Region locking an MMO.. makes no sense at all!
Hope this will be cleared up.
if we are stuck with region locks you may want to clarify where countries like Australia and New Zealand fit in as so far theres on mention of US and EU servers
In the BETA EU, UK, AU and NZ were compatible playing with each other.. luckily.
nice can I have another.Quote:

I've been looking into the what region locking is and taking into account Sledge saying he misspoke. I've read that 99.9% of all XBOX 360 games ARE region locked, including the popular ones like CoD an so on. Most of the region locking stops Asia playing with the EU and US/CAN. So for all those wanting to rage, complain and so forth stop now (including me) and wait for ACCURATE information and confirmation. I've experienced game devs inaccurately spew information in live feeds before launch on the spur of the moment plenty of times. I will however complain about Trion's attempt to attend to our concerns, considering we are so close to launch and people have actually cancelled pre-orders. Never known a company to handle stuff in relationship to this so poorly, then again I don't know what goes on behind scenes and closed doors, then again seen results do make more of an impact than the word of someone who previously got their facts wrong. Sounds mean but true (constructive criticism)
Nevertheless I will wait and take 1 Molotov just in case it's not the news I want to hear. :) Do not make me use it >:(
^^^m$ in the past has done region lock by language not the b.s. here!
Thanks sledge. This will hopefully shut a few people up, as they just want to know why its like this just for the 360. I'm guessin its something that cannot be avoided or worked around. I'mone of those who's been moaning BTW, so I understand.
Once thats out of the way, I hope that Trion will still work with microsoft to see if, further down the road, they could find a solution. But would likely fid it easier with defiance 2 in 3 years time, hopefully with microsoft having found ways to open their security restrictions a little (I pulled that out of my arse, but really hope this to be successful and garner a next gen upgrade)
Haha I don't think that is going to happen...Quote:
