    Anyways happy to finally see real EU Data Center!
    They need to bring them down to copy the data, because if they simply copy it and let us keep playing it would be outdated. Also, they'll need some time to test that everything went right (servers, data, etc.).

    Of course, I'm sure that they might use incremental backups to save some time in the transfer of the data from Canada to Europe, but consider that they need a full day when they "simply" introduce a big patch, so keep that in mind when you think about how long it will take them to do this with all the data that they have to move, copy and verify. At least a day or two.
