Will the beta be region-locked in the same way as something like Netflix is, so even using the American SOE and servers won't let me into the beta?
The main reason I ask is that I live in a big city with super-fast (Virgin Media) broadband, so my ping to (East Coast) American servers in other games is not too bad, usually around 160, so about the same sort of ping as someone in the US with poor internet connection might have (who F2P MMOs should be catering for). In other words, my internet connection shouldn't be a factor in joining the beta, so are there any other reasons for (potentially) blocking me from the beta?

If you have signed up for Beta or are a former PS1 player there should be no issue with you participating at some point. It will almost certainly be on the US server.
