I'd had no problems with any of this if they'd declared earlier that everyone will have the same priority [concering beta]. Vets, however, are confirmed to be the highest priority along with pcgamer keys. I will feel quite bad if no europeans are let in the beta while a lot of US players without vet status / pcgamer keys are let in :/

I must admit, I'm a bit drunk, but not a single dev has commented on this in ages; will Euro players be let in the closed beta / tech test?

Fine time for me to be moving to England.

Look at my post and the post below mine, it has the information from the president of SOE himself.

Higby's post says vets and anyone with a beta key are all priority. He doesn't list tiers of who's more important and he says "as well as" when referring to keys given out by devs not "then" as if they are less of a priority.

Fixed.

this whole EU exclusion thing smells of the SWTOR beta all over again

helioN · 2012-07-14, 03:17 PM

IT'S NOT NA ONLY LOOOL.

NA players get the game a little bit earlier, the EU servers are READY RIGHT NOW.

But i agree, region lock sucks big time.

EU will also get into the beta, only later. How much later we do not know. But since the EU beta servers are ready it will probably happen very fast. Also smedley said a few days ago on twitter:

Mardil ‏@MardilVoronwe
@j_smedley Is the tech test NA only?

John Smedley‏@j_smedley
@MardilVoronwe We will be doing a European one as well.. very soon.

And the reddit link:

it will not be NA only, but we will start with NA. We have a European server ready to go for it but we're starting with NA.

Chill out man, region lock is for beta only they already confirmed no region lock when it comes to the real game.
