Regarding the original query -- are most of you planning to roll Republic or Empire for your main, and PVE or PVP, et cetera?

There is no IP block on ordering or playing the game.
So if you have a credit card or paypal account you can order a digital copy anywhere in the world and download it.
Install and press the shiny play button.

Don't worry so much about hard copy and codes.... just order online.

Are you sure? My understanding is Origin is the only source for a digital download and Korea will not have access to this for the near future.

Does anyone know which online source will actually be providing the pre-order digital copy?

This is my understanding as well. So I think our only option is to buy the hard copy and have it shipped in. Then pray lag doesn't kill us playing with other people around the world.

You can order from a site like Amazon, then you will be given a code and an ability to download from Origin.

If you want to order directly from Origin, a surprisingly simple way is just to install Hotspot Shield... I got right through their "Your country is not supported" spiel.
