South African/African server

Please, for the love of all things beautiful. Add a server that is either on the African continent or in South Africa itself. This game is epic, but the PING is ridiculous, with the lowest being 170 ...

@_Ma3stro_ZA I know man, and that's only the people back then that wanted to play it and actually participated in the petition. I bet it's a lot more than that now. All I meant was that the games that have local servers usually do well, so I don't see why we can't have one for Apex, but we've asked so many times I doubt that by some miracle it will happen.

Good day,
I really hope that this email reaches someone, as it is an email of desperation.
I am nobody, and just a single one person just trying to make a difference.If i don't take this chance, and send this email, i will never know if i could make a difference or what the outcome would have been.
My email today is about Apex Legends, it is not a complaint, but rather a kind request out of desperation.
We have been playing Apex Legends for some time now, since its release in 2019, we love the game, we love the way it is developed and is still to be developed over the years, as it has shown such great promise.
But we are unable to enjoy the game to its fullest extent as we struggle with high latency.
We are a community of gamers in South Africa. but we don't have any local servers to connect to, thus meaning we have to connect to servers abroad. - we get high latency 180 - 220ms ping- this does not allow us to be able to enjoy the game
My email is about a request for Local servers in South Africa, Cape Town or Johannesburg,- please have a look or something about putting in servers in these regions in South Africa- we have 10's of thousands of people who play Apex Legends, and thousands more who want to play, but they don't want to due to the high latency.- there will be a massive increase in player databases if these servers are implemented.- and confident also increase in, in game sales as well,
We just want to also enjoy the game, it's been 3 years since the launch, and we just want to enjoy it as well.- connecting to the other servers such as London, Belgium, Amsterdam, Singapore is the only way we can play the game, but at the same time it is putting you at a disadvantage, as you are playing on a higher ping.- competing with other players that are on 40ms compared to 180 or 200ms is not possible, and can get frustrating at times.- we spend loads of money in the stores, buying packs or skins etc, but you can't really enjoy that if you are playing on servers you have high ping.
We have great infrastucture, Fibre, Data Centres etc.- we already have other major games that are hosted locally, such as CSGO, Call of Duty and others.
i cannot explain the love that we have for gaming in South Africa, and to add Apex to that will grow the community even more.
I really just hope this email reaches someone who can try to make a difference in our gaming community.
Please, I ask you kindly, please implement and install Local Apex Servers in the South Africa region.
We even have a petition with over 20 000 people who have signed it, however people have started losing hope.- Forums full of gamers wanting local servers in South Africa.
If you have received this email and you have read it, thank you for your valuable time.
Thank you
