I’m a Korean PVP user, but I’m playing PVE recently due to a problem with the terms of use of the official server.

Anyway, due to the latest update

Unable to connect via direct connection to official Oceania servers with a ping above 200.

current ping measures around 260, but as you know, it’s quite acceptable for a PVE server.

so, how about increasing the ping limit on the PVE servers or giving me a little adjustment period so we can move my characters?  
(or until the character transfer function is implemented again)

Adjusting the ping limit on official servers is fine, but I have my private server pretty tightly locked down.

I didn’t even realize you could bypass region and ping limits with direct connect, so I’m glad they closed that loophole and would prefer they not open it back up.

I am having the same issue, with the latest update my ping now shows up as too high even with direct connect to a PVE official server. Do we know if this issue is an intended feature going forwards or is this a bug of some sort? Hoping it is a bug as i would hate to lose all my progress on the official server i play on.

Decay is progressing.

Like you, I lose everything if I can’t connect to the server within a week.
