SE have a US headquaters and they have Edios in Europe so it makes sense, granted their main programmers are in Japan but like I say other MMO's manage it just fine.
Its the cost of it, to upgrade all thier equipment in San Fransico and London (most likey places) will cost the atleast 50k, possibly over 100k, SE has dumped alot of money into this game already, and 2.0 has (while we all hope this turns out to be wrong) the possibility of failure, do you really think SE want to pay that much and see 2.0 fail?

I have no idea how big the server rooms in thier regional offices are either, it could require physical expasion of thier offices to accomodate the servers, which is extra cost. It may come if the game ends up a success and they are confident to spend the money, but before its a success no way in hell.
