Sign up for EU beta also, and you can play every weekend.

I was having trouble with redirects earlier so I didn't pursue it at the time; gave it another shot, got through, and now I'm just waiting for the e-mail.

To do this, do you need to download an EU client?

**Hitoshura** · 2012-02-17 02:10

^My question as well, starting to actually run short on space here.

**Avarice** · 2012-02-17 02:37

I would assume so. My worry is more about if the NA and EU clients will conflict with each other in some way; space isn't an issue (1TB HDD with a 2TB Ext. HDD).

**Hitoshura** · 2012-02-17 02:56

Damn you all. I feel like a moron for waiting to get a 1TB HD when it was on sale for $69. I don't know why but HD prices are a LOT higher now than they were and this blows.

**Eddard** · 2012-02-17 03:04

My local Fry's Electronics is nearly out of all internal HDD's claiming flooding in Taiwan is the reason.

I knew something had to be up, that's pretty crazy. I am at 165 free space and only other game now I am going to install/play until TERA is probably ME3. I hope they recover from that soon.

how does this game differ from other mmorpgs?

It's not a wow clone, and in a good way.

Uhh... different combat, different PVP, 100% more lolis (and pedos playing), different gear system (single weapon for each class that gets upgraded/replaced), different guild system (guilds can do more than screw one another out of drops and collapse under their own weight), and I think that's about the long and short of it.

Oh, the people in it are pretty.

Can you explain the guild bit? Other than GvG combat and the political system, is guild management done in a substantially different way from other MMOs?

**Foxer** · 2012-02-17 11:36

It's not.

**Eddard** · 2012-02-17 14:05

For EU beta access, I have some questions about getting this going.

To get access to the client d/l, you need to make an account on the EU site, right? And can I just get like an amazon.com beta code to give me access?

Also, do I need to do the whole proxy ip like the JP client? I'm sure I don't have to worry about changing OS regions and such.

You explained it perfectly. That's different from other MMOs.

EU requires a separate download and an EU account. Can buy the code from frogster or amazon.de, but not amazon.uk. Unsure of any others.

Not from NA to EU.

I'm not sure about Amazon, but I did a pre-order from their EU shop; they had an option for "Mini-Standard Edition" or something like that, so I only had to pay €5 down. Code took like an hour or two to arrive, and then it let me download the client. Just finished installing it, and was able to get connected without a proxy, so you shouldn't need one.

**Hitoshura** · 2012-02-17 15:36

Wow so apparently this whole time EME was just gauging if I was truly ready the CE. You only have to put $5 down but they still take out the $96.55 it would be for a few days and refund $91, they say they will be charging it when it actually ships and only charging for the pre-order and giving me access to betas. Well looks like I can pick up the collectors edition of mass effect 3 until then lol.
