Taiwan is indeed in, and boy do they suck ATM. I too encountered them, and Flawlessed them a few hours ago.
They were using premades/henches on the Underworld map.

Give them time 
They're only just starting out. You wouldn't want them to get too good too fast, would you?

Believe me them Taiwan peoples are crazy with MMORPG like Guild Wars. Give them time to learn the skills and long hours of pratices.. Than they won't be easy to beat anymore!

Now it's going to be interesting. More countries to compete with, the more fun it'll be.

More country's == less time with favor == ecto price hike

I think having a couple more regions will make the competition a lot more fun. I am sure I'll appreciate favor more. It might be harder to get favor but this could also make it a lot easier to hold favor for a while. Say you have favor and Europe is 2 wins away from gaining it, then Korea comes in and wins, then TW, and etc. A region holding favor might hold it for longer which could be bad and good depending on who has it. I think that could pull some guilds into Tombs and HoH a lot more.

These players would only hold Hall if Sigils spiked in price and it was more profitable than farming.
/not saying all Chinese are farmers, this is just where most of the Ebay gold sellers setup shop/
and Korea is one of the Most MMO crazy countries on the planet.

so... wait a sec, taiwan is its own region? that doesn't make any sense. korea has about 46 million ppl and taiwan has 22 million. germany alone has 82 million, and france has 60 million. how can taiwan possibly be expected to hold its own against the rest of the world?
this only makes sense if it's temporary. it only makes sense if they soon combine all the other asian nations into a single region like europe. otherwise it wouldn't be even remotely fair.

All facts are according to the CIA worldfact book
South Korea Poulation: 48,422,644 (July 2005 est.)
Taiwan Population: 22,894,384 (July 2005 est.)
USA Population: 295,734,134 (July 2005 est.)
Given the size difference between Korea and the US, one would have to wonder how Korea manages to compete, but they do. I really don't see it being a problem for Taiwan. There are games with a world wide population of 25000 + an additional 20000 in Taiwan.

Hooray! I am going to tell my friends in Taiwan! He's been playing D2 for so long... it's about darn time ti quit that game! His girlfriend is so pissed at him doing baal runs every night. lol (Yes, the girlfriend is horny)
Taiwanese people love online games. I am pretty sure they will be good after a while. There are a lot of skills in this game and need to be learned first.

Japaneese are in tombs. My guild has ran into a few of them. Also faced them in GvG. That was a very close match.
I expect the japaneese to take over this game once they get the hang of it. Which doesn't take long. They usually dominate every team based games.

Japan HAS in fact, been in tombs, and won. As for Taiwan, I've seen mainly Taiwan teams with 4 players and 4 henchmen, no structured build..YET. My only problem is I can't distinguish the text characters of Taiwanese,Japanese etc.Though Japan and Korea I know have a few distinct characters that can make it easier to know which nation it is..
Anyways, I welcome the time when those other "newb" nations, get their "Powa" up, and become a real force to be reckoned with >
. With as many nations playing now, the fun in the word "challenge" will DEFFINATELY have a big rise =). I know I look foward to exchanging blows with a good group hehe.

It is good we're moving into Factions PvP system.
Atleast we know Japanese and Koreans will never unite
Do the dirty western trick..devide and rule ^^
