Hello,

what does it take to open a middle east server and how many players do you need to open a new server for middle east, because in the middle east we suffer from high pings and we are above 400k players for sure so please let me know what do you need to open a server in the middle east area and i can help you get the number of players needed.

That's an interesting idea.

Just letting you know though, this board is for discussing Boards related matters; it might be better posting this in General Discussion!

Can't the Turkish server provide service to the whole mid-east? Please help me understand the situation. Why do players from the Arabian peninsula play on EUW with terrible ping instead of playing on the geographically nearer Turkish server? Is the Turkish server broken somehow? Are you restricted from playing on it?

What do you consider the middle east area? Where would the new server you want be put? Are you counting Turkish players in those 400k players you mentioned? Are you counting the Maghreb? The Maghreb is geographically closer to the EUW server than to Turkey or the Arabian peninsula, so it makes sense for them to play on EUW. The Maghreb is geographically farther west than Germany, Maghreb literally means "west" in old Arabic, and the Maghreb isn't part of the middle east and is too far away to be properly serviced by a server in the middle east.

I live in Saudi and in my City fiber optic internet is pre installed in most buildings and rest of Saudi has optional access to fiber optic more or less we probably have access to higher internet speeds than most European countires , the problem is that there is no server close there is a massive player base in the Middle East but there is no server we need one. 120+ ping isn’t ok

Man, I always play with 140-200 ping which is really damn annoying! (From the UAE), I hope riot adds a server for us for real..[slayer-jinx-unamused]
