So, I live in North America on the east coast, and I'm on Aether (Faerie to be exact). I have a lot of friends I've made in Europe, so I decided to make an alt to play on Light/Zodiark. At first, I was apprehensive because I thought that the performance of the game would suffer with me being in NA and on a EU data center, but I am shocked to find it actually plays just as smooth.

Is this normal? I would have thought being in NA I would suffer from dips and lag in performance, but I've experienced absolutely none. It's nice because it has opened my game experience to a whole new group of people.

I can only assume, since I am on the East coast, the distance between the NA and EU data centers from me are roughly the same, since I believe the DC in NA is in California.
