As a passionate gamer, I often find myself at a disadvantage due to high ping rates. My internet connection is not the best, and I frequently play with 100 or more ping against players who have virtually zero ping. This uneven playing field is due to the lack of local servers in North Africa. The nearest server for most games is in Europe, which causes significant latency issues for us players here.

North Africa has a growing gaming community that deserves equal opportunities and conditions as gamers worldwide. According to Newzoo's Global Games Market Report 2020, there are over 377 million gamers in the Middle East and Africa region combined, contributing $5.4 billion to global game revenues.

The addition of local servers would significantly improve our gaming experience by reducing lag and ensuring fair competition among players globally. It would also demonstrate respect towards the diversity of the global gaming community by acknowledging that every player's experience matters.

We urge video game companies to consider our plea seriously and take steps towards implementing North African servers for their games. It's time we levelled up our gaming experience! Please sign this petition if you believe in fair play and equal opportunities for all gamers worldwide.
