Runes of magic does have "dedicated" australian server?

I just started playing this game because I heard it has Aussie servers. When I was in-game I pressed Ctrl + X to see my fps, ID and ping. I thought my ping would be low because RoM says that they have an actual Aussie servers but when I checked my ping was ridiculously high 250ping about. I know it's not my internet because I have low ping on other MMOs with Aussie servers. So this "australian server" Thalia is just named "for Australia" but the server is actually situated in US, am I correct?

Thanks guys

Yes.

It has been moved from Australia to Florida,USA roughly a year ago and is now next to the other US servers.

Yeah for some reason they put the server in the US.. ROM logic.

As an Australian player I'd strongly suggest creating a toon on one of the US servers, ping is the same but you will have a player base.
The Au player base jumped ship not long after the server was ninja moved one night after maintenance.

There are still players on the AU server but our numbers are small and really only three active guilds. The 6pm (AEST) siege is probably the most active and when you will find most players around.

We're there, we help one another out and we will help new players where and when we can (just don't ask for power leveling).
