I wonder if there will end up with a true international server for official release, though? For sure IMC is wanting to do an international beta to show the rest of the world the game, but in the end most countries/geographic areas will get their own servers. Like…For RO, it was said to be “international” but really it was focused on North America with no IP ban. So marketing and community was focused on that, because at that time there were other companies servicing Europe, South America, Philippines, etc… And at this point, at least in IMC’s decision, they have chosen to block people from countries that already have publishers for the iCBT. NA publishers don’t tend to IP block though, so it’ll probably be okay.
I, myself, really enjoy playing with people of other countries, even if their English isn’t perfect. However, I’m sure we can all think back to at least one time that communities from certain parts of the world made our gameplay less than enjoyable, hahaha…
