SOE's made many mistakes in the past, but one thing it's always done right is allowing people to play with each other no matter which side of the Atlantic they were on. Now they've signed a deal that rips apart countless communities. Personally I was looking forward to playing Planetside 2 with my old multi-national outfit, but now I won't be able to.
Can players still access the U.S. servers?
Under the new partnership between SOE and ProSiebenSat.1 Games, European players of the above mentioned SOE games will be able to play via ProSiebenSat.1 Games's service and will not have access to U.S. servers. However, existing EverQuest II players in Europe that have played on U.S. servers before the transition will be allowed to continue playing on those servers through their SOE accounts.
Can U.S. players log on to the European servers?
U.S.-based players will have access to the U.S. servers only.
