True but do they care? That's the big question.

We know for a fact that SOE cares... the problem is that we don't know if Pro7 does. One can only hope that SOE didn't completely "sell us out", and put up certain.. "demands" regarding how the game and it's users are treated in the EU.

Tbh I already feel sold out as is it not SOE that we will be dealing with for this game. Still don't see why SOE did this with an unknown company with a low track record and little to know mmo experience. I'll never understand corporate bs lol. We will see how it all unfolds. If it fails SOE will get a bad rep In the EU I recon.

I belive they don't have the infrastructure to cope with EU laws and provideing the customer service that the game requires.

I don't know have they have provided it in the past possibly from another vendor like pro7 just we never knew the name. I think pro7 possibly is one of the few that can provide the size of the community but pro7 have maybe demanded their name to be known.

I just hope they keep away from pay 2 win.

Here is a re-cap for all of you who can't read 16 pages of gripe;

Taken from the above link;
To our European customers,

We wanted to let you know that SOE will no longer be selling pre-paid game cards in Europe as of 07/20/12.

As we begin to transition our games to our European partner, ProSiebenSat.1 Games, customers will be able to take advantage of new methods of payment including pre-paid options, such as PaySafe, via their new ProSiebenSat.1 accounts.

IMPORTANT: For the few European customers who have already purchased an SOE pre-paid game card but have not yet redeemed it, please visit www.soe.com/gamecards now to redeem it! You must redeem any existing SOE pre-paid game cards before 07/23/12. If you experience any problems with your game card redemption, please contact SOE customer service at www.soe.com/support for assistance. Don't forget to mark your calendars for July 23rd 2012 and redeem your SOE pre-paid game cards before then!

Thank you for your continued support!
Sony Online Entertainment

So SOE and PS7 will have different methods of accepting player payment.

The SOE Pro7 FAQ link

---;
Can players continue to use Station Cash?

European players will be able to use a new virtual currency similar to Station Cash.
----------

this -is- happening, and I say for all of us in the EU to take a step back and relax while Pro7 gets a handle on things. The SOE / Pro7 Rep is active on these boards, and I think you will see a lot of support from the local Pro7 community once it begins to spool the SOE partnership up.

Lets hope the toast doesn't land butter-side-down, and make the best of this transition.

Damn does that mean that account transfers are only week away? Could it mean that we will need Pro7 account even for beta? (it was said there will be EU beta servers soon). Now i hope i wont be picked into beta as it would be waste of key and someone else could use that, as i wont be able to play it without account.

BNuts · 2012-07-18, 04:04 PM

Smed said that they ae getting the EU servers up as we speak. EU guys look for beta invites soon?

I am in a pickle though.. I live primarily in the US, but at the moment I am in Germany. I wonder if I too will have to go Pro7 for the duration of my EU stay since I have a Germany IP address..

FML if that is the case, because I still get paid in US Dollars.. Buying anything in-game related will suck..

Answers to follow with Basti and I plus a few others going to GamesCON next month to ask allot of these questions regarding EU PS2 and Pro7vthat are yet unanswered. I'll video the interview if they are cool with it.

Hmm I wonder why continental Europeans would get paranoid about having their personal information sold out to a giant German media empire?
