    Was just about to pre-order on g2play when I thought I'd check here for a cheaper copy. But when I read about

    Yeah, i can't play it yet anyway, but if i could i'd hold on until the initial issues are fixed. Nothing worse then having a great city going, only for a server restart to delete it.

    It's funny reading through that. Some people seem to think it's the worst thing that could ever happen to them.

    I guess that this is one of the benefits of European release dates being later than the US, in that if it's an easily fixed problem then it can be sorted before we play. Of course, if it's a bigger problem we're equally screwed.

    Exactly on one side im pissed were getting screwed again with a friday release compared to the rest of the world, but if it means major problems get ironed out by then its not too bad

    Out of curiosity, which VPN are you guys using? I've had mixed results in the past.

    MI'll be playing later this week, copy coming to me as a bit of a suprise, the joy of knowing EA employees :)

    Watching some streams on Twitch.tv, looks really enjoyable especially with the friends aspect

    To play with someone you need to be friends over origin then you setup a region and send out invites

    Will probably pick this up in Smiths (44.99 online) this weekend. Didn't pre-order.

    First time in a while buying a physical DVD - I have a voucher somewhere I think.

    That's really good value. The prices I saw was around double that (£65).
    I need a new PC/Laptop to play :(
    Thinking of building a gaming PC that I can use with my TV... in about 6 months :(

    So we can buy this now on Origin or whatever and download it, and use it via VPN?

    Why do you need a VPN? Is it not released in ROI yet?

    So if I want to play it now, should I buy it on the american origin using a proxy? Will that limit me if I turn the VPN off at some point? I know the game is region free....but is origin?

    Whats the best way to go about this..........

    From the release problems, I think the staggered release was probably a good idea here (even though them having published SWTOR should have given them the experience to do a global release).
