Re: Apex legends servers in south africa
@EA_Darko I think you misunderstood the poster, this isn't "connection issues", the problem is that the servers are located very far away - there are no close servers for South Africans to connect to.
I believe AWS and AZURE have datacenters in South Africa now and can locally host servers / services here. The poster is requesting that Apex Legends servers are hosted in South Africa as well, so that local players don't suffer the 200ms ping (it could serve lower Africa actually, and northern Africa could still use European Servers).
One note: I lived in South Africa for 28 years, and recently moved to Germany (~ 8months). The entire game changes of course, it's incredibly frustrating playing any competitive online game with ping so assuming it's trivial to boot up servers here (since AWS and AZURE are already used in other parts of the world for Apex Servers) this would be a huge leap for the local gamers of South Africa
