Serbia is in the Acclaim part of Europe, so you’re in the same boat we in North America are in :/ Sucks, don’t it?

Yeah, it’s not going to be able to happen without some sort of proxy to fake being from the EU.

This would just be a lot easier if they would have an open beta like they said they would.

Well everytime i load the website it brings me too the north american site of acclaimed and i can register there but if i download the free 2 play it wont work says i dont have an account but i am registered at acclaimed spellbourne…. but i cant register in the EU one… when i click register it wont show the image of the CODE you need too put in… i think the code is IP specific.

Frogster probably has the better contact network, since they have been around as a game publisher before they took the online path. So I do not doubt that they helped out finding a US publisher.
I do not quite understand why UK was included in Acclaim’s territory though, at least if Frogster is going to have English-speaking servers anyway. Frogster certainly seem to handle that part of Europe when it comes to Bounty Bay Online and Runes of Magic.

But right now I am glad that there will be other English-speaking servers outside of Acclaim-space.

I’m planning on ordering the German version of the game, the collector’s edition, and if that doesn’t work, then I’ll try to finesse my way online…

I’m gonna play this game.

Re: Frogster, it is my understanding (could be wrong) that they were instrumental in finding a NA publisher, so they might well do whatever it takes to support the NA publisher.

When this game is released here, assuming it ever is, I will certainly play on the local servers. But why wait? I cleared my MMO schedule so I could play TCoS when it went live, and I see no reason to change my plans just because Acclaim dropped the ball.

They have not decided or announced what restrictions will be in place yet, so assuming an IP block might be a bit premature.

It is Acclaim that mainly at risk losing here, I don’t see that there would be much incentive for Frogster to implement some very restricive schemes – and it is they that would have to do it.

If you can get through to us here, you are most welcome :)

If we could get more info on if there would be an IP block or not, I may have to look into this.

I play on a laptop as well, so I’m very interested to know this.
