Askaray, consider yourself an honorary EU person
I suspect ping will not be too bad for you if servers are western europe, since youd have to ping canada if you transfered anyway.

To be truthful im not as concerned with halving my ping as I am that when the community segregates further I wont be able to find Statics to run at a time that suits my timezone so that is why I would transfer. But I have 2 active characters, and a third for RP, which would cost so much
