JP ppl won't put up IP ban unless you guys did something to get banned from it

There are cases where companies have put up an IP ban in the past to prevent different regions from competing against each other. I recall reading about a couple of EU bans from NA servers in the past because an EU server was starting up.

I knew Arad Senki banned US American IPs from accessing their servers since they have DFO, and DFO blocked European IPs because... just because. Arad Senki later on also banned European IPs for no reason at all.

So yeah, it might happen.

ip regional reasignment program is the solution:

It's not permanent solution if you don't pay for it though so.

Well i can full say that the ip block is just smoke and mirrors lol. just got on the SEA April 4th beta servers just fine lol just kinda hope they add more servers cuz just 2 ships lol.

Care to provide some screens?

Are VPNs full proof way of playing?

It is beta, things can change in its release.

Are VPNs full proof way of playing?

Yes because the VPN would be what's connected to the server thus the server only sees the VPNs SEA IP. The downside is that the connection is slower and it'll likely cost you money if you want a decent one where you don't have to share an IP. Ultimately its not worth it, but you will be able to play if you really want to.

There's also this free VPN. I'm not sure if the speeds are any good for gaming though.

I know this is semi off-topic, but oh how I miss my DFO fix. I knew there were a few people on these forums that knew of/played that game lol.
