well thank you I just got the key but they block me from download the game lol perhaps they really block =[

really? i just downloaded the whole game manually. if you're trying patch. yesh. it wont open until 15th

Yeah they'r going to IP block anything outside of US/Canada they did that with mabinogi 1 and they stated long ago already that they would with Vindictus

Yeah, I've been playing Mabinogi 1 and I had to change my MTU setting and do some other stuff, to have perfect response from the game, since with the type of combat Mabinogi offers every millisecond faster response can be the difference between win or loose

I did enter Mabinogi with ip changed before = =" well, it's nexon ... they'll ban then =\ I can't even get into NA/EU server with my ip country = ="

it's like lol.... maybe I can't even play this Vindictus for the rest of my life =o or I'll just have to move to US/Canada lol - -(just to play game? ..... - -)

Yea looks like it Alu, Nexon kinda neglecting parts of the world lol
NA comes 1st after Korea that is, then EU and that's it

Got this from MMORPG.com for anyone who needs it.

lol alu i think they might have a global server later on for all other region not from usa/canada.

but then it will be blocking usa/canada ip lol.

this is why i didn even bother to test this game now heh.really dislike region block mmo.....

Yea the game is amazing though

So far Neo its me and 4 others plus Kazuki and Solar , so yeah maybe ill just put up a Clan.

A clan would be a nice thing

Got a few questions
1. Do we have a vent
2. Is everyone here playing east
3.Are there channels in the game

If your playing east server my username will be Ryuyoko and I'll see you there.

Yeah, here a sort of "official" notice concerning IP Blocks, so that theirs no confusion, because believe me, with all the Trolls hanging
around the Nexon forums, it would be to easy to misdirect a player in to thinking his or her country will be able to play the game without
trying to hack through the IP blocks.






Keep in mind that the IP ban will probably not keep everyone from actually being about to log in through other means, said person will just not be playing for very long is all as the player community will help out in spotting non-English speaking players and report them, as well as character names that look suspicious (BR / PL tags, ect.)

Not to mention what Hack-shield can pick up (VPN applications for starters)

So just a friendly reminder to our non-US/Canadian members, please try and wait for the EU/Global release.

I have to say I disagree with u on this one. Non-US/Canadian members shouldnt be waiting for the EU/Global release.
Nexon has been operating the mabinogi servers (the first mabinogi, the one thats looks like anime-style games) for a looong time. They implemented an IP block from the beginning so that only US/Canadian players would be able to play. I still wanted to play it so I found a way to bypass the IP block and play without lag. I played for a long time, then I moved on to a different game, and a year later, I went back to the game. My account was never banned, in fact, right now, my character is still there. The reason they put the IP block is because its in the agreement between them and the game developer. The agreement probably says they must block certain IP but it probably doesnt say anything about hunting down ppl with non-us/cnd IP. Which means that if u somehow bypass the IP check that is in their server because of the agreement, they wont be chasing you to get ur account banned. They are aware that probably a big part of the revenues generated by the first mabinogi comes from the wallet of players living outside us/cnd. They r not going to ban the 2nd biggest source of money. If u r outside us/cnd and u get into the game, just play normally. No need to worry about being unable to speak english, players wont report u and even if they do, u wont get urself banned. If they had to rely only in us/cnd players to get their money, their game would die quickly, it would become a ghost town. Allowing ppl from outside us/cnd to play the game, keeps the game alive. This applies to all ip-restricted mmo games operated outside china/japan/korea.

This isn't Mabinogi, I'm telling you right now, the game relies on strong connectivity, the minimum requirements is a Broadband connection, it's just unplayable without it, i mean sure, you COULD play the game with a weaker connection, but you'll DC a lot and even if you don't, people won't want to group with that person, especially if that person is consistently pinging at 1 or 2 bars.

As for the rest, well; i won't argue that non-US players will or won't get in somehow, i mean it's inevitable that they will, they usually always do, but it's still running a slight risk for that player to be doing so; but hey, people get away with it; and of course you are not exactly running the risk of raising suspicion if you openly chat in English, even if the English is poor, it's still English, and that's what people watch out for.

Although i do have to disagree about your thoughts regarding the CS store; the micro-transaction business model that Nexon owns is extremely healthy and it's stocks are always going up, but it's not a question of what country supplements what, that's not how it even works, Nexon of North America has it's own business model, just like Nexon Europe has their own as well, and Nexon Korea, and so on, they do not effect each other in any way, i just wanted to put that out there for clarification.
