Having played World of Tanks on the NA Region for over 10 Years, I know firsthand the challenges faced by South African players who struggle with high latency and connectivity issues. Over these ten years, the inability to move my account over to the EU region has left me and many others stuck without support from War Gaming. This leaves only one viable option: the creation of dedicated South African servers as part of a joint region with NA.

South African players make up a substantial portion of the NA Region’s player base, yet we endure continuous connectivity issues that hinder our gaming experience. We share a passion for this game and deserve to experience it at its fullest potential, free from the disruptions caused by geographical disadvantages.

The establishment of South African servers will not only enhance the gameplay for existing South African players but also encourage more players from surrounding regions to join, thereby expanding the community and improving queue times for everyone. Furthermore, it will reduce the frustration caused by lag and disconnects, leading to a more enjoyable and competitive environment.

According to recent data, South Africa's internet infrastructure has seen significant improvements with an increasing number of undersea cables, boosting overall internet speeds and reliability. This development supports the feasibility of hosting local servers and taps into an underserved market in the world of online gaming.
