New EU Servers

I am always wary whenever someone says, "it can't be that hard". :P

I suspect there are networking issues with having cross datacentre grouping. I might be wrong but cant you only group with people within your on Datacentre? If it was easy it would probably have made sense to make things cross datacentre before now since it would greatly increase the pool of available players for queues and grouping.

If they allowed cross DC play, this problem would be vastly reduced and those EU servers would fill up faster.

Finding a proper server for you and global friends to play the game on shouldn't be a game in itself.

That would lead to almost exactly the same issue as playing on a different DC. Only now you would have people at wildly different latency entering an instance on a server without knowing what they would get until actually connected. " Awesome! I got a 32 ping to the instance in Cali...everybody else is connected from finland at 400..crap!"
