    Default Article: PSO2 (JP) - SEGA ID Registration Currently Region Blocked

    Update 11/12/12: The registration page is now working again for players outside of Japan. A big thanks to juliox for letting us know!

    A flood of registration page for Phantasy Star Online 2 are receiving a plain white page with a single error message on it:


    ??????????????????
    (Essentially says, "Not available from your area.")

    While initial reports speculated that the PSO2 client downloads were also being blocked, this does not seem to be the case at this time. In addition, existing SEGA ID accounts created from outside of Japan can still be logged in to and managed.

    Also worth noting, is that these changes are not specific to Phantasy Star Online 2. SEGA ID registrations for SEGA's other online games, such as Rusty Hearts, are also giving the same error page when attempting to create an ID outside of Japan.


    We'll keep an eye out for some kind of official statement from SEGA on this change, so stay tuned to the front page and forums for more info as it becomes available. There could be a number of reasons behind the block and it may just be a temporary measure.

    Default Don't be surprise it's going to be block cause of the US version

    Most MMOs publishers/developers block countries that are already being serviced in their countries so I if Sega does block all countries, don't be too surprise.
    This might be just a test in the end and they might not block people. Sega will release a statement about it eventually if they do.

    Default Well, as there are plans to

    Well, as there are plans to release it in other regions in no surprise if they've begun IP blocks. It sucks for folks who have invested a lot of time on their characters.
    "For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
    And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
    And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
    And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!"

    I'm surprised it took this long for them to go into JP ONRY mode.
