Hi charleswagner22,

You are free to play on any Server you like and can switch between them at any time from the SimCity Launcher. There are no language or location restrictions on servers, so you can play with your friends from around the globe, and connect with players from all over the world. The geographic location of your server won't affect your gameplay or cause any lag or loading issues.

It's not just the language, the games cost more on the non-US EA/Origin stores.  Part of the whole internet business model is the reliance on your BILLING ADDRESS, not you current location.  Agreements were set up to allow the sales of digital media so that borders don't matter for your location (a la buying iTunes apps while overseas).

I don't understand why EA/Origin can't follow the same model as almost every other international digital media corporation...
