Server Location - EU - Paris Servers Offline?

Posting here instead of the NA forums.

Seeing the EU Paris Server Offline. Can only play on Amsterdam.

I wanted to know what happened to the Paris Overwatch servers. We have always played with around 158ms (170) in-game to the EU Paris servers from South Africa.

Amsterdam seems to be the only other location which somehow nets us with 162ms in testing, but in-game we are hitting 195, which is far worse than 170ms.

We noticed no matter what we do, we cannot connect to the Paris Servers, even if we use ExitLag to Paris directly. It does look like the servers are offline or decommissioned.

Are we finally getting better server locations? Or is this just down.

Paris server (CDG1) went a while ago, for ranked (might still be usable in workshop, no idea). We just get AMS1 (Amsterdam) and GEN1 (Finland) now.

Wish they would just keep on a West Coast EU server going. The latency from here is either 120 on MEA or 190 on Amsterdam, when it was like 168-170 on Paris which was a sweet spot.

Would be nice if there was another couple of options. But they are expensive.

Or bring back some way to choose again
