MysticalMelody Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Even when the game is actually meant to be played within North America, can I still play it from outside of the USA? I really really really want to play the game and I'm fearing I might have to wait way longer for the game to finally come to Europe.. that would be unbearable!
Fishflesh Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 chance is about 99.9% every shop in euro shells the usa version.
MysticalMelody Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 That would be cool!! Guess there'd only be a bit of lag then.. but I could live with that The game just seems soooo great!
Luey Fubar Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 I'd only resort to buying a US copy if I had ADSL... which I should be getting in a month or so. I guess I can wait for the european version.
MysticalMelody Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 Anyone has any idea how long it would take till there will be an european version?
Fishflesh Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 i heard the european version is execly the same as the usa version. you can even go on euro servers whit the usa version.

I guess I can wait for the european version. Yeah same, though I realy want the game lol i rather wait due to a few reasons 1. I'll have ADSL [theres going to be alot of patches after it goes live] 2. I'll have a better comp [Mines crap atm, GeForce 2mx 64mb] 3. More bugs will be fixed And for all the people who cry: "we want to be there when it all starts when everything happens, like player houses the first PA's!" well hmm you will be... Coz euro get there own servers. So it will be from the start..
MysticalMelody Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 When will those euro servers be there though? Right when the game gets released or do we have to wait for them? (weeks? months?)
-=ReApEr=- Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 The list of servers will open alphabetical, a-z that is. So a week or more for them to all be open.

(weeks? months?) The Euro servers should open when the games is released over here. I dont think they will open Euro servers while the game is only released in US that would be silly lol Like The Devs said there keeping it in US to test the servers and Iron out all the problems. THEN they will worldwide release SWG
MysticalMelody Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 Damn that sucks... I wanna play already! So I guess that would either mean getting on the usa servers (if possible) and put up with the prolly huge lag, or wait about atleast a month more for the Euro version.. alright that really sucks..
Fishflesh Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 guys there are euro servers at the start uk,german and france only these servers are in the usa on the east side eclipce wil be the uk server
Sim Fubar Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Originally posted by NL_Ackbar guys there are euro servers at the start uk,german and france only these servers are in the usa on the east side eclipce wil be the uk server Realy? so there are not going to be any Europe servers in Europe lol? hmm thats pretty lame... So guess that means no New Europe server when the games is released IN Europe? If so, so much for what i said above lol or wait about atleast a month more for the Euro version.. alright that really sucks.. Hmm if you want to play i would Pre-order the game now from US I hear that the Euro beta testers didnt have much lag on US servers As it could be 2-6months before they release SWG in Europe lol...
MysticalMelody Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 Yeah, I already saw Amazon UK has it set on 26th December this year.. that's way too long considering you could just buy the US version and already be playing like next week..

Yeah i my plan was to wait till Europe release then play with all my friends [Not all want to pre-order + a few of us need to upgrade] And then all start on one of the new Europe servers... BUT if what "NL_Ackbar" says is right.. then we only get 3 servers.. well realy 1 server, yet US get 17 lol? I hope that is not the case
Luey Fubar Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Yep', I know the American game comapnies like doing us over but that would be a kick in the teeth. >_<
SSJ4Goku Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Hey, guys, I'm not a Euro player, but I thought you should know, those servers that are french, german, uk, those are unofficial. You can see for yourself in Q's post: http://boards2.station.sony.com/ubb/starwars/Forum3/HTML/133282.html I know it doesn't really help much, but there ya go, laterz!

Ah good i Guess it will be like AC2 then when the game is released in Europe we will get are own data centre with are own servers, I hope lol, ty for that link or it could mean where only getting 20 servers and there all based in US :\ which will suck for everyone who doent pre order it as they will be going into a pre build server The game is built such that we don’t want to segment the population too much so at this time we do not have an “official” PVP or RPG or German etc Sounds bad :\

swediot=) Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 there will be servers based around the whole world later.... the euro servers will NOT be based in us.... the asian servers will NOT be baswed in us and the Austalasian servers will NOT bbe based in us.... the first twenty servers are all us because its only being released in the us.. why the hell would european servers ever be based in the us??

Woo wooo calm down, i said i am waiting for someone to correct me, but i am right about them opening up in A-Z right? And even the europe servers will open for the US. Is that bit right?
swediot=) Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 wat .. i wasnt trhowing a syke and yes all servers will be open to all players... so for example someone from europe (like my self) who lives outside europe (like myself) can still play on the european servers
setsuko Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Friends, friends, friends. Let me clear up a few...misundestandings in here. The US East Coast servers that you state are European are not European servers. They are unofficial english, german and french servers, meaning that they are just usual servers with a tad more european players on. Oh, and there's a lot of confusion about Eclipse, because some claim it an unofficial UK server, and some claim it an unofficial Europe server. But mind you, these are unofficial european servers, nothing else. They are just 'european' because a lot of players said so. A European server is a server located in Europe. These will exist upon European release, not earlier. These will be located in Europe, and have a lot more europeans on them than the unofficial servers. The opening of servers in alphabetical order after release is only for the US servers. They have nothing to do with European servers. Is it clearer now?
