t use a VPN service like WTFast. For Eu I get 450ish ms without a vpn and 236ms with wtfast. For NA I get 380ishms without a VPN and 197ms with wtfast so I ended up playing on NA due to no language barrier and better ping. There’s also the Taiwan version you could try but tbh I don’t know what the English community is like there now as I haven’t played it in a while now ( 130ms with wtfast btw last time I did).
I’d honestly recommend trying the NA version to see if you like the game. But keep in mind that without a VPN service you will have a less than enjoyable experience. As far as advice for a new player, focus mainly on the main story as it will give you most of your starting gear and do purple quests as they come ( ignore the blue quests). There's no way you'll get 80 ms to Korea. As a fellow Melbournian, I know first-hand the best latency you'll get to Korea is 170 ms.
You'll get 135 ms to Japan, and 200+ ms to North America. This is with a proxy/tunneling/VPN service.If you want to play with the lowest latency, then you'll have to compromise by playing on the Japanese server.Another pro besides latency, is avoiding NA/EU's toxic community.However, you'll have to decide if having the lowest latency outweighs the below cons.
Language Barrier. Low Server Population (. NCWest's Quality of Life (QoL) Changes for NA/EU:.Weapon gems are easier to acquire, via 'Hongmoon Gem Powder' exchange as well as 'Solar Energy'.Soul Badges are easier to acquire, via 'Solar Energy' exchange.Better Premium Membership benefits.Their Soul implementation is fairer and easier to level, while Japan it's totally a P2W item.
As the needed material 'Sacred Oil' is given out during events. Japan only recently addressed this with the introduction Earth Root Crystals. However, on Japan you'd have to spend a lot more time/money to get an equivalent soul. Sacred Oil can also be transmuted, and it doesn't fail like it's Japanese counterpart.Legendary accessories are easier to acquire, via the 'Draken/Hellion Core' exchange system. They also are already at stage 1, skipping the initial upgrade cost.Legendary Jewels/Elements now only cost 10g and 5 regular Jewels/Elements. While on Japan it costs 20g.Weapons are easier to level, with several gold/material reductions and alternate weapon paths.You're rewarded with your classes Midnight Skypetal Plains/Sacred Longgui Soul Shield set upon completing Act 8 of the main quest. As well as the first 3 Black Tower/Skybreak Spire Soul Shield pieces.You're rewarded with a 'Solak Soul' (19 AP), for completing 'Chapter 1: The Journey West'.
It can be upgraded into a 'Hongmoon Energy Stage 4' Soul.Midnight Skypetal Plains/Sacred Longgui Soul Shield chests no longer require 'Sacred Longgui Keys' to unlock.Yukson (Naksun) on the 15th floor of Mushin's Tower, drops a guaranteed Moonstone Crystal. While Japan he doesn't drop them at all.You can choose from a selection of 9 daily quests, that can be completed towards the Daily Challenge.Transcendence Engine drop rate from Irontech Forge has been increased. The game is really fun. Been playing on NA for 1.5years with semi high ping. I'm on the Yura server (Used to be Taewong or something which was recommended to me by my NZ friend.) I have 390 ms (in the game) and I can do most low level dungeons in the game.
It doesn't bother me that I can't do top tier things since I still enjoy what I do (plus I have a very social clan.)Just give the game a go and see how you like it. If you feel like you want better ping you can always try a ping booster.
