Really, quit telling them to cut corners and hurry up with the game.

I don't want to wait forever either, but I seriously get pissed off when I see dozens of major game companies copy and paste WoW, but completely ignore why a large part of WoW's success was Blizzard's business practices that backed it up. Like taking pride in the fact that they only ship Finished products and they have a hell bent psychotic tick to make everything balance (whose sense the balance is based on is questionable).

To clarify for anyone about to rail at me for bringing up WoW or Blizzard in a good light, I only advice towards many of Blizzard's positive practices and NOT making another POS WoW clone. One was more than enough.

Anyways, have we confirmation that Pro7(European) players will be allowed play the beta.

Randoms that buy PC Gamer in the US will be allowed play the beta, we have absolutely no confirmation that European Werner Veterans who played PS1 for years will have any such luck.

This is a MAJOR issue and the next one we should be railing about. Railing seems to get SOE\'s attention.

Far as I know, there are no discussions to limit access to beta based on region at this time.

Thanks dude, wasn't aware of that news.

Hi guys, I just wanted to sign up and drop in here and say that EU players won't have to worry - they will also have access to the beta when it launches. You get a key and you get in.

Also, hi from me, I'm the product manager for PlanetSide 2 in Europe.

So as a European, i will 100% be able to play on an American server at full game launch?

I can confirm this. As a European you can play on an American server at full game launch.

I obviously can't answer all pro7/soe deal related questions right now unfortunately, but if you guys can perhaps gather up all your most important questions I'll do my best to feed them through and get you answers where possible.

For everything else, we will have more information as soon as it becomes available.

I understand your trepidation as to my authenticity - it's the internet after all! You could look me up though I guess, maybe take the "Brolly" part of "Brollywood" as a start.

That is my twitter account that was posted yea, although its been gathering cobwebs.

I was actually at GDC for a different title (in my previous company), but I was present at the PlanetSide 2 conference.

Yeah

Made my day! Also thanks for clarifying about the server things. Sounds like we have nothing to worry about now!

Nothing to worry about except the precise details of what they're doing about region locking. I don't want to play in Europe and shouldn't be limited, I get 60-90ms to east coast servers and fully intend to play them.

If I can't, I'll proxy it, it'll push me up to 180-220ms completely unnecessarily as a result of what is purely a poor decision for customers.

Shogun · 2012-03-28, 06:34 AM

if you are not trolling, thank you for the clarification and welcome to the community!

are you allowed to give us some more info about the pro7/soe deal? there are lots of questions.

Arius · 2012-03-28, 06:35 AM

I'll propably play on an EU server, depending on the amount of players, but this is a good thing nontheless!

Valcron · 2012-03-28, 06:40 AM

I really could care less about European players...

Then why the fuck do you post? Get the fuck out of here, then.

Hmh, do we have any way to somehow verify Brollywood is a real deal and not some troll? I'm sure he could use the VIP status as well if we can confirm he's real

Perhaps SOE staff knows if he's real?

I'm gonna play on EU servers myself either way, but the beta news are naturally good news, even if I think this was clarified some time back already.

Looks real to me

Shogun · 2012-03-28, 06:53 AM

yep, looks legit.

seems like pete brolly was at gdc, so one of the devs should be able to confirm his status.
at least the name is connected to games, so i think the chance that he is trolling is very low.

he was brandmanager for deepsilver until this month.

so welcome to the community and congratulations on your new job for the hopefully best game ever!

give some love to the eu players! we feel neglected when it comes to getting info about our situation.
