US South Servers to be shut down

Attention Mercenaries,

The Miami Server will be shut down effective midnight tonight. At this time we have no plans to bring the server back.

Please note that after the US South Servers are down, the Server Selection window will display the wrong servers as having 5% Bonus GP. The current Servers which have 5% Bonus GP are:
UK Server 4
Delta Server
The average activity level of the Miami Server is an incredibly small fraction of the daily population of the game. Most of the people that used this server will be able to get a similar latency by connecting to either the US West or the Regular CF Servers.

We will be monitoring the impact of this change on all levels, it is our goal to increase the capacity of the servers in concentrated areas rather than these fringe servers that don't serve any significant population of people. As always we'll be watching for your feedback and looking at the raw game data to determine the best possible course of action moving forward!

In addition to this, there is a side effect that should help funnel new players to the South American version at br.crossfire.z8games.com. We have already seen the population start to move down there in the first 8-10 months of this SA service, and we will continue to encourage players from Brazil to play there.

We will also be looking to replace the bonus 5% GP server somewhere else, as well as look at the level requirements of all the servers to see if we can implement any positive changes for our users.


While this Server Shutdown won't affect many people we do realize that it will inconvenience some, and for that we are deeply sorry.

Thanks for your patience and understanding and for your continued loyalty to Cross Fire!
