John Smedley, CEO of the company, took to Twitter to reveal a handful of details about the game's launch, including that servers will begin first in North America and then Europe. A user pressed Smedley on whether Australian/Oceanic servers will be available, with the CEO responding that it's "going to be all about demand" on whether that happens. He did however note that SOE do have an Australian data centre, which currently facilitates the company's PlanetSide 2 local servers.
@redrumrhylee we're doing all hosting. It's going to be all about demand. We do have a data center down there.

See, dayz has two things going for it. BIGGER map, and an engine (as old as it is) that scales like crazy. if you were to turn on all the bells and whistles of the standalone, and set the visual range to 20 miles, not only would it bring most rigs to their knees, it also means you have one of the best looking games, which one day computers will be able to run ;) .
Being dayz is a military sim engine, you have far better and engaging ballistics also, which nearly all other games, not only zombie survival games, lack. H1Z1 is a shooter, not a sim, so yeah don't expect too much bullet drop. U think with the new additions this year, including a new renderer, new zombie A.I. and vehicles and such, dayz will be back on track to kick ass. I know H1z1 has just come out, but its far from a dayz killer. I am still waiting for the perfect blend of survival, first-person, zombie apoc sim. GIve me the zombie A.I. and hordes (and great looks) from Dead Rising 3...give me landscape and areas a few times larger than Dayz is now, give me the close combat take downs of zombies in the footage of say Dead Island 2. and we are starting to talk REAL zombie Apoc sim.... maybe one day hey lads....

Give it 5 years and we'll hopefully see that perfect game.
