EU servers, as well as any other international servers, will have to be established after a number of technical, legal, translation, staffing and networking details have been fleshed out, and only after the time is right in the development schedule

Due to the nature of internet business laws in various countries: It's not quite as simple as dropping a server rack in a basement in Bern and walking away.

Thanks Niko, I didn't mean to imply it was an easy job. Its a technical challenge, and there are a lot of far reaching implications and interactions concerning CW.

That said, its a fairly essential (and fundamental) issue. Plus it is one which was announced when I purchased my founders package, and its been a long while since then. I'd have preferred it was done sooner-rather-than-later just because it can cause such problems in general game play. I don't think its unfair to apply a bit of pressure and ask where we are with this feature, given how important a low-latency playing experience is to "everyone".

We know its on the road map, I guess I'd just appreciate an update as to when we might expect an announcement on it. Are we still on target for details to be released quite soon? That is after all what Bryan said at GDC.
