Nothing to worry about except the precise details of what they're doing about region locking. I don't want to play in Europe and shouldn't be limited, I get 60-90ms to east coast servers and fully intend to play them.

If I can't, I'll proxy it, it'll push me up to 180-220ms completely unnecessarily as a result of what is purely a poor decision for customers.

Welcome Brollywood and thanks for sharing whatever you can.

You have mentioned beta access. Does that mean that you plan to hand out beta keys like PCGAMER US issue did? Or in another way that means easier access for euro players?

I have a question. Will the cash shops be split based on IP address? How will sales work if SoE and Pro7 are running on the same servers?

Yay, someone who's here just to answer our european concerns!
I wasn't expecting that, that's a good thing.


I have a question, then!

You've stated that US and EU players will be able to play together, which is a good thing, but I still wonder...

Does it mean there will be a single game client for both US and European players?
That would be great, as it'd also mean EU players won't need to worry about updates being released later than US ones.

I would assume that they still split the regions, means you need a different account to play on the SOE servers. But, you can create a different account, and not get a message telling you that you are unable to play in this region.

I would be suprised if they just completly got rid of the Pro7 accounts alltogether and keep everything in your SOE account.

Re: Smed Tweets update on ProSieben Deal


What I'm hoping for is that the game client is the same everywhere and that the ingame store is the same for all players, EU servers and US. So a rifle costing 1000 Station Cash would hopefully also cost 1000 PSS1 virtual points.

The difference in pricing between US and each different EU region as well as who gets the money, SOE or PSS1, would be calculated at the time when the player purchases the virtual cash.

The only two problems I see are...

First, people will undoubtedly bitch that a 1000 Point Rifle to a US player not equal in value to the same 1000 Point Rifle to a EU player. This would need to be taken care of by the marketing/account departments on a region by region case, which is a major headache that has had a lot of people bitching over it for a very long time. Example would be Valve and their policy of charging 15 euros in EU for a $15 game in the US.

Second, If SOE does a sale when PSS1 doesn't or vice versa they will each need to consider the other to make sure they don't step on their partner's toes. This could... No, it will cause a lot of headaches with virtual cash sales for both companies. Additionally, making sales on specific in game items could potentially require a lot of coordination between both SOE and PSS1.

Brolly, feel free to pick and choose parts of that at will to confirm (if you can). Whatever you're willing to throw at us. So far you've been a massive help and pretty much all my worries have already been laid to rest. Now I'm just speculating to speculate and satisfy my curiosity.
