All flames aside (and you guys *have* to get new hobbies if you're reduced to figuring out whether or not you care if one side dies before the other in a free-exchange of nuclear weapons), here's some PlanetSide-specific answers:
- We haven't made the decisions about whether Europe will be in the Limited Beta test or not. The explanations that PookySam offered (lag sensitivity and time-zone issues) are the main considerations in whether this will occur.

- There will be Europe-specific server clusters. Two of them are currently planned. This is done to reduce lag and prevent any occurrences of bad "Day One" issues as you've seen in other MMOs.

- Even if no Europeans make it into Limited Beta, they will still be added to External Beta.

That's all the info for now.
