Re: Move Middle East Server to India

@IGuruDevI i feel you , but removing that server again might increase the base from one side and decrease it from the other side because ME players was asking the same thing for a year now until Respawn gave them the server .
the reason you can not find player at sometimes is because of timing , there is no issue in finding casual match at anytime day or night but ranked is when you will not find players after 12 AM GMT+3 time , and honestly i don't agree with the request to move it to India because it's full of Indian and Pakistan players because don't forget that this server is basically for GCC countries like Bahrain ,Saudi Arabia , Qatar and Kuwait
and these countries are very multinational and most of the expats is Asians that's why you got that impression.
i have friends from India and Thailand and they never play on Bahrain server as it's high ping for them so they stay on Singapore servers

    You'd be better off with seperate data centres for the reasons stated above.

    When I visited kuwait/Oman a while back there was also quite a lot of pakistani/Indian/filipino people who had settled there so I mean you could be seeing people who actually live there also. 😛

    There certainly does need to be more data centres added though, creates a better playing environment for literally everyone.

    @maximas1986 what is a point of keep giving server where you take 15 to 20 minutes to get one match in day and night also. EA gave the server to GCC countries, they invited money but is not properly used. low player base in that area, they have to understand if it is full of Indian and Pakistan players then this server needs to shift. .this server is just for boost rank. players do teaming because they join in the same lobby because of the low player base and get easier in the same match. like I have 10 to 12 friends which are easily now in discord servers.

    @MandatoryIDtag you mean they are only Indian and Pakistani players player not native players of the middle east. come on, I know the middle east server is best for boost rank, 20 kills badge with their friends in one match because of very very low players base. one thing I know if I move to another country then i do not have time to play a game.

    @IGuruDevI  Naaah not all of them bud of course, that would be a silly suggestion,but a certain percentage.

    Like I said originally, a data centre is a must for both your region and the Bahrain region, it's not as simple as just "moving it" 😛.

    I was actually reading a pretty interesting bit of info on data centres the other day, i'll drop a link in incase you're interested. It might shed some light on the issue you've raised.

    @maximas1986Wrong info. Ping on SEA is higher than Bahrain(10-15 ms difference) for Indians, accompanied by packet loss issues and longer queue times. So everyone just sticks to SEA.

    as I know Amazon has a game lift server in India but not in Bahrain but EA gave server in that country where player base is very very low. it takes 20 to 30 minutes to find a match. I see only Indian and Pakistani players. if Indian plays on the Middle East server ( of course some get very low ping) then why not give one server in India, to reduce ping and packet loss. I just suggest that give one server in India for one season and check the player base. if you do not like them remove it.
