I guess most of you know about the difficulties that occur when you try to host your server in the US. (Blizzard policies)
We know that people from North America and Australia would love to have the server hosted in a different place than central europe, but we can not offer you that.
However, previous american Players have stated that they were positively surprised about the "good" latencies they got here, despite the fact that it's hosted in europe.
In the end, we can just ask you to try and find out what latencies you get here.
We would love to see and welcome a large american community here as well.
for the people talking about leveling rates, you can exchange your thoughts and opinions about that topic, but it makes the most sense if you open a own thread for it.
