Nice! Good to know they actually were listening.

If all goes well this thread might need to be renamed.

[Crator]

New thread name if they've fixed it. "Planetside 2 was going to be region locked but SOE realized this was a mistake and changed it! (YAY Sony)"

Keep the thread as it is until we see it in action.

You mean until launch? That's a bit silly. Obviously there are more details to come, but I think a tweet from Smed counts as an offical announcement and his tweet was not vague.

Players will not be locked into a region. It's official.

Yeh they said they would rotate home conts in planetside 1 every couple of months too or re-patch the reaver armour. Lets just wait and see what happens come release.

Let the thread die provided its a good solution it can always be resurrected if they backtrack

On region locked chinese servers on the chinese localized client.

On a dedicated set of servers in China. Well thats my crazy punt of an answer

[Coreldan]

I believe it's "The9" that publishes the game in china, much like Pro7 does so in Europe.

9 rings for the elven kings, over beyond the sea. 7 rings for those that Basti brings, over in the Euro. and 3 rings for USA and SOE, those who made the game be.

Are they region locked? Or do they just have their own servers?
