Lagg upon lagg upon lagg

[Rillifane]

Sorry but these are excuses, decent MMOs have separate European and NA data centres because that provides better performance - less hops, less hubs to go through, less lag spikes (and smaller lag spikes) and less packet loss, that an MMO asking for a sub does not have separate data centres is a joke.

Shorter distance doesn't automatically mean fewer hops, or better performance from said hops or the cabling used between them. People need to think twice before stating things like this.
