Greetings,

　　C9 Actionists.

　　（C9er们好！）

　　Due to consistent popular demand, we are finally opening a server for the Asian region.

　　（应玩家需求，我们最终开放亚洲服务器。）

　　To resolve the lag issues our players have been going through, we have come up with a solution, which is to divide the IP traffic into different regions. This will benefit both US and Asian players by reducing gameplay lag and improving ping connections. We will make continued efforts to create a better gaming environment, which includes planning for further regional server divisions.

　　（为了解决延迟问题，我们决定根据不同的地区划定进行IP分流，即组建亚洲服务器单独针对亚洲用户。这将会给美服及亚洲玩家带来好处，不仅改善了美服的延迟问题，亚洲的玩家（主要是棒子）也能有更好的游戏环境。我们也会继续努力创建一个和谐的游戏氛围，为广大棒子服务。）

　　We initially planned to provide all US server users with the option of choosing whether they would like to migrate to the SEA server or remain in the US server. However, during the planning process, we determined several factors that may cause issues in the future:

　　（我们最初计划为所有ip在亚洲，但是在美服玩的玩家提供一个选择，即是否愿意转移到亚洲服务器来。但是，这样做也有几个弊端。）

　　1. Our goal is to resolve the lag issue that users have been experiencing. If we allow Asian users to access the US server, and vice versa, users would most definitely still experience lag, especially during PvP.

　　（1、我们的目的是解决延迟问题。如果我们允许亚洲玩家进入美服，或者允许美服玩家进入亚服，那么延迟的问题依然存在，尤其是PVP延迟非常严重。）

　　2. We will implement the IP traffic division through IP restrictions. This means that we will be blocking Asian IP addresses from accessing the US server and vice versa. We thought of granting the IP addresses of users who wanted to remain in the US servers access by removing the restriction on the IP address that they have been using to connect to C9.

　　（2、我们将实施IP分流政策，这意味着亚洲ip不能进美服，美国ip不能进亚服。当然，如果有些玩家执意要留在美服，可以向我们申请IP放行。）

　　3. Users may have difficulty joining future events if we allow access to both servers. For example, consider that there may be a PvP event in the future that will pit the regional champions of each server against each other. Any Asian user who decides to remain on the US server will be un-eligible to participate should the mechanics require that the user should be a resident in the region corresponding to his/her character's server.

　　（3、如果不进行限制，玩家很难参加未来可能举办的活动。举个例子，未来我们要选出地区性的冠军，比如美服和亚服对战，那么常驻美服的亚洲玩家就不能用他在美服的角色参赛来对抗亚服选手。）

　　We understand that most of you have already established a friendships and small communities inside the game, and that it will be difficult to part with your online friends should they be located to a different region. However, we stand firm in our decision to migrate all Asian users as we believe that this would be for everyone's best interests in the long term. Also, we are sure that you will be able to form new bonds and friendships with users located in your same server region once the migration is complete.

　　（我们可以想到，大部分在美服的玩家已经有了自己的朋友圈子，一下子转到亚服，新环境可能很难适应。但是我们相信，亚服是一个新的开始，我们确信，大家在这里能够找到共同的兴趣爱好，共同组建新的温馨的团队。）
