Anybody know where the World of Warcraft European servers are located? Someone said they are all in Britain but I am not sure. Would they have some in Germany, some in Finland etc?

I guess that means people liked your mod when there are changes in Blizzard's patch log to fix bugs that only occur when playing it.

It was the WOTJs and LOTRs that kept me and my friends going, and going... and going. Nothing tangs of my childhood than a Bnet lobby or someone bitching about their favorite hero being sniped, when all they really should care about is Borlad.
