I have recently began playing PLAYERUNKNOWN'S Battle Royale. It is a polished, enjoyable mod. 5 stars.

A quick Google search reveals that at one time there were active US servers for this mod which were typically English language (and Spanish, I would assume) rather than the French and German (plus some Russian and other languages) of the EU servers. Perhaps more importantly, they would probably have had lower ping for someone playing in North America, as well as more normal hours of population (e.g., 9:00 PM in New York and 6:00 in California rather than those respective times in Europe).

However, the most up-to-date comment about US servers that I have been able to find is a post on PLAYERUNKNOWN's official website – a post which now seems to have been deleted, actually – about how there was a problem with the US servers.

In game, of course, I cannot find any servers that are not EU servers, and only EU servers are listed right now on the mod's official listing page (http://battleroyalegames.com/servers/).

Here are my questions: Are there any North American servers for this mod? Will they be returning? Why are they not online? Is there something that we can do as the North American community which uses this mod to help bring the North American servers back online? Is there an unofficial North American server that I can join in the interim?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
