This definitely will have an impact on our members who play from Europe. Most of our membership is North American and will be able to play on whatever server DoJ decides on, whether they live on the East or the West Coast (or Canada). There may be more lag and latency for West Coast folks playing on an East Coast server, but they will be able to choose whatever North American server they play on regardless of its location.
Many of the European guilds are up in arms and I don't blame them. I've played with the Custodes Fati in both UO and SWG and it is a multi-national guild. We just choose to play in English regardless whether our native language is Danish, Dutch, Spainish, Italian....you get the picture. I actually enjoy the multinational nature of European guilds. I hope Blizzard backs off on this strict stance. While I understand it is easier for Italian players to get help if they play on an Italian server and why that might be desirable, I think there should be at least one multi-national server in Europe and if you choose to play there you understand service is designed for English speakers (since that is the most common second language throughout the world).

Blizzard does indicate they will allow exceptions so guildmates can play together, though it may not happen at launch.

I would think that once they get up and running things will loosen up. Blizzard is new to monthy billing of a MMORPG. Once they have a hangle on things I an sure people will get access to any server they want. They just dont have the billing and server backbone set up.
If this is the only issue I feel it will be fixed as things settle down.
DoJ will have a vote on the server we play on onve we get the list.
