I feel the need to repeat myself. For those of you that don't already know, chadz already realizes this particular issue is a problem. However, his plan to resolve it is not to separate the communities, but separate the server preference via different sides of the map. This makes a lot more sense than 2 maps, so I don't see him changing his mind about this. The real problem is not convincing him to do something about the EU and NA ping and timing problem, but to convince him to hurry up and do it already. I don't see any need to wait till the next version of strategus to implement this change.
