Correction: It is common with GLOBAL online games i.e games that are accessible for anyone from any part of the world. Online games that have region based serverparks rarely have issues like the ones we've got in the global online games hosted in one single location.

Simple. Both the EU and NA players connect through the same pipeline, at the same time. When we do, it creates a bottleneck of sorts.

This, in turn, creates massive packetloss for a majority of players, resulting in rubberbanding/lagspikes (some lasting up to 10 sec for some)/disconnects (90k)/etc.

Packetloss for the EU players however is also partly due to the fact that our information has to travel a LOT further to reach the servers.
