Limited Copies Reserved only for Europe. Reasoning?

[Faelandaea]

As far as I know, the copies are regional. So you should have a chance at a NA copy, unless you need a EU copy due to your initial registration being with a EU code, since you play on a EU server?

I cannot even remember how I got my code initially. I think I am using an NA code come to think of it. But, I had to face-palm at myself because I thought the SALES were regional. So the physical copies are different somehow? Is it the PAL vs. NTSC (did I even get that right?) stuff that console players have to deal with? And I think PC players have to deal with this as well on some older machines, though we can get drives that can read both regions. I am unsure if they have stuff like that for console players also. I just re-looked at their list of goodies in CE and i guess there indeed IS a disk included with the game on it. I thought physical CE was just eye candy and we'd have to download the game via the client like I did when i originally bought the game.

And you are right - I edited my post and took out the "people hate america" remark because politics belong on blogs, not gaming forums. Just frustration and watching WAY too much CNN pried in there.

But wow . . . that Facebook update . . . not a good outlook for our launch either. If I lived in the EU I'd be furious right now. Especially for those who wanted to reserve their copy before work/school/war/etc.
