Americas Merge killed the game for South America

The server merge on this 32.1 patch was a huge lie. We were told that they would test the servers locations to make sure there weren’t big ping discrepancies, but most of the South America players went from under 60ms to >130ms. I for example was used to play with 20ms and now it’s 160ms here. Completely unplayable for Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, while USA players are playing with a ping lower than 50ms. Just check the official discord servers for BR and NA and see.

What’s worse? Player base is nothing shrinking, in fact is rising consistently per data from steam charts. One could argue that we can never know if the player numbers in rising globally (specially in Asia) and decreasing in Americas, since steamcharts doesn’t specify where the players are from, but the South America servers were always healthy and queuing all day consistently, even until 4 am on week days. This seems like just a maneuver to save money and buff the servers on NA by the expense of South America.

The devs need to reconsider this, bring back the SA servers or find a middle ground for players in Brazil and USA to have the same ping (like somewhere close to Panama/Mexico) otherwise most of us are just going to drop the game and don’t play again. I’m an active player since the launching and I spent more than a thousand dollars on crates and passes since then. I feel betrayed by PUBG corp.

Edit: typos.
