Middle east server
The Middle East server has been unavailable for more than 4 months now. As a result, players from this region are forced to play on EU servers with around ~150ms ping.
This high latency significantly affects gameplay experience, responsiveness, and overall fairness, especially in competitive matches. The game feels noticeably less enjoyable and more difficult under these conditions.
Is there any update on the return of the Middle East server, or any planned alternative such as a nearby relay or regional server solution for better connectivity?
We would really appreciate any information or updates regarding this issue.
Thank you for your time and effort.
Please consider providing anything closer to our region, even a temporary solution would make a big difference.

Hello Rematch Team,
I would like to provide feedback regarding the Middle East servers. Removing the Middle East server has had a significant negative impact on the experience for many players in the region. Since the server was removed, players are experiencing noticeably higher ping, delayed actions, inconsistent gameplay, and a less competitive environment overall.
The Middle East player base is large and active, and many of us supported the game from its early stages. Having dedicated servers in the region allowed us to enjoy smooth gameplay and compete fairly with others. Without these servers, the game feels much less enjoyable and discourages players from continuing to play regularly.
We respectfully ask the team to reconsider this decision and either restore the Middle East servers or provide an alternative solution that can offer better latency for players in the region. A large portion of the community would greatly appreciate any effort to improve connectivity for M -

Noble Admin PinnedThe middle east servers were not intentionally removed by Sloclap. We're trying to work with Amazon (we use AWS GameLift) to push for it to be supported but it's mainly in their hands.
Super sorry for the inconvenience and believe me when I say it's on our priority list. -

WorstRematchPlayer MergedIt has been almost 4 months since Turkish players lost access to a nearby server region, and the current situation has become extremely frustrating.
Players from Turkey and surrounding regions are now forced to play on European servers with 80–100+ ms ping on a regular basis. While the game is technically playable, competitive gameplay suffers heavily from constant latency issues. In a fast-paced game where timing, reactions, and precise movement matter, playing with unstable high ping creates a huge disadvantage.
This is not a small quality-of-life issue. A large part of the player base in this region is affected, and many players are forced to choose between accepting a worse experience or simply stopping playing.
If bringing back a dedicated TR server is currently not possible, there should at least be serious consideration for alternative solutions. Better regional matchmaking prioritization, improved routing, or any system that reduces the number of Turkish and Middle Eas -
