I was worried less about the location and more about the actual server code.
To my understanding they were previously using LUA scripts for the server.
LUA...for a server...

Lua is great for small tasks and UI's however it doesnt work well doing a job such as processing lots of sequential information all at the same time, E.G 50 different Leve-Quests, Battles, Crafting, Communications, Gear Changes etc.

If you played the game at all during the ATOMOS event this was most apparentley
>Atomos dies
>Teleport : Camp Bentbranch (or w/e it was)
>Person 1 Teleports :: 1-2second gap :: Person 2 Teleports :: 1-2second gap :: Person 3 Teleports

LUA scripts work on a "Okay, i've done this, now what next.."


If all that I typed was in-fact correct and that they're redoing the actual base code and architecture for the servers they could still be in Japan and run five times more efficiently than 1.0

I'll edit my post if I find any information pointing otherwise!
This is based on what I've read and speculation for 1.0 & 2.0
