Great news for our European friends!

Can they also move the North American servers to North America, instead of being behind Level 3 Communications which is roughly the same as Mars?

Playing from Europe here o/

Do we really suffer such bad latency that we need a more localized server? I know the servers are halfway across the world, but I don't think I have much issue with ping in FF.

Unless I just got used to it lol...

If you think you are supposed to pay money for a 140 Ping, yes you dont need servers in europe.

Won't really change much for me. Playing with a ping of around 80 ms with no real latency problems. I wonder where they're planning to locate the servers in Europe.

I get 100ms ping myself from the UK but I know lots of European players that wouldn't be able to play the game without things like battleping as they get 300+

Netherlands, but just like many cities in the UK indeed just a very small amount of hops prior to simply traveling across the ocean.
