Subject: Korea gets EVERYTHING!
   Even though we are 800,000+ strong on the U.S. servers, they gave the Koreans the "preveiw" of battlegrounds. Which made it sound like our little reveiw of the entire system.

The really funny part is that their "preveiw" allowed them to play it AND the fact that they are upping the lvl cap.

Don't beleive they're going above 60?

Note the lvl 60 priest gaining 186 xp...

But seriously. Why do WE get shafted?

Subject: Re: Korea gets EVERYTHING!
   I've explained this before, but to dispel any rumors right off:

1) Battlegrounds are not released in Korea. What you're seeing there is a preview given by certain Korean media folks when they visited us in house.

2) Korean gamers can not go above level 60. This was an anomaly in a preview build they used specifically for this article while they were visiting us here in Irvine. We have no plans to raise the level cap at this time -- in ANY region.

Now then, in regards to the article.

I'm aware that you folks would like to get information first -- we all do. But how would you like it if you were always, always second when it came to information? If you had to get information about upcoming features second- or third-hand, in a language other than your native tongue, about a game both bought and supported in your home country?

When it comes to major announcements, we do our best to post simultaneously across all regions (quite a feat when coordinating timezones). When it comes to sneak previews such as this, however, we like to give the information first to other regions sometimes. This lets them know we do think of them as part of the community as a whole, and that we're thinking of them also. :)
