does anyone have any idea how the region multiplayer is gonna work?

i'm living in the philippines right now and as much as i'd like to play against my friends in england, somehow i'd prefer to play with people nearby around here. how do i accomplish that? do i need to buy a specific region copy of the game?

Currently you will be locked into the south east Asia set of servers unless you bought a copy from a different region. There are some esoteric plans to implement cross-region play, but currently it is not possible. Any game you buy in that area should automatically have you set-up in that region. So if you just want to play against local people then go to a local store and nab the game. Otherwise you need to custom order.
