Is there a split between getting an American or an EU version?

I hope not, I hate EU servers.
In many parts of Europe there is a price gap and trouble getting codes. Some countries will not even be in the first release (the most vocal folks in this regards are from Aus). The earlier you enter the code from the day of Pre-order (yesterday) the sooner you will get into the game in the staged release. So those who are having trouble getting the codes abroad (and some folks here) may not make it into the first wave of players even though they pre-ordered early enough.
think the split is I wear trousers while taking the pavement to collect my 'z's

all i could find was this from the pre-order faq:
I live in North America but my friend lives in Europe. Will we be able to play together on the same server?
Yes, it will be possible to play on the same server as your friends. Any player of Star Wars: The Old Republic can choose to play on any server. However, if you choose to play on a server outside of your own region (i.e., – playing on European servers from North America, and vice versa), because of natural latency caused by the distance between your client and the game servers, you may find your game performance is impacted
Didnt realy see a official statement yet outside the post somebody linked above but seeying what they say i think its possible
A sorry didnt see this yet seems official now than
saw stephen reid post this in twitter and figureed i would share:

On region locking: right now things are unchanged, anyone can play #SWTOR from anywhere in the world on any server, but latency may affect.
That's nice to hear. So, Europeans could play on US servers and Americans on EU servers? Sounds great, I'd expected a split between EU and US versions of the game.

The ease with which predictions are made on these forums:
Fratman: "I'm saying Spring 2012 at the earliest [for TOR release]. Anyone still clinging to 2011 is deluding themself at this point."
Pretty cool to not lock the zones.
Not that I am so eager to play on a US server though. I like all those hilarious EU accents on voice coms too much for that.
My brand new bloggity blog.
Many people not in EU or US often complain that they can't choose becasue of varying latencies or friends choosing the alternate while they don't. Not region locking saves a lot of problems from a customer service perspective.
Why do you hate tomatoes?

I am glad to hear it too. It was one of the best features of SWG, and I hope to see some old friends again.
