Region lock will not happen on console. Nor will a ping lock.

Just got off live chat with Sony. The agent said that their is nothing in Son’y TOS that would prevent ping locks being placed upon PS4 rented servers. That is entirely controlled by Dice/EA, he said.

I have the chat saved but I honestly do not have time to figure out why I cannot post it here. Already late to work,..I will try again in a bit.

EA/DICE dont offer ping locks for servers they rent.

On PC its 3rd parties who offer that to players who rent a server with them.

Which brings up 2 questions

1)could they if they wanted to?
2) if they can why don’t they?

1 they can do it if they want to if its true SONY has no restrictions whatsoever which i doubt TBH.

2 Simply put it will bring extra cost.

they would most likely need more servers in more places depending on what the ping lock values will be.
the lower the value the more never needed simply speaking.

I was referring to private servers. Sorry for the confusion.

same thing.

they would have to offer private servers in more countries if they let say set the ping block value at 50 MS.

unless they plan on favoring only a few countries by only giving them this option lol.
