I tried to get on this (I'm in the UK) a month ago or so ago after reading about it here, but had insane difficulties registering and downloading the client.

The EU site seemed to be a cousin of the DAOC site - full of broken, wrongly labelled links that did nothing and went nowhere. The client at the time came in 4 pieces, one of which was a mis-labelled repetition, forcing a Google for an obscure German site that had the correct file. The other effect of this bizaare distro was the fact that none of the vaguely obscure hosting sites could get the buggers out faster than sub-56k speeds.

The whole thing was strangely shambolic and I gave up in the end and went back to Moria to wait for the US launch, with which I hope I'll have more success. I'm still excited to try the game, esp. after Eurogamer's favourable impressions, but I just hope they don't GOA the whole www side of things!
