I am sorry but this is absolutely stupid.
And in all honesty, I have to admit that I am extremely pissed off by this.
You said you would have liked the server to be in Amsterdam but it cannot be done yet. This is absolutely ridiculous.
You, being the publisher, should ensure that it is within your power to have servers located in both the US and EU, regardless of the game being in Alpha or not.
It is already stretching things only having an Alpha server for the US only. Now that you ARE actually opening up ANOTHER, you STILL show no love at all for your european players.
But, thinking about it, when DID you ever show us europeans some love? The Livestreams are on horrible times for european people, alpha servers only in the US too.
