Region Locking - Details Coming

[Nomad N7]

I keep checking this topic hoping for a answer. Tomorrow is Friday last day to preorder online and get it on release date. I need to know like now.

Where you from mate?

I'd really like to know ASAP aswell. As an Australian it's very important to know the server set up; if this game follows normal region locking procedure it kind of voids the point of an MMO for me. If there's the standard AU/NZ region locking on an Asian-Pacific server, the ingame population will be a random mash up of English, Malay, Thai, Japanese, Mandarin, Samoan, Korean, Tonganese, Tok Pisin, Vietnamese etc players. It doesn't usually matter, but given that the appeal of MMO's is that they're more social in nature, it really creates a barrier when the only English speaking players come from two small countries with small populations.

Not sure how Easter works elsewhere but in the UK today will be the last day to order to get it Tuesday as Friday is a bank holiday..

Are we talking "region" locking for more than trying to limit lag?

I played Mass Effect 3 multiplayer with a bunch of people from Europe, and one Japanese guy who tested out his English by swearing at me. No big lag I noticed, but that was a small crowd compared to the potential number of people playing this game at once.

Perhaps someone knows how much computing power is required for WoW to work acceptably, and whether Defiance is ready to ramp up that high if the game gets popular and stays there. Not that *I* expect to play it forever...

This is starting to get a bit ridiculous. An announcement for an announcement that requires an update? At some point Trion has to realize how unprofessional the lack of information is becoming.

Amen. Exactly what Iam thinking, this behaviour is so unprofessional, makes Trion look ridicilous, they seem to be too stupid to type a short info and stick it in the xbox forums, which would be work for lets say 5-10 minutes...

But hey, they have a new Defiance video up! That makes it better right? /sarcasm off

Edit: I think Sledge feels that telling is he has not forgotten about this issue is the "touch base" post you are looking for.
