Is this gonna be US or EU based? I have a feeling its US based, Americans love to say things like 'World' when its only themselves competing.

Actually SSmashface, the community itself is international. However, most of our WoW players are from the US. Currently, 'best in the world' is applicable to many of our US players due to sponsored EU WoW teams never progressing further than the first few rounds in live tournaments. We'll see if this holds true in the upcoming WoW Arena tournament.

Anyways, the community doesn't have any borders and as long as you're a competitive player who considers themselves skilled, you're welcome to join us in any of our endeavors.

My point is that if this is planned to be on a US based server for US clients, (afaik AoC will be like WoW where your game version is 'region locked' to the region where you bought it), then immedeatley EU players if they decide to purchase a US box will be at a disadvantage.
AoC is designed to be more skill based and less gear based, so latency and PC hardware will be an issue in PvP. If you have a high ping and a slow loading PC, your gonna enter a pvp area and be dead before your PC has even loaded the area.
As good as this idea sounds, im choosing not to take part in it because of these main points. Im currently looking to upgrade my PC so I can avoid one of these ;)
