Ok Guys i just popped into town and bought Everquest 2.
After purchasing it i found it was going to cost me nearly ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,£12 a month to play. :S
However with Station Pass i can now play all SOE games for only ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,£19 a month...
This includes SWG it also includes free access to all upcoming Expansions for the games you own so i will probably get the wookie expansion free and also the upcoming EQ 2 expansion. All i got to do now is buy Planetside for a fiver for access to all its content and EQ 1 too. all for ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,£19
If anyone is interested in taking a look heres a link...

by the way EQ2 looks cool :D so go get it for a measly ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,£15 in Game ;)
I was under the impression that station access was only available to US residents...
It is and it isn't...
Station pass may work with your UK CD keys... try it and see... oh and I dont think the global collect payment method is available through station pass
"Station Access does not include subscription services for non-SOE published titles, versions of EverQuest, EverQuest II, Star Wars Galaxies, EverQuest Online Adventures or PlanetSide published outside of North America, or SOE's wireless or handheld games. Station Access requires a valid credit card and cannot be used in conjunction with GlobalCollect payment methods, or with GameCards. "

Thats strange as i got offerred the station access while regging EverQuest even got told that i could have my 30 days first then have an extra 4 character slots and the expansion free.
I have N.American SWG
European/UK JTLS
European/UK Ltd Edition of EQ 2
I'll check my account but i belive its all working fine. The only time it wont work is if you dont have a credit card. I mean the subbie process even has a part for putting in eu addresses etc.
Just checked my account details, it hasnt activated the StationPass yet as i have 30 free days but if you look here : -

You can see that eu customers are thought about by the point at the bottom stating we are subject to 17.5% vat.
As long as you dont ever pay for your subscription using global collect that is...
Okay i got bored with waiting and changed my account to station Access....
I can confirm it works a treat and i now get billed $24 a month which is approx ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,£17-ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,£19 a month and have access to all games and addons... Need to own the initial games first but not the addons.
Where the heck are you getting your exchange rates Dai, 24USD is 12.45ukp, nowhere near 17ukp..
Hmmm even better lol
I was just estimating based on the pound being 0.75 of a single dollar not 0.50 :D
but as it is this cheap where are all the hamsters in everquest 2? Go get it and Station Access to get free expansions etc. for SWG and Everquest and access to all the other games :D
