    Hate to be the bad guy, but this is not going to happen, because this is not a server issue, it's an infrastructure one, SA should be getting 200ms max, the problem is not the distance but how the connections are being routed.

    I'm getting 176-190ms from Spain, and even Argentina is actually closer to the severs than my country, as you can see the problem resides in how poorly the ISPs are administrating the routing and infrastructures there, SE is not going to waste money on an issue that must be solved by someone else.

    With VPN we already get a bit over 200ms depending on location within SA. The 300ms+ is indeed bad routing, but 230ms with paid VPN is still irritating to play with, compared to the 120 I used to have.

    The thing is VPNs are virtual networks as the name says, these use the same infrastructures but with different protocols (and as i said it's routing and infrastructure), with some exceptons, but these are not used for gaming VPNs but as direct connections between research centers or some big companies.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not against a SA sever, i just can't see SE investing money on it, as they don't invest it in a Spanish localization.

    I also don't see it happening. I would much prefer the old location restored or a new east coast database. At least this would help the americans which are the majority and seem to be having lots of issues with this transfer as well. We need to help each other and voice and make noise so SE has to intervene.

    I don't think there's really anyone that wouldn't support better connection for people. I'd imagine if someone said they have a want for servers to be set up in every city in the world, no one would really be against it. For the same reason why they won't do that though, is likely going to be the same reason why an SA server is unlikely. I would certainly be pleasantly surprised however if their overall income from SA would justify the time, investment, and upkeep to do it.
