    No they will be on a NA server, however there has been rumours that launch will see mixed servers....only way to currently play with friends in US is to create a new US PSN and download from US store or vice versa for them

    Actually it's based on the region of the account you play with. The client identifies where your location is then generates access to the servers accordingly.

    This means that you'd have no access to your characters etc. if you loaded it up in a different region on the same console. It's more applicable to X1 ofc since region switching is easy there.

    This is not quite right. You can log from anywhere and you will be stuck with your original account region/country. The one you picked on account creation.
    The only way to acess the local shop is to make a new account with the local country selected.


    This is on PS4.

    Australia was conquered by England,that is why they play in EU servers.

    In a way, but then so was the US. But the real reason has to do with the TV broadcast signal. Australia and new zealand used the PAL format used in europe and that is why they got put in the same "sack".
    I don't know exactly how or why it still happens, but maybe it's still a relic of that time.

    Okay so now that the game is fully released I can confirm, if you use you CANNOT use your main (EU region) to buy EMP to use on the NA server. So glad I only tried it with the 1k EMP instead of the 12k I was going to.
    EDIT: OKAY SO TO CHANGE THAT, to do it you have to log into the EU server then back onto NA and then it shows up

    How do you know which server is which?, the game doesn't show what region each server applies to just whether it's PvE or PVP, there's no region selection and there wasn't one during game account creation.

    If you download TERA from your main account (EU Region) then TERA is locked to the EU servers. If you make a US region account and use it to download TERA, that version will be locked to the US servers and they act as two separate games

    So basically it's tied to your psn account region which is strange since most mmo games (and games with mp modes) on console either aren't region locked or some like eso and warframe allow region switching in-game
