Personally, I’m sick of playing with latencys of 300+
Most games I have played would have you disconnected from the server when your latency is over 200 (or even 100). However here, I am currently playing with 500 right this second.

PvP is impossible against players who live near the server, PVE is difficult when your character reacts a few seconds after you tell it to do something (however you still see it bounce around because it has no clue whats going on) so it isn’t unheard of to get kicked from a dungeon because of your lag.

Several servers are already primarily populated by Australians/etc. having been unofficially claimed as servers for people in our time zone so it is pretty obvious there is a market for at least 3-5 high population servers (maybe more. One reason a lot of Australians are put off of MMO’s is because of the lag)

I don’t know how often Arena Net reads these forums but we need more people saying we need servers closer to us. I know a large number of people have been complaining about the lag in game and it is encouraging people to quit.
