[Sp-24]

MAINTENANCE COMPLETE

RESULTS

Gaijins blocked: All Verizon subscribers
Gaijins unblocked: TWC subscribers, ME
Maintenance rank: B


UPDATE NOTICE 14:00 JST

http://pso2.jp/players/news/?id=3903

The contents of the update that you may not even see are: new lobby, new quest, XQ levels 61-70, new FUN Scratch, new AC Scratch, 1st round of ARKS Ship Tournament with Arkuma.



UPDATE 13:30 JST

As promised, Sega has posted a notice about the newest update. The update has been available since 13:15. (http://pso2.jp/players/news/?id=3875) No further announcements, such as anything about the connectivity issues, or the contents of the update, have been made. According to the twitter post (https://twitter.com/sega_pso2/status/484193886818938881), the update is 141 MB in size.



ORIGINAL POST

The long awaited maintenance has finally started (https://twitter.com/sega_pso2/status/484155151695880192) (probably; I couldn't connect to the game in the first place, so it's not like I can tell), and will last at least 6 hours, according to Sega. We, obviously, have high expectations of this maintenance, since it could decide whether we'll be able to freely play the game again.

The most optimistic outcome will be Sega lifting, or otherwise fixing, whatever is this thing that prevents us from playing (definitely not an IP block, please don't panic). If that happens, it will mean that we won't need to keep our VPNs ready, since, obviously, Sega took steps to allow us back. So, at the very least, they don't mind us playing.

If this problem doesn't go away in 6 hours, then everything will be looking much worse. Resuming AC services and restarting the countdown on AC items means that they are back in business. And you still being unable to connect will mean that you are not a part of that business anymore. Reasons for that may vary - obviously, it could be the backbone thing, but it just as easily can mean an unlifted IP block. You could still wait, and hope for the best, but, if Sega doesn't make any official statement, there will be no estimated time frame in which everything will suddenly get better. In that case, considering using a VPN may be your only real choice.

Unlike their usual practice of releasing update info immediately after the maintenance started, Sega is supposed to tell us about it at 14:00 JST, 3 hours after the maintenance began. On their site, obviously. Don't know what will they be doing for those three hours, since there is no notice about anything like a site maintenance, nor do I know what will be posted there (aside from the new AC and FUN Scratches, and campaigns), but, if you still can't access the player's site by then, well, take that as you will.

Sega strongly advised that people don't try and connect to the servers too during maintenance but people will be impatient and do it anyways

[BIG OLAF]

I'm just curious how they could fix the issue with a maintenance, since the launcher won't even start up (Error 107), and you kind of need that to get an update.

Unless we just use the Tweaker, I guess.

Everyone has done that to prepatch.

[MegaRocker1987]

Btw speaking of this topic has sega made any official statements yet about the 249 errors and the ip problems in general?

[Daiyousei]

Reading twitter replies there's still Japanese people having 107 and 249s, and a lot of 630.

There wasn't any word on error 249, but it's supposed to be connected to error 107. Who knows, though, since, without Sega, we don't really have any official source to comment on this.

Speaking of error 107, since we all like panic and fearmongering, I recently (about 10 minutes ago) tried speeding up my connection with the wonderful Opera Turbo feature. Now, Opera uses its own servers to streamline content for you. They load a page, then send a much lower-quality one to you, putting less stress on your bandwidth. And, well, according to Opera, a Sanic version of player's site looks like this:

I may be wrong, but this doesn't look like a backbone issue. The server clearly was reached, and even sent me a rude reply.

Like I said before you are not the only English speaker that can access the game, and you trying to rub it in like anyone will care in 2 months. Are you still going to come to this forum to troll which will be a long forgotten game just as PSU was before?

See your problem is that you're using Opera. http://i.imgur.com/eSkmEM3.png



But on a serious note; have you ever thought to write yourself off as an outlier? I dont think I've seen anyone with your symptoms, unless I'm blind.


EDIT: Also, port 80 is the generic http internet port.

pso2.jp:80 is the same as pso2.jp.

This means that opera's servers couldnt reach japan either, at least to me.

Really? Not even Gama, whose traced route is exactly the same as mine, even though we live in different countries? Or, like, all those other people who can't play the game, which, as you may have noticed, exist?

During the time of maintence SEGA had suggested /not/ to try to launch the game til 1700JPT, which is 5am EST? or something

so..

[Sp-24]

I think they used to say that before every mantenance. I'll go see if they keep old maintenance notes.

EDIT: Yes, just checked two old maintenance announcements, and they also have 「※メンテナンス終了告知があるまでは、ゲームサーバーへの接続を行わないでください。」. So, it's a standard message. Makes sense, since servers are down anyway.

[WallyJustice]

Maybe SoJ is aware that Verizon users can access their game. Wouldn't that be funny if that issue was addressed in this maintenance?

I missed the guys who routed exactly like you yeah. I didn't miss everyone else having problems (like myself)

I read the forums but I don't always take in everything I read hahaha.

Also, in my previous post I was referring to...

uhh

crap...

weren't you having some connections issues specific to you that no one else was having?

I swear i read you were. like i think i saw your tracert results and they looked different from everyone elses? or that you had a problem even tracerting that was odd or something?

If not, egg on my face and as such, disregard my previous post as I suck phallic objects.

Only thing that I can remember is THIS (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219726), and it happened way before the DDoS.

However, oddball or not, but I did experience something just now. Usually, trying to reach the player's site without a proxy would give me the "Connection timed out" error. After the maintenance has started, however, I get "Server not found" instead. Which only really means that there is a chance that Sega did something. No idea what it was, good or bad, but it seems like there is at least some sort of a development. Okay, I'm an idiot. I typed "www." in front if the url for some reason, so of course server was not found. Guess nothing happened, then!

I have Verizon Fios that's what makes it' win win for me. But I have always been a cut off the nose spite the face kinda person.

[Gama]

instead of checking the game itself ill check from time to time the pso2.jp site, if it loads the game should load aswell...

[Punisher106]

I'm just clenching with all of my might, right now.

[Yamishi]

Vita version updated without a hitch, but I'd imagine the update comes from Sony's servers, so it won't make a difference. But maybe there's some new net code in there...

which i really dont get who the fuck tries to get on a game during maintenance

[Sp-24]

Somebody probably does, which is why they keep saying that every week.

[Z-0]

Everyone does to see if the servers are up, because they come up early more often than not.

Although this is towards the end.

[NightSun]

Not sure if this means anything, if it's good news or bad, but I'm actually getting an error when trying to connection to pso2.jp.
"The connection has timed out: The server at pso2.jp is taking too long to respond."
Before it would just load for a few minutes, stop, and go to the FF new tab screen.

[BIG OLAF]

That's been happening to me the whole time, so I don't think it's significant.

Hai. I still can't get on the site.

Also if you have tweaker you can patch now.

[Sp-24]

Oh, congrats. It's still not working for me, but maybe it will get fixed soon, then. There's still an hour until their promised update, after all.

And as for update, Sega said that they will inform you when will it be available later. I assume at 14:00.

[the_importer_]

My ISP is Electronic Box, a Videotron re-seller (Montreal area in Quebec). This would mean that cable users in Quebec and Ontario should be OK (in theory) since we all pretty run on the same backbone.

Also, I can update via the game client (I cancelled it) and via the Tweaker :)

Very nice. For reference, were you participating in our tracert rituals? And, if so, what were your results? "Couldn't reach target" or "connection timed out"?

wait it said theres an update, and its file checking, dosent mean it will download anything. right.

[Reyva]

I bet 5 bux theres a ton of you just pressin F5 on the pso2.jp page and pos-world and you're gonna keep doin it until maintenance is over. Then you're going to see nothing changed and you just wasted whatever hours of your life haha. That or act like you didn't do it.

Go ahead and start packin ur bags to Japan. That or go back to crying at Segac at that western release. Whatever the case may be, when I wake up mid-afternoon (because I pretty much go to sleep at 6am cst) or before I go to bed, I'll see all of you crying about how you can't play again lol. I seriously think some of you can't last another week without the damn game and thats going to be even more epic on these forums.

Keep it up. These forums is normally in the top 3 to visit first when I go to work, go to lunch, come home from work, and before going to sleep.

[EspeonageTieler]

are we actully able to update now? and does the tweaker always check files before an update?

[Helvetica Standard]

I bet 5 bux theres a ton of you just pressin F5 on the pso2.jp page and pos-world and you're gonna keep doin it until maintenance is over. Then you're going to see nothing changed and you just wasted whatever hours of your life haha. That or act like you didn't do it.

Go ahead and start packin ur bags to Japan. That or go back to crying at Segac at that western release. Whatever the case may be, when I wake up mid-afternoon (because I pretty much go to sleep at 6am cst) or before I go to bed, I'll see all of you crying about how you can't play again lol. I seriously think some of you can't last another week without the damn game and thats going to be even more epic on these forums.

Keep it up. These forums is normally in the top 3 to visit first when I go to work, go to lunch, come home from work, and before going to sleep.

I'm kinda new here, but seems you have your mascot troll as well. Ahhh the feeling of a cozy home.

[Sp-24]

He's way too specific, though. Trolling or overcompensating, but I'm 99% that his posts are pure projection.

[Taurus83]

try again 4 time until launcher start up get finish update (no use of any vpn, don't have tweaker also)

[Asellus]

Just curious, is there anyone who still can't update thru tweaker?

15% downloaded atm through tweaker.

Thank goodness for alternatives to the launcher otherwise I'd be one of these people moaning about not being able to play every 5 fucking minutes.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Hm. Game's patching right now.

[Chik'Tikka]

uhm the tweaker is updating my game.

wut?

cant access the page but can download updates?

*is confused*

wait it said theres an update, and its file checking, dosent mean it will download anything. right.

it was mentioned earlier by Agrajag that the update server is it's own thing (has it's own IP) separate from PSO2.jp and the game servers, since it was never attacked, ISPs never had to null route packets going to it during the DDoS+^_^+

[Dephinix]

Yeah, either way, if the route was fixed to the game servers and download servers(if they are indeed different), then who cares. If the players can play without some kind of augmentation, then swell!

[TaigaUC]

When I tried the tweaker after the server came back up, it always said PATCH SERVER OFFLINE though.
Unless they brought it up later.

[Maenara]

You know what's weird is, I couldn't connect to the site even while I could connect to the game.

[fishthefish89]

15% downloaded atm through tweaker.

Yeah I just finished updating mine as well.

[wefwq]

Hmm, aren't they supposed to fix 107 by today maintenance?
I'm still getting it with official launcher but it's now doing usual data check after some attempts.

It seems that i can download patch just fine too.

[IndignationSWF]

Hmm, aren't they supposed to fix 107 by today maintenance?
I'm still getting it with official launcher but it's now doing usual data check after some attempts.

They said they'd try and address it, that's by no means a promise of a fix by tonight. There is hope though.

[Sp-24]

Some people have been able to access the site and the update servers after this maintenance, though, so I guess they did address it to an extent.

[wefwq]

Oh really? That sucks, this entire 107 error make stuff inconvenient.

And anyone here can access official page yet?

[ArcaneTechs]

nope, still cant connect to the official site

[IndignationSWF]

A couple of people have, but not many more than could before.

[btw-Niji]

Updating has never been an issue. I'm "blocked" (could never access site/game) and I can update no problem... even a couple days ago.

[Sp-24]

Well, it was a problem to me, since the launcher would never return anything other than an error 107. But, with a web proxy, I could run a file check with no problems at all.

[IndignationSWF]

Either way it's a fair sign that we might be coming out of it. Just gotta stay positive.

[ArcaneTechs]

You won't get a result for another couple of hours with the Maintenance.

[ArcaneTechs]

You won't get a result for another couple of hours with the Maintenance.

ya but i wanna be updated as the servers come up but idk suppose i can wait till its finally done

[Sp-24]

You won't get a result for another couple of hours with the Maintenance.
If you don't get any results now, chances of anything happening after the maintenance ends are even lower. They are supposed to be solving the issue right now, after all.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Already updated the game after a few 107s, and launched.

But then again, I was logging on before (verizon ISP), so I guess this really proves nothing.

[IndignationSWF]

Depends, we have way too little info to make an assumption either way atm.

We have plenty of info. Choosing to ignore it is up to you, though.

[IndignationSWF]

We have plenty of info. Choosing to ignore it is up to you, though.

Yeah, if you want to talk conflicting info(people on the same backbone having different luck on connections and updates for example). I myself haven't been able to access the game since the re-up(US East Comcast) but I got the update fine from the launcher. Tonight's been a mixed bag of info.

[Tes]

I can still connect via PZ without issue. No DC or connection issues at all. But i'd like to see if Sega actually allow us to play on the game properly. If not, i'm not sure I really want to bother playing PSO2 anymore.

[EspeonageTieler]

Nothing is changing. You guys can go to bed.

but im not tired


i was also able to update(via tweaker) on comcast US east not sure if i could before since i never tried (did they even have any updates before this one?)

[IndignationSWF]

Not since the re-up.

[Maenara]

Just a thought, anyone having trouble with error 107 should update with the tweaker, which should update the regular launcher. Test to see if the updated launcher throws the error 107 - Maybe Sega made it so you can't fix the problems with using the launcher to update without updating the launcher, which would be a totally hilarious vicious circle.

[Esofor]

i'm fully updated and still #107life

[btw-Niji]

I'm updated too homie, and I'm still getting error107.

i tried the fix PSO2.exes thing with the tweaker, downloaded new launchers, get 107 still+^_^+

[Tes]

THer'es still 1 hour 2o until maintanence is done. Would that not explain the 107

[HaxMega]

THer'es still 1 hour 2o until maintanence is done. Would that not explain the 107

Nah, it would say the game is currently under maintenance, not throw out a 107 error. 107 is just the error that comes up when it can't connect to the patch server.

[fruiteaterz]

glad it's morning here, i'm going2 w8 this out then update in 4-5 hours. in the meantime i've gotta beat fatal frame. good luck every1, i'll keep an eye on this topic.

[Maenara]

Was just a thought experiment. Oh well, just use the tweaker - it works.

[Shinamori]

Guess I'm using that amazon thing.

[TaigaUC]

Did anyone try asking SEGA to remove the block on their IP?
I assume they'd simply just say "JAPAN ONLY!"

Latest post (http://pso2.jp/players/support/measures/?id=3854) says they have fixed the verification email issue.

[TaigaUC]

Not too long ago, someone from here messaged me and asked me to translate a reply they'd received from SEGA regarding a question they asked (in English, I think) about the SEA IP block.

So... I don't think they'd just blow people off without a response.
By the way, the message basically politely said their service is only for Japan.

[EspeonageTieler]

I meant, ask in Japanese.

i asked them multiple times and tried to sound as japanese as i could (unfortunately i used google translate so they prob knew i wasnt japanese or just thought i was a defective robot)

[Shinamori]

Never use Google Translate.

[jooozek]

here's my thoughts: rip pso2 gaijin edition

[IndignationSWF]

Google Translate is good for a laugh, but for trying to sound realistic in a foreign language, yeah no.

[DJcooltrainer]

Strangely enough, I can sort of access pso2.jp on my PC, but most of the image assets on the page don't load. All week, I would just get a timeout error. If I pull up pso2.jp from my phone, connected to the same network via WiFi, I can access everything on the website just fine.

Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come, as I was completely unable to access it at all from my phone or my computer for the last week or so.

[IndignationSWF]

I keep getting an XML Parsing Error on the site now.

[Tes]

I can connect to their site via my phone. I tried to tether phone internet to my laptop to play pso2 but it wouldn't work.

[Esofor]

40 mins

gotta hang in there

[btw-Niji]

/optimistic Elsofor

[fruiteaterz]

tweaker wouldn't update but freeze when i click on the new update available.

[Shinamori]

Well, I don't think Sega is going to address the 107/630/219 issues until next maintenance.

[btw-Niji]

Well, I don't think Sega is going to address the 107/630/219 issues until next maintenance.

[TaigaUC]

I think you have to disable your main internet as well.
The way I do it: go to the network sharing center, change adapter settings, right click your usual net (rename it if you want) and click disable.

Don't forget how to turn it back on.

[Dephinix]

Google translate is for YOU, YOOOOOUUU, to better understand what is being said. Not to necessarily translate what you mean into another language. People are paid a dollar more based on language for a reason. If google did it all successfully, that payment would be obsolete, don't you think? I've talked with Japanese that spoke enough english, and it is MUCH different from translate. Don't put so much faith into a lack luster program. Programmed are made in DIFFERENT languages, expecting a simple thing like google to make the difference is ignorance. It's gives the idea of the message if you're skilled to putting the puzzles together, but otherwise, it's not going to make your text sound like everyday MODERN Japanese. Please, refrain from thinking so.

[HaxMega]

People who can connect to the main website on your phone, can you check the IP address location by going to whatismyip.com ?

I originally could connect on my phone (Verizon), and managed to play the PSO2 using it a few days ago, but it stopped working. I'm guessing it's because the IP assigned to me changed. I'm just curious what location it's saying when it allows access.

(I was too excited actually playing the game to remember to check when I had access. ;-;)

[Sizustar]

Maintance extended to 17:30


【7/2 定期メンテナンス延長】本日11:00より行っております定期メンテナンスですが、最終確認に時間を要して おりますため、終了時刻を17:30まで延長させていただきます。

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

I want to see the scratch list so bad right now, but despite being able to play the game, the website is a bitch. T.T

[IndignationSWF]

They needed an extra half hour huh? A bit unusual, but no big deal.

[ArcaneTechs]

extra half hour for more hope or disappointment

[Sanguine2009]

i think its worth saying now, even if we cant connect after maintenance its not 100% that we never will. IF its indeed tied to some other entity than sega then this maintenance will do nothing to solve the issue.

of course its also possible that we will be able to connect or are banned, its all speculation and theories atm.

either way dont give up hope just yet

[btw-Niji]

give up hope

[TaigaUC]

If I can't access the game on my normal connection after the maintenance, I'll try contacting SEGA.
I bet my IP is blocked because a bunch of idiots on my ISP participated in the DDoSing.
There always seems to be a bunch of assholes on my ISP causing trouble around the net.

My father's ISP didn't seem to be banned, so perhaps I'll have to switch ISP.
Worse comes to worse, I could buy some bandwidth for my phone, but that would be a big pain.

[NoiseHERO]

Well with the way regression and videogame addiction work for most people.

They play PSO2 when something goes wrong to avoid or neglecttake their mind off their real problems.

So.....

New players that haven't grown to hate this game yet, and people with stockholm syndrome are bound to suffer.

:D

[HaxMega]

Yea, my friend with Verizon Fios is now blocked/ can't access main website too.

[btw-Niji]

Well guys, it was fun lol. Good luck with next game / real life.

[NoiseHERO]

Maybe they're fixing everything, and then just putting in a real IP block. : D

If you're lucky that means VPNs will still work. : D

Wait that sounds too optimistic.

Oh yeah, RIP SakoHaruo. Guess you shouldve stayed quiet homie

[Sp-24]

Tried tracing the route to pso2.jp site, and, interestingly, I stopped getting 4 connection timeouts in a row before reaching the servers that are right as PSO2's doorstep.

Still can't connect to the game site or the download servers, of course. But, there is a chance that they are trying to help instead of IP banning everybody's ass. I'm not exactly betting on it, but it is there.

[IndignationSWF]

You do realise that saying "calm down" and "doom and gloom" seriously about the past few weeks' events equals saying "I have a wrong opinion" signed in your blood, right?

Yeah, because the amount of assumptions from Day 1 have been extremely negative with no attempt to even see another's perspective. How many times have people who expressed optimism been crushed entirely without even a thought?

I'm not above it for sure, but I recognize it for what it is.

Is it naive to believe that things will get better from here given the circumstances? Sure, but who has the right to stop them from believing? To be brutally honest I don't think things are gonna get better but damned if I give up before seeing the end.

Either way, we'll know soon enough. I'm done, let it rain.

Sorry to worry you more but I can confirm this to be the case as well. The google translate link to the AC scratch page doesn't even show the pics. In any case, I'll wait until the servers go up to see if anything wrong happened during maintenance.

[Sanguine2009]

could a verizon user that could previously connect and now cant do a tracert? im interested to see where its stoping

[NoiseHERO]

Basically though, from mixed results people are getting.

They're doing SOMETHING right now.

maybe they're moving everything back to the main server like that one guy said whose friend worked at SEGA. ;D

Or maybe they're just cutting off MORE people. >D

[W i n t e r]

Everyone's trying to flood the site immediately after the maintenance concludes. Meh, I'll wait a bit, probably go to bed since it's 4am here.

Can we discuss VPNs now, or did Verizon just shut access to PSO2 to protect it from DDoS?

ugh...I hope I can still connect to the servers fine...

can't deny it now...

[Edson Drake]

Let's not forget that the only thing this clears up is whether there was an IP ban or not, since the situation seems to be the same as before, it still rests in our providers allowing access to Sega once again, which as was mentioned before, may take at least a month.

Except, why would Verizon suddenly be blocked when there has been no DDoS attacks for a week?

I highly doubt they'd be slow on the uptake if it was really PSO2 being blocked due to cyber attacks.

[GMG]

Wouldn't be surprised if the DDoSer was checking posts here to see which ISPs aren't blocked, and then launching attacks from those IPs to ensure everyone gets blocked.

No, you can guarantee SEGA checks this site.

I guess its pretty much official now the fact they went out their way to block Verizon.

If you still in denial, wait all you want it... will be cold day in hell now were screwed.

While the blocking situation does sound far more likely now, assuming before that it indeed was a block with the information we had was rather dumb. There was very little concrete evidence to back that up.

THE MOON LANDING WAS A HOAX- *shot*


While the blocking situation does sound far more likely now, assuming before that it indeed was a block with the information we had was rather dumb. There was very little concrete evidence to back that up.
There was zero evidence to back the opposite, though, which didn't stop people from claiming that it's the only answer, and anyone who disagrees went mad in panic. In fact, tweaker still says that there is no IP ban and links to reddit, and that's where some people get all their news from.

im sure someones gonna end ddosing the servers again and this time for a lot longer

No whatever that person(s) is, I bet he's getting that "mission accomplished" grin all over his face.

naw there will be plenty of people mad enough to either ddos them agian themselves or ask one of the groups to do it

Let's not forget that the only thing this clears up is whether there was an IP ban or not, since the situation seems to be the same as before, it still rests in our providers allowing access to Sega once again, which as was mentioned before, may take at least a month.


This is IP ban the fact Verizon was knocked out should eliminate ALL doubt this was somekind of backend ISP issue.


O well Im not happy, they should had AT LEAST had the courtesy to tell us...

Thanks for wasting the last 2 weeks of my time SEGA kinda like torture as well as the last 2 years...

Highly disappointed :(


SEGA gave into the terrorists and they won

[NoiseHERO]

Huh now that I think about it, I guess hackers really do that a big ass bite out of every PS game with an english community.

People must really hate ya'll. BD

[Sanguine2009]

i bet it was a butt hurt SEA player with the mentality "if i cant play i'll make it so no one can"

someone should ddos the SEA server in retaliation

[LotusFX]

All fine here. Currently in Dubai and going to SEA soon though.

[TaigaUC]

No, you can guarantee SEGA checks this site.


You can also guarantee that the DDoSer checks this site, because the DDoSer also took this site down.
Nobody knows what the DDoSer's goal was. If it was to ensure foreigners can't get in, they could easily be checking for every ISP that wasn't banned and then launching attacks from those IPs to get them all banned.

[NoiseHERO]

omg it's so true, hatred breeds more hatred...! *_*

"THEY SHOULD GET DDoS'D AGAIN"

"I BET IT WAS SEA(no proof) THEY SHOULD GET DDoS'd TOO!"

[PSO-Valerie :3]

[IndignationSWF]

Welp, Oh well.

Well really, the official source hasn't said anything. The people running the Tweaker are trying to stay neutral on it, intelligently so, to avoid *causing* people to freak out. Up until now we haven't had much reason to believe it was honestly a purposeful thing. Even still, they technically haven't made any claims which is odd since before they made a very big deal when they talked about IP blocks for SEA.

Of course, they horribly neglect the non "Asian master race" fanbase to begin with. I wouldn't be that surprised at this point if given the choice they came out with PSO2 Kim Jong Un edition before even an update on the Western localisations.

[Jaquecz]

Well nobody feels like playing along and saying stupid shit :/

We've probably been cock blocked, who knows? maybe people in sega.jp are looking at this site as we speak, they see our ability to adapt, like the PZ method of playing the game and using free VPNs to get around other problems, and the effects of the maintenance are a result of us not willing to let some stupid ass IP block, unstable servers, ISPs, backbone providers, or the anti-gaijin side effects of recent server maintenance get in the way of playing PSO2/waifu simulator/chatroom with tons of extra features 2: electric boogaloo/our favorite game.

That's because the "official source" NEVER SAYS ANYTHING. How many times do people need to be reminded of how the SEA ban went, and how it was Asiasoft who spilled the beans? All that Sega says is that you can't connect from outside of Japan.

[Macman]

Lol.
Told ya so.
You can thank reddit and everyone else in b20. :)

[GMG]

frack VPNs and PZ...Ill pass on the upcoming gaijun witchhunt
