There is a very good reason why they took it down other than "server issues", you know. There was a bug that allowed people to hex edit their pokemon to make the game think they originated in Kalos, then import them with Pokebank and use them in official Kalos only tournaments.
Also, not releasing it everywhere at once is probably just so that the servers don't get completely flooded. You'll probably see it in a week or so when traffic from Europe calms down a bit.

I know about that hack, and I know they delayed it to prevent their Intel 486 server (the only one they have from the looks of it, lol) from exploding. By poor practice I mean they felt that leaving people in the dark was a good idea.
If they have a global server you may underestimate the sheer amount of people that would try to connect to it if they went for a global launch. There's a reason games with online never work properly in the first few days/weeks (which is also one of the reasons why always online DRM is terrible).
They get no slack from me, considering the logic they had of trying a worldwide release on Christmas Day, when tens of thousands of other people would just be connecting to register their new Wii Us, 3DSes, and get their free games for their bundles, on top of the people trying to connect to Bank. What were they thinking? 
They didn't do a worldwide release though, right? IIRC it was Japan only and it still managed to break servers. (apparently their code was also kind of bad in a way that it opened several connections to the eShop, Nintendo Network AND the Pokebank server at the same time so that would not have helped)They get no slack from me, considering the logic they had of trying a worldwide release on Christmas Day, when tens of thousands of other people would just be connecting to register their new Wii Us, 3DSes, and get their free games for their bundles, on top of the people trying to connect to Bank.

Well, I'm in Europe so I'll download it as soon as I get home. Finally I can use my experimental BW2 team on X/Y. Also should be able to complete the whole dex now.

He probably doesn't live in the US, but somewhere else
It is NOT available for North America yet, but I expect that it will be either this week or next week.

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
