Not an April Fools joke, we're opening a South American region server (in Sao Paulo, Brazil)! You can now select SA Brazil as your preferred region and your party region just like the other regions.
We're doing this on a trial basis, as each server region has to be financially sustainable. The region is funded for at least 4 months, and based on donations received from SA-BR tagged accounts we will re-evaluate at that time (hey, if Australia is able to fund their server, SA-BR should be fine, right?)
Please note, for your donations to count towards funding a server, you must have it set as your preferred server region in account settings
Enjoy your new region and lowered latency and thank you for your continued support!
