On of them writes, "It has been a problem in the past. Banning European addresses and IPs is the best way of stopping it."

Hello, there are 300,000+ Americans (including family members and other types of government employees) in the military in Europe. We have a HUGE gaming population here in the U.K. and we've been assured that we will be able to play on NA servers with friends and family. The ideas presented in the above mentioned thread need more people bashing it as a very bad idea. You know how the whiners are, once they ***** enough about stuff people get nurfed!

If any of you read this have access to the official forums, please so post in support of leaving the current policy as stated before too many WHINERS get us Americans in Europe get banned from playing on our home servers.

I greatly appreciate you helping in this matter.

Thanks,
Larzz

Blizzard has already decided on what it wants to do and how it plans to do it. They won't be banning Euro IP addresses. It's too much work and not practical. Banning in and of itself is a bad policy.

edit: Larzz, you take the comments on the beta boards way too seriously. That place is a rumor mill full of attention-starved lucky, undeserving, drama queens.

Fixed

Because retail release is screening by "Billing Address", you shouldn't have any problem when the game is released as long as you us a US Billing Address for your card. If by chance you have bills going to your over-seas address, tell them(your credit card company) you moved and give a friend or relative's address to have the bills sent to.

Closed beta though (and the "Stress Test") don't require any billing information so other methods of screening must be used.
