i just got an email from sony that says a German company with an awful track record in gaming is going to be handling all of the EU side of many of sonys games including Planetside 2. now i planned to play Planetside 2 on a US server to play with many of the friends i have made over the years in other games. however something i discovered on the DCUO forums has distressed me greatly.


Can players still access the U.S. servers?
Under the new partnership between SOE and ProSiebenSat.1 Games, European players of the above mentioned SOE games will be able to play via ProSiebenSat.1 Games’s service and will not have access to U.S. servers. However, existing EverQuest II players in Europe that have played on U.S. servers before the transition will be allowed to continue playing on those servers through their SOE accounts.

Can U.S. players log on to the European servers?
U.S.-based players will have access to the U.S. servers only.

if this is true of Planetside 2 then im going to be locked out of playing with many of my friends. and really who wants to play a massive strategic game like this alone?
