It should go without saying that one data center is cheaper to build than two data centers. 1.0 was an unmitigated financial disaster, so it's not as if they had tons of money laying around to just throw at building a second data center for a game that was being relaunched on a prayer and a few rolls of duct tape. They had no idea if the game was going to fly or die at that point, so why invest more than they have to? The majority of players seem to play from the NA region, so why would they put the servers in Europe? It makes a lot more sense to handle it the way they're doing. Now that the game is on solid footing, they can move ahead with it. I don't get why people can't just be happy that it's happening instead of bitching that it didn't happen sooner.

@OP - the helmet kinda looks glitched to me, honestly.
