As the title says, really did love NS, and am excited about the second one.
But the problem is, Will i be able to pre-order this game, from the site with being in the UK and if so... will i be able to participate in the "Alpha/Beta's?"

And yah. Lots of people reporting that they are buying it from outside the US.
the central question would be: If players are not allowed to host their own servers during alpha/beta, will there be servers in europe for testing? because noone wants to test the alpha with pings > 100

Also, you should rethink your stance. Even <i>while</i> south americans are usualy named by their country (bolivians, peruans, etc), they are still valid americans besides people from north or central america. I've heard it quite often that people claimed that "america" only means the us of a, followed by much laughter of people a bit more... fluent in geography and a stupid face of the claimer.

:facepalm: As people destroy the joke more and more.
1) America is used to refer to the USA simply because it is a common usage. Deal. Yes we know that there are 2 continents with the word America in them. Interesting bit is that there is only one country with the word America in it. All in all, not confusing or wrong to refer to the country as America unless you feel like making it so.
2) He was making a common joke at Canada. They are our 51st state, or that they are America lite, or any of those things. It is required for Americans to mock Canadia. It is in our constitution. If we don't they ship us there. Ask Drubo. They do the same thing to NYers if we don't mock NJ.
Either way: way to kill the joke :D
(seriously, this was just getting to painful to watch)

Back on topic, this does raise an issue about having servers outside the US for the rest of the world who pre-ordered. Especially having mentioned that at the start of the alpha we will not be able to host our own servers.

So yeh, i know this has most likely been asked quite a bit, but with the special edition i get access to alpha and beta right?
And has the alpha already been or when is it?
But the problem is, Will i be able to pre-order this game, from the site with being in the UK and if so... will i be able to participate in the "Alpha/Beta's?"

Being able to host own servers is a must, unless servers are hosted worldwide;)
