Activity and latency for Asian players

Hi. I hope this is an appropriate question, but I was just hoping to get some info before I buy the game =X

I was just wondering what the activity is like on the Southeast Asian and Australian servers. I've browsed the forums here and on steam and have gotten conflicting posts with some saying they're dead and others saying they're fine during primetime. I just wanted to know if one can usually find a decent game going in the evenings here nowadays. Are the SEA/Australian communities still active?

Also, are the US servers generally welcoming of ~200 ping players? Sometimes I've been lucky to find US west servers with around 150-190ms on other games. How does that sort of ping fare in this game? I know I play Planetside 2 everyday on a US West server with absolutely zero problems, but I realize there's alot more twitch involved in NS2. Is rubberbanding a huge problem? And is hit detection client-side or server-side? Have other Aussies/Asians... even Europeans been able to play decently on US servers?

Any input is appreciated. Been excited about the game for a while, but I'm just concerned whether I'll be able to enjoy it if I buy it. Thanks a bunch!
