Because everyone equates geographically central with being network central -- and that's not true.

They could have stuck the servers somewhere in the middle of the country, but if that location has insufficient network connectivity, they would be in a physically central location, but still on the edge of the network.

There are a ton of MMOs on datacenters in Texas already (Aion, LOTRO, TERA, BnS, etc.). I doubt there's 'insufficient network connectivity' there, but there might not have been anywhere with enough available and up-to-date hardware for the changes SE wants to make with the game going forward.

I understand that. But shouldn't my server time be 2 hours behind my current time and not 6 hours a head ? 6 hours a head puts it in the EU. And last I knew Diabolos server is NA.....

Maybe 'server time' isn't actually based on the geographical location of the servers? I never really paid attention to it before.
