Timezone is same difference from EU to NA and JP but -7h to first one and +7h to second one.
So what's the deal?
Language only? Wow, seems smart...




I demand you to tell me exactly which servers will be REALLY LOCATED in Europe with GMT 0/+1 timezone. Not just from the name.
did you bother trying to ping the NA datacenter? Your should be pinging in the 100s to it. It has nothing to do with timezones and everything to do with infrastructure.

Server Location wasn't the issue, it was the horrible server architecture.
it was a combination of both. And even if the new data center isn't right on your doorstep it's still closer to you and will still offer you better perfromance.
