There's been a lot of fuss about this on the eqloft boards (the official
UBISoft site - UBI is the Euro distributor for EQ) and there has been some
movement on the part of UBI, however still a LOT of confusion and many many
European players are saying they will just stick with the US servers and
paying the extra import charges for ordering POP from the US or Canada to
have it on time.
for example:
still no official announcment on a /movelog
POP still only available in Europe well after the US - even from the SOE
online store it appears that delivery will be weeks later
Still no info on whether the US/UK version of POP will work in France,
Germany (and they seem to have completely forgotten about the REST of
Europe.....)
The big problem seems to be that if you want to play on both US and Euro
servers you will have to buy a WHOLE new version of the game for the Euro
servers......
<sigh>

Subject: NERVs and new servers (Re: [EverQuest] Any comments on the
changes?)
i wouldn't say those changes are nervs ... imho this "balancing" only
effects how some "ueber" guilds were able to raid (and farm) some
(high level) places.
what really annoys me, and i don't think this will affect most of the people
in
this group, but european players, is how PoP and the new
servers will be "introduced" to non-US players. from what i read so
far, those new servers will not show up on the normal server
selection. also there will be a US-PoP and a non-US-PoP distribution.
only the UK version of PoP can be used to upgrade to the US-version
OR the non-US version (but it is a one way ticket, with no option to play on
both kinds of servers). all other european version will only
connect to the new/european servers. options, how current accounts
can be converted from an US to a non-US version, are not officially
availible, yet. also there is no comment if a "movelog" will be
possible.
why i am so concerned about it? because i am from germany.
and i use EQ as sort of a vaction from my job. in the last weeks,
many events made it no real enjoyment for me anymore. and after some
RL friends moved from Tarew Marr to Solusek Ro, i really started to
think about my EQ-future. i thought about moving the highest level
char from each of my four accounts (would be $200). also i stopped
going after items, but only more exp (to save the spells) and i
really try to finish my (mage) epic, because this is the only epic
that can be moved with you (because it is a spell). there are also
some othere reason, why i don't want to loose all the time, energy
and nerves i invested in collecting the items in the last 18 months.
but with those PoP annoucements i really have to make up my mind
again: is the EQ addiction really worth all the pain it gives me?
