I was dedicated enough to buy the game online right after beta (and pay some hefty VAT in Belgium) and I will most likely buy CoV when it is released too.
But I will NOT buy another box just to be able to play on a European server. I have a SG on Virtue and all my characters are there.
Allowing us to play on all available servers seems like the customer-friendly thing to do and over time a character-transfer implementation would be nice too.
So far I have been impressed with all aspects of this game, but this is a major disappointment.
