That's not the whole truth. During the cbts there was also the discussion about server location etc. since the performance at these times totally sucked. And while the game servers are indeed in germany, a lot of information like character info and auction trader stuff is shared and indeed coming from the us as does the login stuff. That was the official statement from ncsoft during cbts. I don't think they changed the server infrastructure completely. That also explains the simultaneous maintenance in Europe and US which is annoying by itself since the european times are in the afternoon..... And it might explain how on earth european servers can have problems in the middle of the night when there are only few people around in europe but a lot in the US.

Truth has been spoken...

Completely agree, Here I will explain it more in technical way.

The game lay into two parts, First one is about the whole database for the server like Character information, Arena score,etc while other part is just simple updating the location of Characters and NPCs/Mobs/Bosses.
 

So the database part located into Texas- USA while Updating location and hosting game located in German, That mean German server just upload and download data from  both side (Your side and NA side ).
Imagine that impact of that on ping and performance of game,You upload your character data(Items,Arena score, etc) and then German server redirect that data to NA server while it working on updating locations of you character,Mobs,etc then it wait the respond from NA server so it can respond back to you.

 

So it not a really 30ms as you imagine add on them 200ms traffic
