More servers

Crossfire should make a new server for the middle east, so that other players with slow internet can play with no lags, right?

I hope, I see not a ME server but egypt.crossfire.z8games.com

Same story as always:
Yes, it would reduce lags for players from the Middle East but it's not going to happen because Z8games doesn't have the license to host CF in the Middle East. Their license only spans to UK and North America as well as South America (the latter of which is an independent CF version).

Either there is no company planning to buy the CF hosting license from Smilegate (there would be various political and economical reasons for that) or Smilegate doesn't even plan to cover that region in their game.

Things that are keeping a Server from being hosted there.

1. Cost
The Server would require a separate building to host it, a separate internet connection and bandwidth to connect it, separate staff to run and maintain it, and ect... Easily can reach $15,000+ a month to host a server there, has the ME region shown that it consistently spends more then $15,000+ a month to support it?

2. Licensing
If Z8 can't get the License for that region, they aren't allowed to host the game their at all.

3. Local Laws and Regulations
It can be a big hassle to work with in another countries Laws, especially if they are very different from the country you are currently hosting from. If the game laws between the two countries contradict each other then it is impossible to host the game in both countries, so it would need to be its own version which is even more work to do.

Check your connection! I'm egyptian and my ping in UK servers is 80 - 90, and there are some egyptians with 60 ping.

The UK servers have a majority ME population and they are effectively "ME servers", also they were moved to Germany to be nearer to Egypt and Turkey and surrounding areas.

If anything it should be the UK players moaning that their ping has now risen from 8-20 to now 30-60.

And your 80-90 is not that bad.
