New EU Servers

This. Plus being able to play ANY content cross data center. Even if its fates or what ever.

Maybe SE believes that with the higher ping most EU ppl on NA servers will be transfering anyways. I dunno.

Who knows, mind you, why can't we simply choose which DC we wish to do our instances on....it can't be THAT hard can it?

Yes it can be... I'm pretty sure the only existing connection between the datacenters is the lobby server, the physical datacetner servers are in completely differen places on the world, so if you were to play with someone from Chaos while on Aether would you not only get the ping of chaos, you would get the ping of connecting to Aether and from there to Chaos, and if you throw in some japanese datacenter too and make a group of players from all those, you would probably need a new server they all connect to, which means adding another physical server location, and more people complaining about ping, and the costs for those servers needs to be covered too... I mean, I'm no professional in tech stuff, but it's not hard to understand that it is indeed THAT hard.

Edit:
Or wait, actually, you already can choose a DC to do instances in! You just have to have your character on a server there.

Please stop confusing devs for evil little fairies who only don't do things because they enjoy to see the community suffer, and not because it's too hard / too expensive / wouldn't be able to work out as planned and thus isn't worth it.
