The gaming division of South African Internet Service Provider Web Africa, WAGE (Web Africa Gaming Experience), has confirmed that they will be hosting official EA ranked servers for Battlefield 3.<\/p>\n

“After much anticipation, WAGE is proud to announce that we have finalized our [Ranked Server Provider (RSP)] status with EA and DICE,” said Web Africa Games Master Robert Tait.<\/p>\n

“I can confirm that we will officially be hosting Battlefield 3 servers. Battlefield 3 is probably the most sought after and perhaps the most important recent release on the gaming release calendar,” added Web Africa’s David Eini, second in command to Tait.<\/p>\n

“We have received numerous requests from the gaming community regarding our RSP status with EA. We here at WAGE believe that this will undoubtedly be a phenomenal game and so we are expecting massive online support from gamers and clan owners in South Africa,” said Tait.<\/p>\n

WAGE confirmed that they will be hosting four Battlefield 3 64-player ranked servers. These servers will be powered by Intel Xeon processor technology.<\/p>\n

“Our Xeon servers…should provide and exceed the required operating specifications for optimum stability and little lag,” said Tait.<\/p>\n

Preliminary servers names have been drawn up, but these are not yet final:<\/p>\n

•    WAGE – Ticonderoga
•    WAGE – Hood
•    WAGE – Anvil
•    WAGE – Airborne<\/p>\n

Battlefield beta participation<\/strong><\/p>\n

WAGE also plans to involve the South African gaming community in the beta testing phase of their servers.<\/p>\n

“We will be enjoying the company of other RSP’s as well as fellow gamers while we test the servers in beta stage. We will be providing these [beta keys] to the members of the MyGaming forums as well as a general giveaway on a first come first serve basis,” said Tait.<\/p>\n

Battlefield 3 clan servers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tait said that there is a “strong possibility” that WAGE will be providing private servers for clans. “Servers will be charged for at a competitive rate should we proceed,” he said.<\/p>\n

“At the moment I cannot confirm that we will be providing clans servers. Considering that we have a large number of clans that we provide servers to, such as Pew Pew and Ventus, we may provide sponsored servers,” added Tait.<\/p>\n

WAGE will be giving away four copies of the Battlefield 3: Limited Edition packs in a competition they plan to host soon.<\/p>\n
