Hello @Tzar_Draco

Servers were retired because many Middle East players were joining EU Servers so the desicion was made. I understand that you don't like to play on higher ping

SA and Middle East servers are now routing players to EU. While there are still some diehard players in those regions, the numbers overall seemed to have forced EA's hand.

I highly doubt this is a DICE decision and more of a higher up kind of one - please don't freak out at the CM's if you go to the other thread
