Audition SEA, Redbana, EU, etc... ?

[aifhiewhfowebo]

Hello ! Does anyone know what's the difference between those "variants" of Audition? I mean, there are more versions of this game, or what? At the moment, I'm playing Audition EU, but what is/means Redbana, or SEA ... ? Please reply me if you have the answer !

Yep, these are other versions of the game for the corresponding region or country.
Differences between them are big in content (sometimes even music) they are getting from Korean 오디션 Club Audition - which is hosted by publisher Yedang Online! and producer T3 Entertainment.

Examples?
Vietnamese and South East-Asia Auditions have got Couple Garden already.
While Redbana U.S. and European Auditions will have to wait longer for that content.

Why is our version behind this content and music?
Hard question. Could be small amount of money paid for the content, or lack of it.
About music - withhate says it could be license agreement issues or something like this.

Unfortunately, that is why a lot of European players moved to Redbana...

But I didn't know that a player from Europe (who is using EU Audition) can choose another version, like Redbana (US, as you said)

As far as there are no region restrictions (like on Redbana U.S., South-East Asia and Alaplaya's servers)they can.
The only thing that could be frustrating is time-zone change.
If you'd like to try out Redbana's Tournament Server, that Alaplaya had long time ago, you would need to participate at around 00:00 (first, Beat-Up Tournament) of our time.. (GMT+1).
Difference between U.S. and Europe [GMT+1] is 6 hours.

*Note : No, I am not promoting Redbana U.S. server. I am just giving him full answers on his questions.

Oh, got it now ... But I didn't know that a player from Europe (who is using EU Audition) can choose another version, like Redbana (US, as you said) ... Anyway, thank you for you reply

You can, but you will have a fresh new start and you really should mind the time difference. Also with some servers you will have huge lags, because of the distance to the server.

The difference is, that they are all hosted by different Companies.

Audition EU has a big handicap which is the GEMA. Let's say for e.G u are a pub owner and want to play music in ur pub then u need to pay fee's to the GEMA, cos the music is licensed if it wouldn't be licensed u can play it. Basically you need to pay fee's whenever u want to share music with lotsa people.
That's why Alaplaya will never really be able to provide Chart Songs etc.

The american audition by Redbana has some popular songs and they are a bit ahead of the european audition, but there is no huge difference. A big minus is that they don't have many indefinite Cash stuff
And there aren't any lags on it just to clarify that. (referring to withhate)

Audition SEA (South east asia) is the most famous english server in my opinion.
They get popular chart songs a huge variety (kpop, american pop, jpop etc) and get the newest stuff from the korean audition really fast. Negativ is that it lags a bit. I have no problems playing Choreography, Beat UP etc. but if you play couple dance over 120+ bpm it starts to lag (skipping steps).

Actually I said "some servers" and actually you will have problems in redbana, when you play Beat Rush Battle Party Random (Double Beat lag and skipping moves), but you won't lag in normal games.
These lags are really annoying in Battle Partys.

Also they are not far ahead from us.
We had guitar mode before they got it.

And really? In Sea I find it almost impossible to play a Battle Party, because you lag like hell.
Also people don't like to talk there, that's really boring for me, because I play Audition and talk alot, while playing...
(Nevermind the huge Hacker Problem in SEA. Like when I asked for help with a Story, I didn't get because of the lag, they said: Hack it!)
But yes they have a lot of chart songs and K-Pop-music. Also they get new modes earlier than us.

When you want the newest modes, then you probably have to play korean Audition, but that's very hard to get, because you have to have a korean ID-Card. For Downloading you also need an account. I never played it, so I cannot tell you s.th. about the lags there.

---> withhate <--- got the point here and if she/he is right about "people don't like to talk there, that's really boring for me" because, when you play a game, you may use the chat too for talking to friends or other players . Moreover, if what withhate said is right (about the huge hacker problem), then I don't see where is the fun...? You hack for what? Points? The reason is not good enough, that's because you won't take more EXP or DEN if you have 2.000.000 points or, I don't know how many . Furthermore, if there is "huge-lag" in Battle Party, this means that I won't be able to play it at all (because of my PC) . I mean, I lag in Audition EU, so there in SEA I will lag like x2. Another thing is that you need to make a new account if you move on SEA, so you will lose everything you have on the alaplaya one.
In conclusion, I would like to say that there are not too many reasons to go on SEA, so you better enjoy Audition EU

[withhate]

The only reason I play SEA is for testing new modes, but they will come to EU, but later.
The only way I play Bana/SEA btw is with friends from Audition EU

Feel free to test all the other server, but there is at least no possibility to transfer your account there, so you NEED a new start.

im Play ayodance ( indonesia audition ) somany people play! somany channel, full channel... ofc diffrent language... and other country cant access that!

Btw man, the most friendly and funny audition is alaplaya ^^
Unfortunetelly they have some issues with 'song license' , so they can't use pop songs, etc etc (well i think so)
anyways i believe theres a day they will be able to make audi eu better ^^
