This is one server only, to keep the "supers" population manageable. This does not mean that someone from Europe would NOT eventually become a super: there are plenty of folks who still have the imported US-server-keyed release of COH/COV. Also, we're allowing for a slight change to the laws of physics from the origin event.
Magic and Natural origins would show up first, of course. Mutants probably won't show up for a few years, and Tech and Science... those are the iffiest. Even without the Event affecting someone directly, they can still be bathed in the mana from the new leyline system connected to the Internet, and Stonehenge and other similar places are beginning to pick up some of the overflow.
Think of it this way; the internet is like a series of irrigation ditches and the old ley lines are river beds. The Event was a flash flood that drenched the Virtue players as it overran the banks of the ditches and sought out the river beds.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
