Can we please, have a modernization for the servers. (Specifically, tick/refreshrate)

Distance to the servers is a speed of light thing, no matter how good your connection is, even if it's all fiber, there is the distance factor.

I live in the middle of NA and my ping on Google Fiber is 49 ms to the NA DC. NY to LA is 63 ms latency and that is going to be as good as it gets due to speed of light. It isnt unreasonable to ask for the netcode to be optimized to be 100% playable at 100 ms latency.

Personally would still want a dedicated east coast server with a net code fix. My ping is basically the same to the European server as it is to my so called home server of NA because it's either 3000 mi one way or 3000 mi the other (78 ms vs 83). This being Massachusetts on a Fiber connection, on some very rare days if the routing is screwy it's 90-110. Think in Maine you might as well be connecting to the European server (better ping?)...although I don't know anyone from Maine who plays this game so cannot confirm. If you're from Maine feel free to chime in here.

I kind of got screwed over on the server move from Canada way back when, it used to play a lot smoother at 40 ms but now it's...less smooth and even more noticeable given spell casting has been reduced.
