There has been so much misinformation since the initial announcement that servers would be closing, I probably would've been better off reading nothing at all until today.
The physical locations of the servers are moving. All are currently in Boston, MA, USA. Now the US servers will be in New Jersey and the EU servers will be in Amsterdam.

The only effect this will have is your ping times (connection speed on the internet to the game servers). This change will not prevent you from playing on any of the servers, you just may experience higher ping times.

Other regions (South America, Asia, Australia, etc) come into play because of how far they are. They've never had their own servers (the way the NA and EU folks have) and so have always had to deal with international connections, and thus typically higher ping times. So, for example, if Bob lives in the US but plays on an EU server, he may want to know how badly his connection ping times will be affected once the EU servers move to Amsterdam. The best way to find out will be to ask his friends from Asia, Australia, etc. how their ping times are, and compare their personal connection speeds to that.
