In my opinion as someone that's played since vanilla launch, no. It's my favorite MMO of all time, but the server move has brought the game from being on the edge of playable (although you'd never be able to 1v1 someone in NA unless they were significantly worse than you), to being unplayable for any challenging or PvP content. I'm playing in Taiwan and I used to have 180 ping. I was rough, but still enjoyable and you'd just have to learn to dodge things earlier than the animation in pve. I still loved pvp, but dodging on react to some of the moves just wasn't possible, it was all trying to predict patterns. Now with the server move to US East coast, I've got 240-260 ping and the game is just no longer playable. With how many AUS and Asian players the game has, I just have no idea at all why they opted for US E instead of central or even west servers. The only people outside of the US that benefit from the server move are west Europeans, but they'd just play on their own servers anyway, so I just can't find the logic behind Anet's decision. Especially since it's AWS servers and they could basically flip a switch and relocate to Chicago or any other good central node. Anyway, the game is a great game, I guess try a free account and see how bad your lag is, but due to latency alone I can't recommend it for anyone from Asia or Australia.
