I can't tell you how many times i've joined a friend or guild member in FSC, and halfway though the run i notice i'm on the European server. which follows with huge ****ing amounts of lag, getting hit by everything (including things that look like they missed on my screen), and other rage inducing things.
Give some kind of warning when your about to join a different server (US if in Eur and Eur if in US). I get enough lag as it is, I don't need my latency to be halfway across the globe.

This belongs in suggestions.
It would be nice to have some kind of indication of server location before joining a party. Not necessary a warning that pops up, but something like when you hover over a friend/guildie, you can see the server (maybe with 'U' for US or 'E' for European) beside the number of people.

With some color coding this could work quite well. Nothing glaring or obtrusive, but enough for you to know the color of your local server and tell when you see the color of another server. (preferably with the location of the server appearing on mouse hover, assuming OOO ever adds more servers, plus to make it easier on colorblind folks.)
