Change the name of the "EU Server"

It is not europian, it has nothing to do with Europe other than europians are forced to play on it. You are misleading your customers making them believe you actually has servers in Europe.

While I agree the megaserver should be in europe by now, they are planning to move it. Also no one is forcing europeans to play on it, I'm from the UK and I play on the North American megaserver without any real drop in performance. Also I believe the EU megaserver being in the US right now makes it easier for them to directly patch it, which with all the bugs from launch is a good thing.

Why do you think its easier to patch a server if you are close to it? You think they are updating it from a DVD or USB?

I still think are moving them bit by bit which is why they refuse to comment on the lag - the lag is awful because the servers are grossly overloaded because some of them are being moved on the sly.

Erm, they dont put the servers in the US on a boat and make it float to EU. They simply rent servers in Europe like they rent the servers in one of the major server providers now in the US (i bet its around Texas, thats why we EU suffering from a high latency. Anything but east coast is lagging like hell) and migrate the data into those, then redirecting your game to the new IP through the launcher. Depending on their architecture they may need to shut the server down for a couple of hours, but it wouldnt take weeks.
