Sorta related, Guam is a good place for game servers to have similar pings for Asia, Oceania and USA (sorta)
It’s 95ms from Melbourne, AU, 110ms from Auckland, NZ and about 120ms from west coast US. Central US is probably about 150ms.
All of which are very close playable.
Living in Australia, as a teen FPS gamer it was always frustrating to know that no matter what tech comes next, the physical distance is the limiting factor.
So Guam is a cool workaround.
I used oneqode. Really easy, and affordable.
RA2 was my jam back in the day, migrating to RA3.
