As much as i dont like this out of region debacle, will it ever officially launch in Malaysia? And the region block thing is just that, limited launch.

while they say that "currently" they have no plans on ip or CC blocking i dont think they will do that, not if they want to compete with Activision/Blizzard. Also theyve said that the game is universal, meaning you can play on EU if you bought NA version and vice versa. in other words, it is safe to import the game even if they decide to make an oceanic server later on. Also posted that they receive all major credit cards even if theyre not in the launch regions, im guessing that includes our visa cards. no account support is understandable. i dunno about you guys but 4 years without account support with blizzard and i was fine. monthly sub they say will be on par with other games, im guessing will also be the same as WOW's model.

I for one wont be preordering the game from amazon unless its done in bulk, hoping for some of our local game retailers to bring them in. How they handled this thing kinda sucks (very little official communication) but here's hoping the game can make up for it.

itd be great if they're witholding their launch dates just to gauge international demands but i doubt it at this point.. theyre probably just gonna announce the date close to launch so other competitors will be hard pressed to come up with a counter strategy (diablo 3 beta or maybe a new wow patch?). thats the conspiracy theorist in me speaking

importing is the only way to get this game? no resellers bringing it in?

just wondering, what latency are you guys getting with this game? im using unifi 5mb and while it is playable, my latency always spike from 220ms to 700/800ms.. is that normal with SWTOR servers?

getting around 220-300 in starting zone on new aussie server. hopefully its just because everyone's in one place.. maybe itll get better when there's not many around.
