For me dedicated was better. I am lagging all over the place on this.
Also saturday was disconnection fest and a LAGorama.
It wasn't so before we went on dedicated so I dunno what gives.

Oh and I am from Europe myself.

No disconnects except saturday when the server was screwed.
Don't know if it's just me but the dedicated server seemed a little faster to me.
I whine, therefore I am

In my case, dedicated is better overall. I get constant lag on dedicated one and less lag on Irming's, but on Irming's i get huge lag spikes from time to time, wich makes the dedicated one better in average since i rather constant lag knowing what i can count with, than random huge lag spikes that makes my char die everytime they hapen.
I seem to be only player with this problem, so i'm just speaking on my behalf and from my own experience.

dedicated had 120-130 ping this has 140-160 ping. I prefer dedicated any day if we don't allow 3d on irmings place. I simply cannot play

I'm limited on the current server, no PvP and the higher end PvM is risky. I still manage just like before, but dedicated was much more useful in my situation.

I find dedicated server more smooth to me.
After moving back to Irming's server, I had experienced some servere lagging a few times.
Sometimes I even got disconnected while my friends are still in the game.
So I guess I would vote for the dedicated server. :D

I want it to be known we appreciate all the work you've put into this Irming(Boris and others also with the dedicated), and I'm sure I speak for others when I say we're happy we can play this game for FREE. If giving some donations for a shard that's been open for 10 years is the only way we can ALL play lag free, then I say we band together and get this shit done.

Unite and donate!

This poll is now useless, as Irming has already made a new contract.

Miracles happen. Pang will be running on a steady, dedicated server.

Ps. Don't forget to donate to keep the line.
