These Fortnite players will now have higher ping. Epic has lost its partner and is shutting down some servers
Epic in its official announcement informed that some Fortnite servers will be suspended. Who will be affected by this?
There was a lot of noise on the web about the Epic announcement regarding May 9. It is on this day that some servers will be suspended, which will result in increased ping in Fortnite.
It’s true that Epic will be shutting down some servers
The message that Epic has to give up some servers is true, but it only applies to players from the Middle East. The point here is that one of the ISPs has suspended cooperation with Epic, which has resulted in the shutdown of some servers.
This situation will probably be resolved within a few weeks, maybe months. There is no point in believing in any scary scenarios that Epic shuts down the servers forever, or that it will somehow apply to people living all over the world.
