I know what -they- say.

Latency, GM/Staff schedules, downtime, and stuff like that. "The reason is to provide the best service possible".

Imo, they could rather just give us a disclaimer explaining this instead of forcing it, so they probably have their own personal reasons.

However, they have confirmed that billing method upon account registration is what will decide what servers you get access to.

Also remember - first month gametime is free. This means, if you can get a person with US adress and creditcard to sign up for you, you can later (Before the free month expires) change to your own card, and keep playing on US servers. Your friend will only have to enter his creditcard, he won't actually ever get billed.
