Sorry if I seem like I'm repeating myself. This is going to be a multi-page discussion because of people's fears and hate are going to fill this topic up and a lot of posts are simply going to be speculations on why Sega JP hating outsiders so much.
This is simply business. It's not meant to offend anyone but some people are easily sensitive. It's not like they simply have a grudge against you, a single person, because they hate you or anything. It's only because the US version is coming and testing/implementing blocks to service their regions.
This might be just a test in the end and they won't block people. Sega will release a statement about it eventually.

I blame Orpa. He probably crashed into the authentication server or something.
Obviously, that was a wise decision of your's, but there have been people who've dumped hundreds of dollars in AC at this point, simply off of the strength of that fact. They were convinced. Just the other week in response to the AmEx block, people thought it would be wise to dump even more. If this indeed comes to fruition, they will not be pleased and shade will be thrown everywhere, despite the consistent red flags since July (arguably since Beta).
I simply hope this is a subtle precursor to an EN release, earlier then anyone predicted. 2013 was the official word, but you never know. It has arguably been long enough of a wait already.
Hey, people will do with their money whatever the hell they wanna do.
If a region block comes to pass and people pay for a VPN to continue playing, they're entirely within their rights to do so and it is not even close to being a stupid idea because, y'know, it's their money and their time. It's not even that expensive (especially next to paying for things like cable TV).
I'm getting kind of tired of that. I put money into the game knowing full well a region lock is possible and I really don't give two shits about that, and the constant noise about it being "unwise" just pisses me off. No, it is not wrong for me to spend my money where I damn well please, and I would appreciate it if people stopped bloody questioning it!
Damn, and I was in a good mood this afternoon, too, until this junk came along.
Indeed, most people throwing money at this game knew full well it might happen. They just considered it worth it.
Let's be frank: All online games are taken down eventually. We've all thrown money at them. The only difference is they consider a shorter amount of time (and more clothes, I guess) to be worth more money.
