Server in US, with EU timezone maybe?
With the news of my.com as publisher my hype died, obviously. The stupid data laws making it too difficult to self-publish there..
But would it be possible with a server on the east cost, for EU, with timezone made for CEST?
I got no idea about the legal ramifications.. I'm just saying I'd be way more interested in that.
Of course ping is always an issue. But honestly.. with MY.com as publisher, I'm pretty sure, a quality network+server on the east coast, can be pretty close to the same ping. Ashes will get a way lower playerbase in EU because of the choice. This could save some.

If interactions with My.com is minimal and EU players don't feel separate to the NA playerbase and developers, then together with IS's apparently strict contract agreements, it might not be the end of the world. Will never like it, but might not be a game breaker then.
If you are raiding a NA guild's castle at 4-5:00am NA-Time then you will likely have an advantage. However, when they try to take it back the advantage would be with them.
Player opened shops could also be an issue if player-merchants aren't manning their own stores (there is some NPC-type system for manning shops while away though).
If your guild isn't super active after a few months you could end up having trouble finding 7-19 other players to do a raid with.
In the end, I hope the My.com thing works out and EU players have the same experience we do in NA. If that doesn't work out then I would happily invite the EU players to the NA servers.
