I'll start by saying that I'm not expecting any people who are in the Beta to tell me as apparently that's breaking the NDA or some such.
What I would like to know is if any EU players have been given beta keys as I'm pretty sure I read that the servers will be in North America only at launch. Now I understand that there will be no IP blocking to stop EU players from connecting to NA servers, however, playing on NA servers from England can create some awful latency issues.
Now I can't speak for anyone else but my ISP will allow me to contact them with information about a new games server IP address and they will make sure that any traffic that goes to that IP will have fewer hops and faster access to the server with little to no packet loss. As I am sure you can understand, this is quite a useful service especially when trying to connect to NA servers from all the way over the pond.

Now before I get flamed to hell, this is not me asking to get into the Beta as I doubt I would fit the criteria, I just think that for the game to be successful over here as well as America then getting EU players into the beta would be invaluable for the dev's to ensure server stability and a successful launch.

Pretty sure they would have EU people in the Beta, they want to make sure all the servers handle EU players fine.

Only makes sense, right? If no IP blocking, and they know they will get a number of EU hoping over to play with t heir NA buddies. Testing, testing testing, what Beta tends to be for.
