North American servers are based out of Virginia, they're on a MAE hub which if you know anything about them blows away using a standard server localization by state. 

Oceanic Servers are based in Aussie & European servers are based um...I'm not quite sure how GOA sets up their servers.

Yea its pretty cool...i dont know of any other games that are using a MAE hub for their servers.  It pretty much negates a ton of the travel ping going from server to server to server to hub and back.  I'm in Florida so its all cool to me that its on the east coast lol.

A MAE is an Internet Exchange Point (mae is an alternate name), unless they've changed their mind about using the MAE - East last I heard this is what they're using since they're right on top of it in Virginia.
