Moving to America?

#0 - Sept. 22, 2009, 9:15 a.m.

Hi all,
I have recently been told that I will be moving to America to work. With regards to WoW, does that mean I would have to rebuy a new copy out there in order to play?

I assume that the european version that I have is not compatible with any American realms, and if I continue to use it out there my latency would be huge.

Would appreciate input from anyone who has done it before, or any of the Blizz guys.

Thanks.

Q u o t e:
The time difference is a killer though, i imagine that when the average person gets home at 5-6 most people here will allready be done for the night, or mostly.

Going by my own experience I have to agree with this. Time-zone difference was the biggest issue with playing in a different region than where I lived. It works if you have some weird shift hours, however, for a European playing in EU timezones, you would have to expect to be able to attend raids at noon-1pm if you're east coast, and 9-10am if you're west coast. Regular 'after work' hours while living in the US would make your play times midnight++ compared to other EU players.
