Infrastructure of internet for NA is better than EU, in my experience. In a game, such as Mount&Blade:Warband in my experience, EU people usually get +100 ping in NA servers, even worse for Easternestmost Euroasians such as me. However NA dudes don't usually get that much problems and people living on the east coast easily get ping below 100 in EU servers.

Oh thank you *so* much!
I *really* want the server to be moved somewhere where my ping will be even *higher* than it is now! /sarcasm off
No seriously, I try to avoid getting into PvP or systems with a large number of people, simply because the extra ping time would get me killed so fast I wouldn't see it coming, which is why I spend a lot of time on one of my various traders or on my liberty capital ship.
Average ping for me right now is around 300-340, on a good day it can get under 300!
Before people say 'get a better computer/connection', my pc is more than fast enough and I have the best possible connection, it's just I live in Perth, Western Australia and that's miles from just about anywhere, I think it is STILL the most remote Capital City in the WORLD, but that may have changed since I last checked
As I can tell, American peeps get about <130 ping in European servers
While people in Europe get >150 ping in American servers, especially I since I live farther in the east, I get about 190 ping on American servers.
I don't think it would be fair to switch the server to NA.
