Same situation with me. I even know UK players who've transferred from EU servers to NA servers as it's easier and more populated. It's possible to argue that a NA server has three main languages - English, French and Spanish whereas a EU server could easily have over twenty. For English speakers a NA server is often a best bet, regardless of whether you're in the EU or NA.

My ping is also usually between 90-100ms with zero packet loss on ADSL2. It's unlikely that there'd be a huge enough decrease to warrant paying for a server change and the inconvenience of losing housing, FC, friends etc.
