Welcome to this side of the pond.
If you haven't checked this out yet, you probably want to minimize the latency of your connection and choose an east coast server.
Currently, Freedom is the busiest East coast server by a fair margin, and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th busiest servers are all West coast servers (Virtue, Justice and Champion respectively). Virtue occasionally is busier than Freedom, and Champion more than Justice as well.
I know plenty of people from all around the world who play on multiple servers and report no difference in latency. The internet these days is pretty good cross-pond. Have had a couple reports, in fact, of people in England/Wales getting a better connection to the NA server farms (east coast AND west coast) than the EU server farm (in Germany).
Justice has been unofficially adopted as the 'off-peak server' (off-peak by North American standards), first by Australians and lately I've seen several European groups talking about moving there. Virtue and Freedom have the highest population off-peak, simply by having the highest population, period.
PS; Justice and Infinity war for third, not Champion. I've far more often seen Infinity up than Champion. At off-peak times, though, the servers often settle differently every day.

Latency in this game isn't a huge deal either (unless it's something outrageous). The bigger issue is connection quality and dropped packets.

Agreed, I live on the east coast and play almost exclusively on Virtue and notice no difference when playing on an east coast server.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you tell which are European and which are North American servers? What's the difference?

The European servers are on a completely different list, and there's only five of them.|

Union and Defiant are the only ones you're likely to see anyone talking about, unless you venture into the French or German speaking forums. (Vigilance, Zukunft and Paragon are the others.)

And when he says "a completely different list", he means you won't even see them. When you log into the game, you are shown EITHER the NA servers OR the EU servers, based on whether you have an EU or NA account. You would have to have one (or more) of each to be able to choose from all servers.

I'm pretty sure Champion is 4th busiest. Nothing scientific, but I just checked at 7:30 PST and Champion was under Justice and Infinity below Champion.|

As far as latency goes, I suppose it depends on the things you're doing but I've found that a lower latency does make my gameplay a bit better.

Is that their name for their training room server??
Cos Union, Defiant, Vigilance, and Zukunft are the only ones I knew of.

Sorry, was going by the server list on Badge-Hunter.com. Since there's a Paragon server listed there, and we certainly don't have it on the US server list, I assumed it was an EU server.|

For some reason, I've got it stuck in my head that the Paragon server was used for the short-lived Korean version of CoH.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I moved to the US servers from the EU last year. i'd say its worth the cost of the switch, although you may be paying a few extra pence on the current exchange rate.
The loss of the vetran rewards wasn't so bad, as i still had 8 months or so of vet time on my US account from pre-EU days, and i rarely use any of the ones beyond trenchcoats outside of the AE arcs.
I've just quit my subscription in the EU servers and will be hoping to move to US Servers in March, do I need to buy a US version of game?
Thanks for the help
