EDIT: Global play is not offline for me at least. Before 10 minutes ago I had never even touched SEA. So I logged on and created a new character. Maybe it works cause pre last patch I used that region.xml file for it was "officially" live, | ||

You should have separate clients for each region and start playing on them when they are available. For us in Serbia is same as French time, so 12h tomorrow. But it should be available earlier on Sea. | ||

Well, i'm in. edit: resolution is kinda bad. Can upload further proof if required. I don't know why i'm allowed to switch to SEA. Just posted this so people could start playing already even if european or american. | ||

I think you have to create it yourself. I remember downloading the xml, when global play wasn't live yet. I found the download link in the global play thread, so try to look in there. | ||
