Isn't it like 50ms ping from North Africa to Milan?

Yeeeaaahhhh, but South Africa and northern Africa are somewhat far apart. Might take you a few minutes to walk from one side of Africa to the other.

I cant express my gratitude enough. Thank you GGG for even entertaining this idea

Thanks for the effort!

I've spun up some very limited testing in South Africa so we can explore the feasibility of some different options.

You can access this by typing SouthAfrica into the gateway selection box.

• There's only around 100 instances of capacity there currently.
• Don't expect it to be reliable - caveat emptor.
• We may take it down periodically or change things around.
• It's set to put new instances on Frankfurt when it's full or offline.
• This is very early/preliminary. Anything permanent (if this even happens) will be a while away, so temper your expectations.

Looks like its connecting to azure server in the US

I'll do my best to temper my expectations on timeframes. As a software developer I know there can be many challenges with launching on new environments (many variables). I'm grateful that there is an attempt in progress to get South Africa in line in terms of gameplay experience. In my circle of friends alone there are 12 POE players, so I do believe there's a strong following here. That being said GGG probably has all the stats.

Thanks for doing this. I hope it works out well.

Fantastic, I hope the test helps the path to stable SA servers

Praise GGG

Excellent :) I look forward to trying this out!

There's definitely routing issues on this server, going out via international and coming back.

Mind sharing the IP? via logs?


What we are seeing is they are using a server IP from US azure
