Shift the Bahrain Server to Riyadh

I’m from Saudi Arabia and my friends are from Pakistan. We used to play on the Bahrain server, but now that it’s been shut down, they’ve been routed to India and Singapore servers while I’m routed to a Europe server. Whenever we party up, either they have to play in my region or I have to play in theirs, and the ping is constantly 150+. Still, I manage to take out a few players with sheer luck and an RPG. I’m not cheating—that’s just how it is. We’re just trying to have fun. Valorant moved their servers to India, so I don’t understand why DICE/EA won’t shift their Middle East server to Riyadh.

    "I fully support this. The current situation is a complete disaster for Middle Eastern players.

    While other giants like Riot Games (Valorant) have already moved their infrastructure to Riyadh to match the massive growth of the Saudi gaming market, EA/DICE decided to shut down Bahrain and leave us stranded.

    I’m playing from Saudi Arabia, and my friends are in Pakistan. We used to have a fair middle ground in Bahrain. Now, I’m forced onto Europe (150+ ping) while they are routed to Singapore. One of us is always playing at a massive disadvantage, relying on 'RPG luck' rather than skill.

    It’s time for EA to stop using outdated routing and move the regional hub to Riyadh. We aren't just 'customers'; we are one of your most active communities. Treat us with the same technical respect other titles do. #ShiftToRiyadh"
