I live in Europe my cousins and my sister are in the Philippines and we want to play together

[PistolizedCannon]

I've been talking a lot about EFT to my cousins and my sister since I was in the Philippines for a visit. And today out of the blue I made an introduction video to EFT in my facebook page with the intention of infecting them (sorry for the lack of a better word). Now, what happened is, they loved my mediocre video so much that 3 of my cousins and my sister ordered parts for a gaming pc and will buy EFT. Now my question is, how will I able to play with them since we are in different regions. PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A WAY FOR US TO PLAY TOGETHER.

Whenever you invite them to your group in the lobby, every member of said group will play together on the same server, the server is gonne be the one closest to the host / leader

When i get back home, in an hour or two, i will send you a 14 day trial key. That way they can try the game without buying it first. Then all you need is their ingame name, to invite them, or add them to your friends list. There is nothing preventing you from playing with them. The only caveat is that they will play on the server you select, so their connection may be abysmal. So maybe try to select the master server so you both have a moderate ping.

Oh thank you for this, this is what we need. They are kind of having anxiety buying the game because we aren't sure whether we are able to play together.

Due to the physical distance between your regions you will have to test your connection quality first, to ensure you guys will not have desync problems due to high ping. latency or spikes.

Judging by my past experience, players from Phillipines have best ping to GULF region (arab countries like UAE)

Apart from that there are no obstacles to play together, this game has all the required gameplay features for teamplay.

I'm worried about that, the physical distance. Can you suggest how we can test our connection that is good enough for EFT. sorry for nooby question.

The best way was described by Oranje:  to actually install the game, pick a server with smallest ping (for all members) and test the gameplay.

Can all of them use the key individually? I mean in a separate computer?

No, this code is for one single account, they could perhaps share it between them. If they later upgrade that account by buying the game, they will get to continue where they left off. If they purchase anything like EoD (for example) they will have to reset their account manually before they get the bigger inventory.

Okay, Thank you again!
