Where are the dedicated european servers?

Seriously, where are they? And with dedicated I don't just mean the ones who instead of using a listen server use dedicated and join their own server and shut it down as soon as they are done playing, I mean servers that stay up pretty much 24/7. Since the release we europeans have had absolutely none of these servers and have had to put up with crappy listen servers with immature little brats för admins.

Surely someone in europe should have a server they could make into an esf server right? Anyone?

Oh and this is steam i'm talking about by the way.

I noticed this too. On my dinky lil 56k i get a nice playable ping of like 180 on good european servers, but with the majority of US ones it jumps to 250-350. Makes it hard to move fast.

(I also noticed that there are only 1/3 the amount of servers around since the launch of 1.2, and although that's understandable it dosen't mean that it's a good thing! ;_; )
