Yes, but that would require you to buy both the European and the (imported=extra expensive) US Gamebox and pay two monthly fees.. not mentioning the disk space you would need to install both versions in parallel.... and maybe some nice registry conflicts, since both games could use the same regkeys etc etc...
Def2k': the reason they do this is.. money (what else).. if they outsource the European server, the euro hoster wants to make money through box sales and wants to get fees of everyone using the server (whereas they wouldn't get fees from connecting US player), so they would have interest in making them incompatible.... OFC they would say the software is absolutely incompatible since they had to translate stuff for the German/French/whatever release.........
OK OK.. I'm pessimistic again, but i have a personal grudge with GOA (hoster of the the German/French/English DaoC servers)... the Spanish hoster never had any problems like they did....
