Servers latency

Hi, I know you've temporarily suspended support for the Moscow server, but could you please resolve the issue with logging in? After each game restart, I need to enter "Russia" in the server selection line . Could you make the client remember the Moscow server I entered after each restart? Now, you entered the Stockholm server and said that this wouldn't change the game quality for Russian players. However, firstly, the latency on the server selection screen and in-game on the Stockholm server is two times different, and this is only true for the Hideout maps (see and pictures). Could you either have the menu initially display the latency a Russian player can expect, or would it be better to have the menu display the latency in-game? Secondly, regarding game quality for Russian players, the latency on the unsupported Moscow server is 11 times lower than on its replacement, the Stockholm server ( picture). This is a completely incomparable gaming experience. I don't live in Moscow or even the surrounding area. So, is there a timeline or plan for returning the Moscow server, and is any work being done to improve the Stockholm server hardware to improve the gaming experience for Russian players while the Moscow server is down? I'd guess that Russian players make up 1-2% of the player base, while roughly 15-20% is a huge part of the community. I'd like to think GGG won't pretend everything is fine, even though the situation has actually worsened significantly for a large number of players. Thank you, I hope these issues are resolved quickly. P.S. I forgot to mention that in patch 0.3, the network latency on the Stockholm server wasn't that high; it was around 30-35. The situation worsened in patch 0.4. P.P.S. I couldn't find the POE2 support thread. Please redirect it if I'm posting in the wrong place. This is the closest I got in the email from support@grindinggear.com.
