server of choice is indeed a serious matter for us oceanic/asian players

i for one didn't hesitate to choose a JP server as soon as i heard that there are 2 data centers (NA/EU and JP)
latency is all that matters for endgame, i don't mind playing with the Japanese as long as i can play with no problem with latency
there are a lot of English community also here in the JP servers, even the shout window is filled with English than Japanese
