Epic pings. <10 ms anyone? Realistically, the release DID say that although SD is their HQ, they have locations worldwide. Who knows if they'll start off the game with just European servers that everyone has to connect to, or if the US will get its own servers. If so, who knows where in the US their server farm will be. If they pick the SD one though... that'd be pretty nice for you.
