The early lack of Oceanic and Asian servers led some players to get creative and find their own method around it, using BioWare’s own system to their advantage.

Many MMOs have unofficial servers for regions and rulesets, but pulling them together can take an incredible amount of work and still end up halfway done. However, Oceanic and Asian players wanted to make sure that they all rolled on the same server right on launch day, so guilds began to get in with each other and use place to call home.

The story of Swiftsure as a temporary refugee camp for these players is coming to a close, as is officially launching overseas on March 1st — and the population will be offered a free transfer to the new servers. Still, it goes to show you just how inventive players can get.
