Data Centers/World Locations Info from the LIVE Letter

[Jennestia]

So where are all players with their crazy theory about "datacenters" being all connected together to Tokyo servers etc. Can't wait now for people who have no background in networks achitecture to come to this thread and tell what SE should do instead

Stay mad. I will enjoy my 30ms latency.

Stop being dense --- Data Centers are rally points however SE as usual were using a term to describe something different they had in mind. So you're happy you'll play with only people in your area, but you better not be complaining when you don't have "30 ms latency" even on a local connection.

Actually Data Centers are buildings that house servers.

Which are used as a rally point by a lot of companies. The company I work for has Data Centers in Japan, LA, I believe Dallas, New York and Orlando which are used essentially as rally points for it's JP/NA support.

I don't care from where players are coming from. People in Europe aren't worse than the one in NA or Japan. 1 player = 1 player.

So yes, if I can choose between low latency and players from same region or 300ms and international, I'll pick the first one anytime.
(I said 30ms, supposing the servers would be in the UK but it could be a bit more if it's in Germany or France...)

Well S-E Europe HQ is in Wimbledon, so here's to hoping they've got a spare room in there!
