The basic is, the TOS change was also in Alpha, and beta test, it is just going back to a similiar format, there are server planned for relase in US/EU, and also Asia(Korea, probabely, as Sakai was talking about G-Star earlier)
Another reason for this change to the TOS, is to address malicious players(RMT, Hackers, overly sexual or offensive id/symbol art, etc) As a majority of them are oversea players
This TOS change, allows them to easily address them.
He also ackowledge and welcome the normal oversea player, and knows that many of us have put in alot of time and effort, and doesn't wish to make us lose those efforts.
But if another situation arose that affects many players and it is from oversea, then they will be forced to take more drastic action(IP-Ban).
Also no foreign credit card will currently be accepted.
From what I understand, it's not that Sega won't take foreign transaction, but that it's causing more trouble then it's worth.
1. Foreign transaction isn't instant, some takes a few day, while other will take up to a month.
2. People use foreign card, and while the transaction is ongoing, they report the transaction as fraud, or their credit card company cancel it, as not sure of the foreign transaction is initiated by the user. aka. Lost profit.
3. Tax issue, as Japan's tax law regarding credit card is strict, which is why a majority of online service won't take foreign transaction.
And if you see a malicious user, please use the report feature and report them.
