Good news for Euro players?

From SJ:

- 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.

now, does that mean the Euro servers will be up and running at launch day or something else? I sure hope the Euro servers will be up at the same time as the US servers.

That's a good question, I think a better one is the Euro release day the same. I'm thinking it's not.

I was thinking the Euro release date was different too. Wasn't there a thread somewhere in which a guy was asking about how he would be able to get a copy of the game in Europe right when it was released (he wanted to download it) and SmokeJumper told him that his best bet was to have someone from the US mail him a copy??

That's what made me wonder.......

Well, here's translations issues for Germany and other countries, shipping issues and marketing issues. I think it'll come out about a month after the NA release.

Well, what about us who just want the english (american) version?
Hope it's not gonna be DAoC again...

The way it sounded to me, you'll have to buy it from the US or Canada, have it shipped to you, and then play on US servers until the European release.
