Players are complaining and even worse, there is an undercurrent of anger focusing on nationalities starting to air. People are complaining that the NA open beta should be restricted to people in North America only, that people with overseas IP addresses should be banned. Well, that is missing the point of MMPs entirely. The Internet and games that allow for play on this scale is supposed to bring the world closer together, not start a parade of national segregation. We are supposed to be a global community, not territorial jerks who wish to deny others of what we are freely given – and yes, this is open beta, meaning it is free; you are not paying to play.
