Mythic has just announced that they are planning for local Australian servers for Warhammer.

That's a smart move. There must be swarms of Aussies just waiting for a mass-market MMO that doesn't suck for lag. Warhammer could scoop up that entire country's supply of MMORPG gamers. The only MMO off-hand I can think of that has Aussie servers is Fury, but of course that's where that game was made.

Here in Canada, our pings can get bad enough using U.S. servers, so I can't even imagine how horrid it must be for Hawaii or Alaska, let alone Australia. You might as well be playing from the moon.
