I'm actually a bit choked right now

I've just read the news, and it's brought a big lump to my throat.

This is like a dream come true for me - this is amazing. I know I've militated and ranted and generally been a pain in the buttocks when it comes to the EU and how I've felt we've been treated - but this... wow.

I'm lost for words (almost - make the most of it)

When War Witch said she'd look into it I honestly thought "yeah yeah I've heard that before, throw them a bone and shut 'em up."

I was clearly wrong. I guess I should have known better because I know WW never speaks unless it's worth speaking. So I am going to enjoy this slice of humble pie with pleasure.

To those Devs who made it possible I thankyou from the bottom of my heart and promise to try and be less of a git from now on (promises are made to be broken right? :P)

Seriously... this is a big deal for me, and for many of us on both sides of the pond.

To my American friends I have a very simple message: Come to Defiant, we have cookies!

Thanks again. Wow!

So we can finally introduce the never-before-seen Sombrero server now, right?

I have sent out a message to the community in an alternative (ie second) dimension (life) where there is a small but buoyant community that loves this game but has been divided by a technological divide and an ocean.

There is no downside to this!

That is nonsensical...

Well, they might have transfered him over to live Euro server maintenance, which would increase the staff there to two.

I'm so pleased by this announcement - I can hardly wait.

I actually want to check out the EU servers - I hear that there's a great community on Defiant & Union, plus I can lurk and try out my very rusty French skills on Vigilance!

Are they there yet?
How about now?

I saw the potential but with a lack of any news or commentary from up on high it was too much to hope for in isolation

I suspected this as well given those two steps but I didn't want to get my hopes up.

I'm certainly very happy about this as well. I've really enjoyed sharing the forums with our American (and other nationalities) friends and I now look forward to sharing the game with them too.

I'll certainly be rolling up afresh on Virtue to check out the RP scene but I'd keen to experience Freedom and I hear that Pinnacle have drinks too!

It'll still be golden girl, exactly the same as all the other ones she has on each server in the NA list.
