Not a fan

hmm I suppose at the back of my mind is the uncertainty about devoting time and possibly money into a game I could get banned from.
Maybe a western server could alleviate this concern.

Im waiting to see SEGA's next move.

Just to add Anduril's post related to ban, think I can (unofficially) assure you that you won't get banned just because you're from outside Japan.

First, so many people have been playing since 2012 until today. There were doubts time to time, but it's been almost 7 years now.

Second, when the game is released to southeast asia, all players from there were IP blocked. I think it's to keep people from there to play the southeast asia version instead of japan, due to contract or whatever. From what I've heard, that IP block has been lifted since 1-2 years ago, a year after the game was shut down in there, I think? Which kinda prove that they don't really mind about it.
