Laggy Servers

All your servers come up to me with about 100 ping minimum. Playing with this ping is unbearable, please get some west coast servers
Comments
coming from a 40 ping server to a 100 ping, you notice a big difference. I was reading through the "bugs" and "suggestion" forums, and about 80% of the complaints are from "I hit the guy, heard the sound, and all that jazz, but he takes no damage." This is because of that higher ping difference. The player did in fact hit the opponent... on his computer, but by the time the information is received by the server, he's a few inches out of reach. At 100 ping, this isn't too terribly bad, and is more of an annoyance, but it does put you at a significant disadvantage. Its only really bad when fighting a skirmisher or a parrot.
The only really disadvantage you get by them is that it's much harder to pp because you have less time to react. But 100 should still be good enough for everything above captains cutlass.
And this
is not true, if it was like that you would also miss people with a ping of 50. There's lag compenation for this stuff, so if you hit an opponent while having 400 ping, he will get all the damage you saw your weapon dealing, though you'll first be able to see it after 0.8 seconds.
But surely it would be nice having servers at the west coast too i guess.

regardless of lag compensation, its noticeable to me. As I said, in most cases the game plays fine, with exception to parrots in particular.
Men are BETTER than women
I have a pretty good connection most of the time, but the servers are just too far away to get under 100 ping consistently. Would it be possible for someone with a west coast server already to be transfered into the official servers?
PS: I think that is the closest thing I've said that makes sense all week.
Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

I remember those days.
