Middle eastern servers

General Discussion

Dear developers, we in the Middle-East do not enjoy your game Overwatch to our heart content. It is because you do not provide dedicated servers in our region. Please read this:

It is the lack of Middle-Eastern servers in our region. Sadly, Blizzard studio does not provide dedicated servers in Middle-East. It is because the hosting provider of your dedicated servers is Amazon Web Services (AWS) alongside your own Blizzard servers which both do not provide data centers in Middle-East. However, since you, and your provider do not have that option, you still can host Middle-Eastern servers by i3d(dot)net which happens to provide servers in Middle-East. It is worth mentioning that EA DICE and Psyonix studios use this hosting provider to host thier dedicated servers from, and thanks to that they were able to get us servers hosted in our region for their games Battlefield 1 and Rocket League. I understand that each game-publisher has its own hosting provider, but you should not neglect our community like that. Please make plans for it, we are really in need for regional servers. I hope you will listen to me. Thank you so much.

I play from Dubai on 140 ms ping to EU servers. Feelsbadman.

A few servers in Dubai, Cairo or Tel Aviv wouldn’t hurt anyone.

Hell, even Cyprus would be an improvement, if they feel like the region is too fickle for their liking.

And as far as I know, Valve already has them in the region - what gives Bliz ?
