Can you move the NA servers from Canada to the US?

They said at the London fanfest today that they were moving the EU servers to Europe.

No please. They're moving the EU servers to the EU. It makes sense. It doesn't make sense to move the NA servers since they're already in the NA.

Also I'm a Canadian so I'm not going to say "yes" to worse ping. lol

What would classify as "EU" servers? How would they determine which of the NA servers they are moving straight out from Montreal (and possibly NA players) and moving them over to UK/EU?

Because technically, there are no "EU" servers. So what exactly is moving?

They don't need to move the servers specifically to the US, but they need to move to any city which doesn't have a primary backbone route through Level 3 Communications.

Level 3 is practically a 3rd world country's backbone.

The Chaos datacenter is labelled as the datacenter for European players when you are selecting one. All servers under that banner are "EU" servers.

I have the same ping to Japan that I do to Canada.. Perhaps they could move the server to a location that doesn't consider EU (since it won't matter now).

• Level 3 is also the largest competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) and the 2nd largest provider of fiber optic internet access (based on coverage area) in the United States.

I live in the southwestern U.S. and my ping time to the servers is just under 80ms, which is fairly optimal.

Well to be fair, America's internet is basically 3rd world in comparison to...everywhere else that has an actual infrastructure, like parts of asia (korea/japan)

Everyones internet compared to Asia as a whole can be considered 3rd world...
