This is what happened to me actually, i leveled up w/o even noticed it.. and boom.. no more Skirmish.. i rly hope they find a way to fix this smoothly and fast.
You play for free? Open Beta? Don't talk, Else pay 50 Euro Buy the game, and see Queue vanish and than start complaining... as i said, w/e is free no matter what it is, no1 forces you to play, but still you come here to complain... MANNERS..
without being able to validate my opinion i believe that MMOs nowadays are implemented for International clients via INT servers, which i believe are hosted in some central EU or US country and you connect by accessing the best DNS to connect you to whatever server u play. so Ping won't have big difference as long you are…
