Server providers for South-Africa

It finally happened boys

Have anyone been able to create an instance in South Africa? I have tried creating new instances but they all end up in Frankfurt.

I am so excited for this - cant wait to see how it progresses!

This is great news. Would be great to play in a low ping environment. Can't wait to get more updates on this.

I am so excited!

So Keen, i've been waiting for years for this :)

Isn't it like 50ms ping from North Africa to Milan?

Nope, from my understanding the routing takes it out to sea in the south west of Africa, then heads up to London before heading into Europe, don't know the infrastructure in SA or ho many hops it has to go through to get on to the main line but it dose add up to about 200ms

Lets hope this sticks,

Having Perma SA servers will be great as it eliminates so many issues for us like routing issues from ISP's etc,

keep your expectations low, Brazilians thought like that too, but their internet over there is shit and keeps causing them connection problems, to the point that they moved the original server location elsewhere and while it solved some peoples problems it caused other people new problems.
