Well that plain sucks.

[Aedensin]

It does but you have to start small.

Read the comments. They told y'all to wait for news regarding EU players. :/

Not for some of us I'm sure it has to do with the whole money/currency/legal thing.

I'm from Europe, and that did put a bit of a damper on the happiness the beta + packages announcement should have given me.

I'm still hopeful we won't be left out completely in the cold, time will tell.

[Paul Stern]

does the "OPERATION INCEPTION"-assets-limitation to north america mean, that as a european you can´t purchase an founder´s package?

[Redshift2k5]

Might also have to do with the NA servers getting up and running first, and tested, before setting up international servers (which would likely be maintained by a third party),

A link to the info was posted, but the short answer is that only north american severs will be running the founder beta, but they will not stop anyone from outside NA from signing up and playing.

Here's the explanation.

thirdly, the reason this announcement stated 'North America' is that it's for North American servers – As we have mentioned we are working very hard to launch MechWarrior Online in every region worldwide. We may also run a similar Operation for other regions, therefore we are required to recommend that for the best play experience you register and play in your region in the near future. However There is no IP blocking. You can signup from everywhere just keep in mind that if you are outside of North America we cannot guarantee your play experience.

In short:

-The EU (and other region) players can be part of the NA closed beta.
-Anyone can be play in the NA servers.
-Probably anyone can purchase NA founders pack, and play on the NA server, if they want.

Still interested in knowing if we can migrate servers later. Ie. purchase the founders pack for NA, go to EU once it gets it's own server someday and bring all your progress, goodies, premium 'mechs and in-game currency with you.

[Helmer]

Merged.

Hi everyone!
You've probably seen our big news today - Beta signups are official! But how, you ask?
First, log onto the forums; then click profile and it's right there! For greater clarity closed beta starts today! we will be inviting users as soon as tomorrow.
Secondly, how the Founders program beta/early access works: The program is purchasable on June 19th and you gain guaranteed access to the closed beta on July 17th.
Thirdly, the reason this announcement stated 'North America' is that it's for North American servers – As we have mentioned we are working very hard to launch MechWarrior Online in every region worldwide.

Thanks for being the most awesome fanbase ever, and we hope this clears up your questions.
Sincerely,
The MechWarrior Online team.

Number 1 question for me that's been asked many times and never answered in this thread is:

If non-NA players buy the founders pack, can we get our account/c-bills etc moved to another sever when they become avalible? Or is our account stuck on the NA server and will have to start again from scratch on another server?

[Bryan Ekman]

No official word on account migration yet.
