Most companies realize by now that scheduled betas/alphas are a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE way to test a game.

Oh don't worry if you start seeing us Mamma mia in weeks or days we won't be just piigs(just in case PIIGS=Portugal,Ireland,Italy,Grece,Spain) , we will have a lot more friends to play with, starting with a little cock followed by a drolling bulldog, an eagle , we will get some pokemon too, oh i almost forget frau Merkel. And the poor panda will be excluded (after all he is an endagered specie no?).

Imagine what a big market for soe it would be no?

OMG i realy need another kick of information from SOE.

/facepalm

Scheduled betas are usually a temporary measure until they can get the infrastructure working to have it run 24/7. At this point in the beta, player feedback isn't really as important as technical feedback that they gather on their end from us simply trying to all log on and screw around.

A lot of this^^. Though I have been involved in a few betas that did scheduled ONLY.

And why is this a bad thing? Do you think european players play worse than american ones? Do you think 99% of Europeans cannot understand english?
If you're just complaining about the ping I can understand that xD

Maybe SOE foresaw this problem, and that's why there'll be EU servers operated by Pro7...

You're still wrong, the true Eastern world is China (and Korea and rest of Asia), both historically and geographically. (Although due to the wonderous way nature made our planet, we still think of all those places as further 'West' of the United States - at least in NA we do.)

Well, looks like they've established a date, even though the date is not mentioned
