Please add a Proxy server or region for Africa

Unfortunately, we are not looking to add any new regions at this time. More information about this can be found below:

Adding regions is a substantial cost in server hire, bandwidth (where applicable) and additional maintenance overhead on the staffing side. With our current region setup, we’ve split the world in 3 based and where possible, regions are hosted as close as possible to the biggest population centers.

Even at double our current player numbers, adding a new region will not be sustainable as it further splits the player base, even with region agnostic technology.

Finally, our current server provider does not offer any services in the entire African continent.

We’ll continue to evaluate our regions over time, but in the short terms, we have no plans for any additional regions or changes to the geographic location of our current hosting.

With that said, we may look into implementing more ‘local zones’ to improve the routing of connections for players who are far away from their nearest geographical region. You can learn more about this here.
