International Community ?

When I first read those words I knew one thing: Sold to Americans. It's no secret, most international games (Guild Wars, Florensia, etc..) that go global tend to focus on a American market, more specific, the North American market which is a ripe market for the taking that is free from the dominant Asian gaming giants such as NCsoft. So, I pose this question.:

Will this truly be an international community?

Forget the fact that there is language support and language mods, I meant, is this game truly a full-scale sale at America or a scoop for a global community? I am OK with either, just asking for opinions and general idea here (I don't play much)

-Yours,
Dr. Bean

    The majority of players will be from the US/Canada.

    There will be players from elsewhere, mostly from Europe, some from Autralia/New Zeland, and a few from elsewhere (Mongolia, South Africa, etc.)

    (We are still waiting to see any improvements or changes beign implemented. More empty promises from PWI?)

    quoted for truth

    so we, europeans, are hopping for some lets say OK gmt (not very late, and not very early) for euros and us's for in-game events as gvg/tws, nbc, forest ruins etc. let's hope for a good thing euro players!

    I tend to believe most "International" or "Global" versions of games are usually from Asia and are for only Europeans or only North Americans or both. Cause the Asian side usually have their own versions that are kept for themselves with better quality and further updates. Greedy people. :( xD

    I believe the excuse is "easier management and communication".

    Yeah, oh well. If only there was one perfect MMORPG that can connect the worlds together. xD Everyone would be speaking different languages, finding new friends, pen pals? xD

    Cant answer that question until the servers go really live and we can see the TW and event times. If they set it so that players from the GMT timezones can take part also then this will be truly an international server.

    If not.. then u'll just see america and canada.

    That's the point, the computer is addicting, we're in the modern world. Just cause I dislike having technology doesn't mean I hate using it or learning about it or, etc.

    I was joking with that, by the way. I know a lot of technology really only exists as a status symbol or due to planned obsolescence *coughIPHONEcough*.

    Yup. Not to mention, the ridiculous cash shop prices, the horrible fashion sense of the average user, the stupid level limit and the absolute drag it is to reskill properly.

    Graphics suck, esp in low light areas, sounds effects are **** and dont work for a lot of people.

    Oh, and the GM is always absent. Typical.

    I'll stick to PWI
