how much in subscription fees did they get already from EU players?
20 million $?
30 million $? 50?
they take their money but they treat their EU customers 2nd class.
some say it doesn't make much difference in latency,
but i think NA players are quite happy with their servers not being thousands of miles away.
Servers are on the East coast to compromise with EU and NA- East coasters of NA are happy I'm sure (Of the 5 east coasters of NA I asked to ping they averaged 25 MS). West coasters have a very similar delay to what is being reported in this thread for EU, 100-150.how much in subscription fees did they get already from EU players?

Not all of NA won out from it XD.
I play from the EU region and I agree, but at this point I wouldn't want to change servers due to how much I love the NA server I'm on. Also, they fixed something in terms of how frequently the servers read client-side inputs, and ever since then I haven't had serious issues with the unforgiving fights like Titan HM/EX and latency.
Ping for myself is fine (UK), I am generally around 80-100ms.
But yes, EU servers should be... in well in Europe. It blew my mind when I was told and confirmed for myself that they're in Montreal. There should at-least be a warning to European players that there are no actual European servers.
I have around 100ms from The Netherlands with WTFast, around 120-130ms without it. However, WTFast does eliminate almost all of the spikes I get.
As for servers physically in the EU, they'd likely have to create new servers for that, considering there are quite a lot of non-EU people on the current 'EU' servers as well.
If you get hit by titan's big attack (forgot the name) that lands in the middle of the platform, while you on your screen are nearly jumping off. Is that noticeable enough? How about trying to heal straight after running? suddenly your heal stops midway cause the game think you are still running.Do you struggle with content at all? Like, really struggle? Do you get noticeable lag? I have better ping in the UK than most of my American friends close to the server. I ask this of most people who ask for an EU server because the majority ask for the sake of it, not because we really need it.
So yea, its noticeable and quite frankly really annoying since i need to force myself sometimes to do a half second of nothing so the game can catch up.
My guess: some NA players, knowing the EU datacenter is in same location as NA, gone in EU servers to avoid all the competition there is in NA servers, and if the datacenter goes EU for real, they kiss goodbye the latency they now are saying it is not an issue, and cry hard this does not have to happen.
