19:20 (16:20 for full thing) Should we be worried about this or is this nonsense?

IDK how I feel really. I guess spreading the wealth is not such a bad thing actually. Especially if what they are thinking is true in that SOE needed/wanted up front money to get the IP launched successfully....

EDIT: Perhaps it's a matter of man power. And the cost involved initially with handling that amount of man power. Hence the need to partner globally to get everything right in time for launch as far as localization goes and such.

I'm personally kind of worried, there's too many things to expect.

Like they said, Pro7 can do whatever they want when it comes to marketing.

Every other game that has had a EU partnership has failed.

Not trying to be negative but I don't see how pro7 will change history. It's all done because of Different laws in EU to US.

If it's done because of laws, do those laws only affect F2P titles? Because it wasn't handled that way for PS1.

I believe SOE sold it because they were never really good in advertising the european market. Pro7 therefore have huge advertising abilities in europe. Nevertheless european players should worry.

SOE can either hire people to work 24/7 for tech support for the WORLD, or contract it out to another company to lighten the load, thus making a better experience for all players.

Now that the issue is resolved that allows my over seas buddies to play with me, I fully support the use of another company to handle support, servers and account information.

Sorry If you think I'm clueless. But please Point me in the right direction of MMO that has worked with EU/US partnership....

I just hate being palmed off..

It's not about region lock, were worried about the way Pro7 is going to handle Planetside 2.
