Please be the first to offer western Canadian server!!
Its 2025, the gaming industry is huge, yet gaming companies still make us settle for only US servers for all of north america. Ever since the start of dedicated server hosting, i have lost track of how many games have been good enough to spark my interest, only to later on infuriate me as they just arent fun when playing at a 50-70ms disadvantage. So every modern call of duty, every modern battlefield, PUBG, DayZ, Scum, apex legends, gta V, basically every decent multiplayer game for the last 10ish years.
I get that the existing server locations “work” for the majority of the player base in north america, but i dont feel im alone in feeling like there is no point in Canadians playing or buying these games anymore due to the frustrating disadvantage were are up against.
Why have so many US servers, and not a single one in Canada? Especially western Canada, where alot of the population isnt along the southern border like it is in eastern Canada. Edmonton has a large population of its own, and with a server placed there, could service all of northwestern, western, and central Canada so much better than the Seattle or Portland servers we’re forced to connect to now.
In summary, im just asking for a better gaming experience for a somewhat large portion of your playerbase, and am seriously hoping that maybe ea/dice will be the first ones to finally make gaming fairer and fun for those of us unfortunate enough to not be living next to the servers!
