EU players on USA server?

[Palmen]

Anyone know if ther is anyway for the EU players to play on the USA servers?, and if so can we use the 23 retail or do we hafto wait for the EU retail.

Or do you need a USA CC to pay for WoW? (som games like FFXI, can be payed whit EU CCs).

You just need a trusted friend or relative in the US to help you. You can order a game and time card yourself, with your own non-US CC, you just have to set the ship address to your friend's address. Then he will have to mail the box to you, but that involves his money (might not be a problem, though you can avoid it still). If you trust the person more, you can actually ask him to just mail/phone you the cd-key and time card number, and you can play with OB client right on release (last official response was that OB client is valid for retail, if patched) - no friend's money involved, no fancy box either ;) Also the person can simply pay for you with his/her CC.

If you have absolutely no one to ask for help, I've read that cdromshop.com (canadian online store) actually sends both the game and time cards anywhere, regardless of the policy. Didn't check it though since I ordered box + time card already and will have the numbers given by phone.

Depending on the solution, you can play from 1 day to 2 weeks after release.

thx for the anser :D

1 last qustion tho.. Can i play the monthly fee whita non-US CC or do i hafto order time cards every time i need to pay?

Getting the game is no problem (som shops in sweden even sells them :P), the only problem would be if i cant pay the monthly fee whit a non-US CC

I thought I stated clearly that you need a time card or US friend to pay for you ;)

That's what the whole fuss is about. Non-US CC will not work. But if a shop in Sweden sells the game even though they are not supposed to, they probably sell the time cards as well...
