We need to beta test it out and if its really runs smooth nobody gonna complain about global servers. They just need to give us server with a ping below 100
A ping below 100 is in no way necessary for smooth gameplay. You will never, ever be able to perceive the difference in a MMORPG even if the ping goes up as much as 200. It's two tenths of a second.

PS: Gamescom wasn't just a "short demonstration". People got plenty hands on time with the game.
