Vote for a EU server in EU

I don't know about that. This game compared to other MMOs has seen some pretty big content thrown at it on a short amount of time. Granted, not every thing in a patch is top notch but is still much better than what I was used to before. Here you have WoW which makes millions every year and they went 1 year with no new content at all.

Within the first year after launch, WoW introduced 2 dungeons, Maraudon and Dire Maul, 2 Raids, Blackwing Lair and Zul'Gurub, 10 world bosses, 2 battlegrounds, keep in mind it released with like 15 dungeons and Molten Core as a raid, and Onyxia you can count as a raid, or something comparable to a Primal. The raids in WoW were a lot bigger than the raids in XIV, Molten Core alone had 10 boss fights, coil released with 3.

On the long-term i think the quality of the service (incl servers close to your clients) is important to keep your clients subscribed, especially in a competititive environment like MMO. Just my 2 cents anyway, i'm no expert.

Hasn't XI been up for over a decade with servers only based in Japan? And yes people complained about it constantly, with things like Japanese players having a better chance to claim NMs based on ping.
