About time, I say! Even though most people from those countries, myself included, have purchased the game elsewhere a long time ago. Still, better late than never. I should point out that the game isn't available to Serbia, at least, from Origin quite yet, it seems. The "not available in your region" error message is still displayed.

I think a much better April Fools' joke would be if they now said "We're serious!" and actually went and implemented this

Absolutely not, in any way, shape or form. That would, over time, lead to the game being reduced to nothing but numbers, where nothing matters to the players except the said numbers. It would result in devaluing of all the great content in the game and an increasingly unwelcoming community. Put in other words, it would lead to something similar that WoW is now. And I'm not interested in playing something like that again.

26th here, waiting patiently.
