I agree whats done is done and should fix the Issues that are going on, moving EU servers to Amsterdam still would not fix this. I do understand reason to complain, but what i want to know is why you said it was set up an ready to go? wish you hadn't said that cause seems it never was...
I didn't say it was set and ready to go. Turbine said at some point that we would have two server clusters, one in NJ and the other in Amsterdam. But that was months before the actual move to NJ, so in that time gap Turbine realised it was not a good investment and/or whatever caused them to not go through that route.
I think it's possible that Turbine was thinking in moving to Amsterdam until the new servers in NJ caused the problems we know. When that happened I think it was the breaking point at which Turbine determined the move wouldn't be worth the benefits.
Note that these are purely my opinions, I have no real clue on what Turbine thought and think about this "move to Amsterdam" situation.
