this is my experience for the login.. so i downloaded 19 version.. after patch download. i did ok to all permissions and went straight to selecting server it asked for mobile verification it automatically chose my number and sent the otp.. and it got verified immediately as ez. Ps i live in the Indian subcontinent.. so i guess most of the Asians have direct access to play.. i can't say anything about EU or Americas. but i won't even advise them to play rn. cause of 2 reasons. 1st it's not completely optimized.. it's more like open beta.. the lags minor glitches.. the reason the launch is restricted so as to not disappoint players globally
2nd you'll have a very high ping so high that you won't actually be able to play.
PS i have heard some guys saying global will be released within 8 months.. while some saying 2 years.. let's hope for the best
