WoW Playing Overseas ...

GRiM · 15-01-2007, 21:55

Just wondering the following things about WoW

I set up a Europe account but will most likely be moving to Canada in a few months. Do I A) stop playing my Euro one or B) move and continue to play my Euro one.

I just got off the phone with them and they said it was fine as long as I updated my details, etc. So would there be loads of lag from Canada to the Euro server? Also if I got a US edition now would I be experiencing lag if I tried to play overseas from here to there.

or C) You meathead why are you not playing on the US servers stop being a dork and cancel your Euro one and purchase some US ones immediately!

The characters I would be losing a level 13 Priest, a level 20 hunter, and a level 20 warlock. I am playing everything until I find something I truely enjoy. Not a hard task to get those levels up again.

The WoW ToU (Terms of Use) was recently updated so that anyone playing outside of the territorial boundries of the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Singapore is now in violation of the Terms of Use and can be banned at any time.

So, if you are intending to move into one of the above countries then i see no problem playing on a US server. You will experience higher pings until you make your move but we have a rather large Euro contingent that plays with (relative) ease.

Also, given your current Euro server characters i would most definitely switch to a US server as you will be losing nothing but gaining better playability as the characters you currently have really are not that big of a loss. Level 20 takes really no time at all once you are familiar with your surroundings and know the general scheme of things.

Hope that helps :)

Just wondering how did you purchase the US version and do you pay with an American/Canadian account?

I live in the US so its easy for me to get one. However like today (the eve of TBC) the people who cannot obtain one have someone else buy them one and just download the client and use the CD key that the buyer gives them.

As far as how they are paid... i am not sure :X

Im paying with my dutch mastercard without problem.
NZ/aussie should have even less problems though, as they are officially part of the 'us realm' :p

I "live" in Australia and pay with my norwegian card, hehe... Not unlikely though, you might attend school in US, AS, NZ, but have a european or whatnot CC
