By "Do It Again", I refer to having to beg, scrape, grovel to get the 9th Anniversary Edition released in Aust and to be eligible for the Early Buy Bonuses.

In EVERY other box release since I started playing UO, 65 months ago, we've had to do just that...all the Pre-Order stuff...without making a squillion posts here and harrassing you, we just don't get a look in.

As of right now, EA Games(Australia) doesn't have it listed in their catalogue, and nor do any retailers. I already know how pointless it is to ring EA(Aust)...been there, done that with all the other Expansion and Anniversary editions, they seriously have no idea about UO and most employees have never heard of it.

Does EA in the US actually ever even talk to EA anywhere else in the world? Are you all the same company?

Anyway, give us some good news, tell us it will be available and where/when we can get it..and spare us the usual drama and this forum a heap of impassioned posts from Aussies that just want to buy it downunder, ok?

Personally Wilki, I think you & EA need a decent Distributor in Aust, one that's dedicated to UO and will make sure all things UO are available for sale here...want to talk to me about that?

Don't hold ya breath, mate. The only people that will get 9th anniv edition will be USA and Japan. They still haven't sorted out the distribution of 8th Age in Europe never mind giving a thought to this release.

They are aware they need to sort out worldwide distribution but never do, so that tells you it is deliberate and they don't give a monkey's for anywhere else.

Go to UO Radio and buy the codes. Or better still just don't bother - there's only junk in this edition.

and

Well, they do say "International Ordering Information Coming Soon" on the 9th Anni webpage. Problem with that is the use of the word "Soon"...EA's generic interpretation of that word is scary.

Every new release in UO has always come with much pain and anguish for International players, wherever they might be(Europe included Ros)...I'm just not sure I can stand it again, lol.

and

We'd really like to tell you, but the details are still being worked out.

As soon as we have the info, it'll be posted on the UO9 website.

[Lets hope some miracle sorts this out for those of us outside the 'release' area...Tabbitha]
