No one person is better then another. We are all equal in my eyes. However, it is still your governments that regulate when stuff is released to you and how much you pay. I see these arguments time and time again in just about any MMO out today. American companies are not discriminating against European customers. They just have to follow certain guidelines and laws put forth by the European governments.
Nope your wrong on that account..yeah sure the government has certain control, usually over censorship, but it is actually Activision choosing when and where..and in this case it was so we spend our hard earned cash on GTA: San Andreas and not JTL.

Everybody here needs to calm down. Holy crap! Does anybody realize there is an ocean and customs that all your orders have to go through to get to you. Sure they could send all your suff by air frieght but then you all would complain that you were having to pay 30 bucks more for the game. Think about it. I Live in California and preordered from EB. My order still hasnt been shiped yet and my credit card hasnt even been billed for it yet. Ya it sucks, but oh well. Just realize the farther you are away from the source of somthing the longer it will take you to get it. Simple.
If you had Canadian Servers, wouldn't beupset to see US people playin JTL in your server while the game hasn't been released in your country yet?

Well ofcourse we are dissapointed, and they havent said anything
about why the game is stoped to the 5th... maybe you have some
text to show that says why it stoped...
You all are being more than just "dissapointed". In fact, you're turning into a bunch of hate mongers over a video game expansion. "Stupid yanks, they always think the world revolves around them! They're discriminating against the rest of the world! Damn yanks getting a head start on OUR servers?! Americans hate us because we're better than them!"
Should I continue? Add a couple of torches, pitchforks, and we'd have an international incident here. I understand that you're frustrated that it got delayed, but do you honestly think this is something against europeans? Do you really think this never happens to americans? I've played plenty of german and japanese MMOGs where their respective contries had first access to everything and the americans got everything last. Hell FFXI was released an entire year early before they let any americans in.
Acting like this over a slight delay for an expansion is beyond rediculous, it's completely childish. Most of you don't even know what's going on because you blame SOE for it when SOE has nothing at all to do with it. Hell, you can't even order JTL from SOE directly, because Lucas Arts is the publisher for SWG. Lucas Arts distributes it here in the states and Activision is responsible for distributing Lucas Arts products in Europe. Your first complaint should be with Activision, and then with Lucas Arts. SOE and the devs had nothing to do with it.
International distribution isn't as easy as you all would like to think, sometimes there are unforseen problems that cause slight delays. Stop trying to form lynch mobs, and learn to have some patience.
Other docs got months of a head start against me and I'm still one of the richest on my server. But then I'm burnt out on crafting after making 3/4 of a billion credits. Shipwright, no thanks, I'll be buying my ships.
