Playing US servers from europe

[Lovemonkey]

I was wondering.

Do US players get banned more often?

And what is the MS like when you play US servers from the UK? i cba spending ?50+ on full wow accounts when i can get the US version for ?22.

From what I've seen, US GMs are a lot harsher then European ones.

In EU they generally give you a 24 hours ban for the first offense, 72 for second, ban for third.
In US a full ban for the first offense is pretty likely.

It's probably a bit hard because of the ping.

170 nice? I wouldn't call that nice, anything >150 it's a little bit harsh, nor to mention that you would probably run multiple bots :/

170 is good when connecting from Europe to the US though, green or low yellow bar is fine for farming imo.

you don't need to buy the us<->eu version.

I think u can edit a file called realmlist or something.

It's easy to find the info on google.

He means the keys.

Eu and Us accounts are separated.
Can't log in an EU WoW account on US servers.

Although, you can have EU and US keys on the same Bnet account.

Not to mention the new Launcher.exe has some odd drop-down option for setting your region.
