South African Servers/High Latency

Hi! Why can’t us South African players get a server? There’s a big community here for the game but we get 200-230 ping, which is quite difficult to play with considering every zone is a server switch which spikes my ping to 400 then back down to 200-230 and also considering a “solo” dungeon experience is always online is just unplayable sometimes. Your competitor has a South African server for their ARPG(POE), why can’t Diablo 4 provide us with a server/s?

Specs:
200mb/s Fibre connection.
CAT 8 Cable connected to router.
(also using express VPN for less packet loss)
RTX 3080
I7-11700K
32GB DDR4

Agreed, we need some form of response.

Not fair that we pay same price for a different experience.

Especially considering the available hosting options this side (And no, loadshedding won’t be an issue, these centers were the first companies to prepare for loadshedding). 99.9% up time - just like any other providers.

I suggest adding your thoughts to the other threads about this. Also Reddit.
