The Oceanic home for WARDOGS
I'm an official OCE DOGS partner. If you join through my link, I get credit for bringing you in. It costs you nothing.
OCE DOGS is a fan-run community hub for WARDOGS players in Australia and New Zealand. It runs a live King-of-the-Hill server in Sydney, a forum, clans, leaderboards, tournaments and a stats database, and it's free to join.
It is made by fans, not by the game's makers: OCE DOGS is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, BULKHEAD Interactive or Team17. Server costs are covered by voluntary Patreon donations — there's no paid membership.
What's on the site:
You sign up with Discord or Steam. Linking Steam tracks your kills, XP and rank; OCE DOGS only reads that progress and says it never changes anything in-game. No ad trackers.
Joining through my link credits me as the person who brought you in. You get exactly the same OCE DOGS as everyone else — same server, same forum, same free account — and I get a number next to my name on their streamer page.
That number is how OCE DOGS knows which streamers are actually sending Aussie and Kiwi players their way, and it's how this partnership stays worth their while. If you were going to join anyway, join through the link.
Takes about three minutes. The link below is the one that credits PapaKow.
Hit Join below. It goes to ocedogs.com/r/papakow, which says "PAPAKOW invited you to OCE DOGS" so you know it worked.
Create an account, or sign in if you already have one — existing members who sign in through the link count for me too. Link Steam if you want your kills, XP and rank tracked.
Open Live Server, hit Join Server or copy the join ID into WARDOGS, and jump on OCE DOGS #1 (KOTH, Sydney). Then say g'day in their Discord.
Two ways. Seed the server: stay on for 5 minutes or more while it has fewer than 20 players and you earn a 3-day reserved-slot whitelist. Back the server on Patreon: supporters on the qualifying tiers (with Steam linked) get a permanent reserved slot.
A reserved slot means you can join even when the server is full.
Yes. OCE DOGS has no paid membership — signing up, the forum, the clans, the stats database and the server are all free. The server's running costs are covered by voluntary Patreon donations, and Patreon supporters on qualifying tiers get a permanent reserved slot as a thank-you.
No. OCE DOGS is a fan-made community for Oceanic (Australia and New Zealand) WARDOGS players. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, BULKHEAD Interactive or Team17, who develop and publish WARDOGS.
Yes. OCE DOGS runs a community King-of-the-Hill server in Sydney (OCE DOGS #1 · KOTH) with a live status page and match feed. For the full picture on WARDOGS in Oceania — official servers, ping and what to expect — see PapaKow's guide at papakow.com/oce/wardogs-oce-servers.
Either seed it or back it. Stay on the server for 5+ minutes while it has under 20 players and you earn a 3-day reserved-slot whitelist. Patreon supporters on qualifying tiers (with Steam linked) get a permanent reserved slot. A reserved slot lets you join when the server is full.
You need one of them to sign in — OCE DOGS accounts are made with Discord or Steam. Linking Steam is what tracks your kills, XP and rank; OCE DOGS shows that progress read-only and never changes anything in the game.
Honestly: nothing extra. You get the same free OCE DOGS account as anyone else. What the link does is credit PapaKow for bringing you in, which is how OCE DOGS measures its streamer partners. It costs you nothing.
A live Sydney KOTH server with status and match feed, a forum (tactics, clips, guides, patch notes, LFG), clans with XP and win-rate rankings, global leaderboards, tournaments, ladders, events and challenges, friends and DMs, a database (interactive maps, weapon and vehicle stats, compare items, TTK calculator, economy, loadouts, tier list, marketplace, loot drops) and a season pass tracker.
