If you log into your SOE account and click on Payment Sources there's an option there to delete your credit card information. I'm assuming this will actually delete it from their database as well.

The wait and see approach isn't really suitable in this instance. As was evidenced by the initial region-locking response, SOE does listen to the community but only when it speaks. If we sit on our hands we're liable to find that by the time the migration info is released we're past the point of no return. Dart and I have just been discussing this and while we really do appreciate Radar taking the time to respond to this thread - and quickly at that - we do still have some questions regarding this issue;

Question 1: If we have Pro7 accounts linked with our SOE accounts then I take it we have to authenticate our logins via a server in Germany even if we are playing on the US servers? I remember that this was an issue with Werner back in the day where the client had to go across the Atlantic in order to authenticate and make sure that the player was still logged in, this caused unnecessary lag and connection problems.

Question 2: Can we still contact SOE support or will be told to contact Pro7 as SOE cannot help us?

Question 3: We will no longer be able to buy station cash and will have to buy Pro7 deutsche marks or whatever they have. If I were to buy some Pro7 currency can I spend it on a weapon/attachment/camo etc on the US server?

Question 4: Sort of following on from the last question. If I buy something then can I use it on both sets of servers or do I have to buy it twice?

Question 5: In the event that the partnership between SOE and Pro7 comes to an end what guarantee do we have that our accounts will be transferred back over? In Planetside 2 my account will contain all my stats, unlocked weapons (some that I may have paid for) and of course my characters that I will have spent a long time building up. I would like a guarantee that if the relationship does go south then all my hard work will not be for nothing.

I understand that you may not have the answers to these questions but I think SOE needs to get some sort of FAQ for European players up on the Planetside 2 website ASAP because this is only going to get worse as time goes on.

Another one is:

Will there be a price difference between EU and US?

Of course not. That 5$ gun will cost exactly 5€ in the EU

Why paid for weapons ?!

European money is all fake anyway

Which will somehow become exactly £5 in the UK most likely :/

My $15 per month sub that goes to Planetside 1 has to go somewhere

[ringring]

As far as I can see, exactly the same questions as several months ago.

Okay folks, lets end this.

I will be at GamesCom, and Pro7 Folks will be there as well. What about we just collect a whole bunch of questions for them, so we can figure some stuff out, rather than moaning and ranting.
Deal? Sound off if you like the idea, i would start a new thread for questions then.

Your SOE account information will only be linked to ProSieben if you choose it to be. If you are outside North America you are absolutely not under any obligation to sign up for ProSieben but you will not be able to play the game.

I'm hopeful you all will join us.

I do not think you fully understand the complaint. I think what some people find disturbing, is that they are being FORCED to use a third party that they DO NOT TRUST to enjoy a game they've been waiting for.

Its kind of insulting. If it were up to me, I'd say FUCK YOU and not play if I were being forced to use a billing company I have reasons to distrust.

That's a pretty rational idea there Basti. I like your style.
