Hi.
I'm a long time sub of AoC.
Sure I love the game and all, but there's one thing I don't get.
Funcom moved the servers to the USA, but still 80-90% plays in the EU ? So our poor EU money isn't worth anything ?
Here's a pick of a usual night around US "prime time" . Wait times going into the hours for EU players, just for a single minigame.

So.. Someone please remind me.. why do we accept 100+ ping to accomendate for the 5% population ? Why not give the people that actually play the game a godd experience ? Sounds like a good business plan to me.
I'm pretty sure EU amsterdam centers are as cheap as US NYC datacenters.
