They did it in EU for a completely different reason. EU was overpopulated while in NA it isn't solely about overpopulation rather than ISP/ping related issues

It's true they did do it in EU for the overpopulation that's also because they got a much larger influx in players vs what servers they had available there. Also I don't think most Brits want to play on the same server as French or Russian due to the language barrier.

One kind of big issue about splitting the servers though and a good example of this was starcraft 2 in the beginning. It really made match making a hard a utterly annoying thing because someone from the same region might have been a much higher rating than you and they were the only one available because the servers were set up that way. So from a competitive viewpoint it's like adding dlc maps. It splits the community up in a bad way.

I thought you guys weren't part of Europe? At least, that's what you keep saying.

FYI, I live on the east coast outside of DC. It is a lucky day when my NA ping is 90 as it usually hovers around 100-110. I upgraded my Internet speed (Verizon Fios…from 25/25 to 75/75) recently. That helped with issues when several people were using the Internet, but did not change the ping. I play some on Latin America North, which I understand are in Miami. My ping rate there is usually in the low 40s. Even when visiting family in Michigan over Christmas, ping to LAN was much less than NA. It would be cool if the right side of the country got some love!
Just launched custom games...LAN ping = 42...NA ping = 111.
