Was Russia chosen?
There is some chatter about Russia being chosen to be the secondary target (besides Korea) for launch..
Can someone provide the source for this? ... I looked through the responses to the main thread and people not in the loop like me are missing out .. apparently. (I didn't see a reply to their identical question either, even though they asked.)
Thanks!

Recognize the voice? Yep sounds like Penny Arcade's Extra Credits.

Nothing has been officially announced, but during E3 AA devs said that they have met with a few publishers.
GoHa.Ru: So, the first question is… Will the game be localized? Will its Collector’s Edition, be similar to those in Korea and China? And… what thoughts whatsoever do you have on publishing the game in our country?
Suk Woo Choi: Of course, ArcheAge is going to be localized in Russian, for the Russian players. And about the Collector’s Edition – we don’t have any specific plans yet, but when we decide on Russian publisher then we will decide if it is going to work or not.
GoHa.Ru: Can you please tell us, what market do you consider the most preferred for your game – European or Russian? And don’t you think, that ArcheAge might just be a bit too hard for casual European players?
Suk Woo Choi: Traditionally, Russian players are very interested in MMORPGs and recently MMORPG market in Russia has been developing very fast, I understand that compared to other regions Russian gamers are very passionate for MMORPGs and they have very deep knowledge for MMOs. And because of these reasons we think that ArcheAge will be a big hit in Russia, and we’re looking forward to being loved by Russian gamers.
GoHa.Ru: So… probably the last question: will CBT5 be the last one, or shall we wait for new tests later?
Suk Woo Choi: The date of 5th CBT for ArcheAge is not fixed yet, but it should be somewhere around summer this year, and OBT is probably going to take place in the end of this year, in 2012. For the Russian servers… as soon as we pick the right publisher, who is going to work with us, we’ll try to deliver ArcheAge as quick as possible. And we have already met some of the Russian publishers…
I guess we will have to move to Russia :S
China is definitely the next market launch after Korea, but i wouldn't surprise if Russia is their next major launch before U.S.
There were quite a lot of Russian players in CBT.
It's called marketing, geez some people really don't get it.
Let's say XLGAMES goes to the next Gamescom and they will talk with an English community website for ArcheAge, the sales representative will tell you how amazing the crowd in Europe is and will do everything to bring it to us quickly. They just do the same sales pitch at every country to please the fans.
