I am however thinking that it is they who should be thanking us for being a passionate community, and not us thanking them for something that should have been in place since the start.
Nevertheless, my skepticism now turns to is there will be local servers for all platforms, or just PC. I switched from PC to PS4 during BF 4 and Hardline (Couldnt keep up with pc upgrades.). I had the games on both platforms, but found that although PC had local servers, there were none on PS4.
So, I can only ask; When the servers are launched, and consoles are left behind, that the Master Race continues aiding us mere peasants in applying pressure to have consoles get servers as well.
A great win for the community, and a big thank you for everyone around the world that stood with us. #PingsWillFall#BF1AfricaServers
This is the love you missed out on from the start EA and DICE!
The force in SA community is strong!
Early 2017 to me sounds like the first quarter, meaning not later than march. Confirmation that i3D are most likely hosting the servers for BF 1 so hopefully we will have servers right after new years I would guess, or hope is more the feeling:D.
Even though no official comment was provided from official members of EA and DICE in this discussion, I find shortsighted. I would like to thank those that worked to make this happen (even though it should have been there in the first place as pointed out by @Phr33Dumb).
With all this being said, thanks you to @Striterax for keeping us updated on other discussions and also everyone who worked on making this happen and those that supported our cause on this forum and social media ([Special shoutout:] JackFrags and Battle(non)sense)!
To the gamers in SA see you on the Battle field “soon”
Well well well I guess I can stop the sh!tty Twitter post I was going to make its about time and now I have to go be humble and thankful on Twitter… sigh.
I feel good..GREAT that we are getting servers. It is not really EA and DICE fault that infrastructure is not the best in certain regions and also that other stakeholders needs to be thrown in to the equation.
The glass can be either half full or half empty, I will be drinking my glass full of beer:D in celebration!
We’re relieved that the cat is finally out of the bag and you guys got what you deserve.
You probably didn’t notice, but we cut you a lot of slack in this thread because we know how important this was for you.
But we would really appreciate it if comments conform to forum rules from here on.
hahaha That’s South Africans right there, we did it guys, we got the fat cat’s attention, and we are getting servers. Now if we can only do the same to get rid of our president Jacob Zuma. Thanks so much for listening and putting up with us moderators. Whoooo hooooo!!!
Yay more SA players!!!
its about time and now I have to go be humble and thankful on Twitter… sigh.
