I need to agree with him. Having EU players in our region would only make keeping a MMOFPS lag-free even harder.

Sorry to you EU guys, I know your community for gaming isn't quite so big as it is here in NA

Dont force to play under different company and im all for region lock. Otherwise ill play on server where i can keep my SOE account even if it mean higher ping.

But really both views on region lock was already said in this thread and was resolved. Read it all before posting.

Well Im pretty sure there will not be a New Zealand server so Im going to be forced to join an overseas server. As NZ is part of the Commonwealth I would probably be locked to the EU server, which would be on the other side of the Globe and create MAD lag for me. Im hoping I can join a West coast US server as I suspect the lag would be less, so I hope they don't lock me into pingin to EU. I am sorry if this ruins you gaming experience....., actually, no, Im not, for I too am looking for a gaming experience that suits me.., not you. So I hope they don't region lock the servers.

Again.

There is no Region Lock. Done. Period. Finished. Stop.

Assuming that I, a US player can not play on a US server because too many Euros have poplocked the server is the same as assuming that there is going to be only one server.

Sorry, but that's just dumb. SOE will of course have multiple servers, probably a little more than enough for each region's population load. Also populations have a tendency to sort themselves out since most people go to where they can play the 'most reliably with the most people' rather than the 'with most people the most reliably'.
