Please consider adding South African servers to Sea of Thieves.
Right now most South African players are forced onto EU servers with around 170–250 ping, sometimes even higher. In a game where PvP, cannon shots, sword fights, movement, and hit registration matter so much, it honestly makes a huge difference and can get pretty frustrating.
South Africa’s gaming community has grown a lot over the years and more games are starting to support the region with servers because the demand is there. Games from companies like Riot, Valve, Blizzard, EA, and others already have South African servers or support nearby regions.
Sea of Thieves already has a solid playerbase here, but the high ping makes the experience feel unfair sometimes, especially during fights. A lot of people I know either stopped playing PvP or stopped playing entirely because of latency issues.
Adding South African servers would:
- Make combat and hit registration feel much better
- Give African players a fairer experience
- Help grow the playerbase in the region
- Make the game more enjoyable overall for long-term players here
Even testing South African matchmaking or regional servers during peak times would already help a lot.
There are a lot of passionate Sea of Thieves players in South Africa and across Africa who would genuinely appreciate being considered.
