Well the beta servers are in the US. Playing from Sweden I get about 200 ms latency. It's fine most of the time but sometimes you get some random rubberbanding/jumping around.

So you would personally prefer to play on EU servers?
Yeah, the beta servers are abit unstable for us in Europe. Rabberbanding etc like #2 said. Im positive that will be resolved with the uprising of the servers for our region But since you want to get a group togather im guessing you're asking if this will still be happening if you play with ppl for Europe on the live servers? My guess is yes.
Yes. I was asking about US/EU players playing together. We could still easily trade - but we'll see.
Ultimately it will be up to the members on the EU side.
I'm guessing with the ~200 ms latency from Europe to NA there wouldn't be many issues playing on the early difficulties anyway.
Now, what I kind of hope happens is that as we get to Hell and Inferno mode, even small latency makes it hard enough to work together in a group that you almost can't do it! O.O I wouldn't be surprised if Inferno was so tough that latency became the difference between life and death.
My question is regarding latency though. How high will the latency of European players be if they play with people in the US, and vice versa?
I know the game operates on global servers - but that's why I'm asking!

The Europe server(s) will probably be located in Paris/Frankfurt, along with the WoW servers.
Latency will probably be around the same as in the beta when EU people play on the US server and vice versa.
My guess is 150-250 depending on location.

I meant that the servers storing the characters are global.
