There has been a long standing debate on where the servers are located for NA. The question has finnaly been answered by EmE.

Where are TERA's servers located?
Our servers are located in a Savvis datacenter in Chicago, which we selected because it has world-class infrastructure and facilities that are designed to avoid single points of failure that could lead to outages.
After extensive research we picked Savvis and AboveNet for bandwidth provisioning because they're both excellent Tier 1 service providers. While we could have selected bandwidth providers that provide cheaper service, MMO players would be able to tell the difference in terms of the quality of their gameplay experience - the providers we selected have excellent latency and service characteristics.
And we chose Chicago, again after extensive research, because it is a major peering hub that's near the "center of population" of the United States and Canada. Based on our testing, it has some of the best connectivity and lowest latency to the greatest number of players in North America.

Close to home. Good stuff.
Excellent. I'm glad they decided to answer this, as some companies are so up-tight about their server locations, it really pisses me off when I need to use a ping boosting program due to crappy ISP in my apartment complex (although I still experienced zero lag on TERA so I assume this won't be necessary).
Good stuff that even close to us the Euro Trash, I might have actually good ping in the CB2 test next weekend.
How do you check our latency in game btw, havent seen it yet.
oh and for the English EU server are they hosted also in Germany ?
This is very close to me, thanks for the promising news.
