US Servers at 2.0?

[Orophin]

I don't think SE will position servers in every region. I don't think it has much to do much with segregating the playerbase so much as their core development team is in Japan and want to be close to their hardware.

As far as people talking about latency and such, anyone in Japan will always have an edge against anyone not there since they are closer to the servers. In Japan they probably have a 10-20ms ping. I live in Arizona and I get about a 50ms ping to the server, and it gets worse the further east you go. That's why Europeans notice lag the most; they're getting 200ms (or worse) pings to the server. This is all networking related and it won't be better unless routes to the server are better optimized. (which SE has no control over)

Blizzard have 4 servers in America for WoW and they have dedicated servers in France.. what's the difference ?

They also have a Chinese server as well.

Sure EU may get the patch a day later than America but its a small price to pay IMO.

How about you guys way for it to come out, and check out the server state in 2.0? And then you can report all the problems you have, instead of predicting them without any proof.

Yes lets wait til 2.0 when it will be too late to make a difference/change.

We already have a recommended EU server I don't see what difference it would make to moving it to Europe. (they could have it at Edios)
