Yesterday, Turbine made a startling announcement that wowed penny-wise online gamers -- its D20 rollin' MMO, Dungeons and Dragons Online would receive a free-to-play edition with the subtitle Eberron Unlimited. There's just one caveat -- Unlimited is going live this summer in North America only. Codemasters confirmed the European exclusion in a statement, explaining "DDO Europe will not be assuming this new business model and the European DDO game service will remain a monthly subscription-based game."
There's a chance that Europe could eventually gain access to Unlimited, as the statement mentions, "as the beta progresses we will release more information regarding the future plans for EU players." Keep your eyes peeled and your perception checks high for more news on the matter as the beta opens its doors.

It's nothing to do with Europe vs US and everything to do with Codemasters being a terrible publisher and having crap support for the games they put out. Just like LotRO in Europe is like a 3rd/4th class citizen compared with the US version. Codemasters are a joke.

In a case like this, I'm not sure why we would get it free over the European countries (with the company's location and all). I hate seeing Europe get screwed all the time, not just with videogames, but other forms of entertainment too :( . Things like this should be the same across the board.
