As you might have guessed, I've already made my choice. |

It might not even be a detail within the main contract but be specified within protocols and SOP's. As long as SoE recieves revenue from European players for their input and Pro7 also receives revenue and both are able to cover their costs and make the expected profit then - ie there is 'wiggle room'. I would expect there will be Euro players playing on US Servers and US players playing on EURO servers and it will all balance out (pretty much). I think there is at least a good possibility of a compromise. |

As European my soe account is now clean of personal info, credit card.,subscriptions.it just have email and its' ready to be dumped if EU Vets are not in beta AND no regional lock is implemented,plus there is no way my data goes in any other hand other than SOE.
Maybe in the US Sony can do that, but here this unclear movement of personal data just screams "EU costumer's rights commission here,please!". If this pass we can just file a complaint to Strasburg and they'll handle it... |

Granted, "special EU content" may also simply refer to something harmless like specific cosmetics or events (as I mentioned in another thread... lederhosen beerfests - I mean those guys ARE situated in Munich).
However, if it's not properly sealed contractually, interpretation may cause problems. And remember, it's not the baby of these guys, it's their new cash cow. They have different emotions, motives and ethics regarding the properties they acquire. |

I only played PS1 on a free trial (as I morally object to subscription fees). But when I did play I was taken under wing by a mostly BRIT outfit.
I was looking forward to PS2 as a new game to get away from EA's disgrace BF3. But all I see here is the SAME BS that EA pulled with BF3, not the splitting the community part, but the BS line of "Oh we are listening" and then they go and do EVERYTHING the community begged for them not to do. For no apperant reason other than a suit told the devs to. These guys at SOE pretty much INSTANTLY lost any credibility with me and all of my friends that were planning on joining the PS2 community. Its an absolute disgrace that they are dumping their fan base for a quick buck, but in the end they will lose so much fucking money that FANNIE MAY will be like " ah man you guys fucked up, lol" To bad Higby, you had at least 15 more players until this fucking joke. Unfortunatly I'm positive SOE could give 2 shits about 15 players. |

I found an update on the PS2 twitter that linked to their facebook, showing that they ARE LISTENING! (maybe...) |

As a side note, I thought this might be of interest to you all:
From Wikipedia: As of 2006, overseas satellite links accounted for only 1 percent of international traffic, while the remainder was carried by undersea cable. The reliability of submarine cables is high, especially when (as noted above), multiple paths are available in the event of a cable break. Also, the total carrying capacity of submarine cables is in the terabits per second while satellites typically offer only megabits per second and display higher latency.

It's no secret that in F2P type games your usual paying customer easily spends 2-3 times more money on the game than with the more "traditional" payment models like retail cost and/or subscription model.
That said, there will be a lot of free players too, but obviously the payment model is succesful, seeing that just about anything but the outright biggest names have moved to it.

Technically SOE is not moving the accounts for us. From what I understand, we have to make new accounts, after which a transfer of goods and characters can be initiated, probably through an appeal.
At least, that's what I understood from the FAQ: it'll be our choice to make a new account with ProSieben. Of course there seems no alternative other than quitting, so it's not much of a choice. Let's see what Smedley's discussions bring as he tweeted they are trying to find a way to let us all play together afterall. Last edited by Figment; 2012-02-23 at 05:11 PM. |

yes it's a clever way to say you actually made actively the transfer..i bet the whole procedure will be entitlet "register here to play online" and not "press here to let us copy your data to a third party server". consensus must be explicit, if not it's just a scam...
