The main mega servers are based in California, but they have cluster servers that connect to that mega server based in different parts of the world. This makes it so you can play with people from the US, EU, Asia and other countries without experiencing any latency.
There are rumours, that Dragon, Beholder & Mindflayer are going to be merged into one huge mega server, but I've yet to find any official evidence of that.
Right now there is latency, but I feel this is due to the servers being overloaded more than Cryptic/Perfect World predicted.

thx
Want to know why Neverwinter is so laggy? Check out the "Latency" section in this thread.
I hope they have a East Coast as well. or at least spread it, you know what I mean? :P
Well, considering it will be come one single server, I don't see why that is a problem.
Is there an official post saying it will merge into one?
Can you post the link? Thanks!
Which is complete BS. You don't get "no" latency - you get compound latency. Don't believe me?
230 before OB. Funny, that.
