Is Mexico considered south america for you guys? Technically Mexico IS part of North America but some games ignore that fact and block mexicans :^(

Have to wait for SEA publisher i ok, but the problem is they not use english

Here is an old article talking about this issue:
http://massivelyop.com/2015/11…e-games-a-necessary-evil/
""Gaming companies are carving up territories into tidy little virtual duchies for the purposes of making more money from each other with localization, licensing and publishing agreements, and government protectionism greases the wheels of every deal.""
Sums it up pretty nicely. -
wow waht a shittstorm
i am not sur if someone has postet the reason.
i think, and this is my meaning to, the the ip block comes out cause the ciainafarmer/goldseller and so on
that's more the reason for ip blocking
for me i where happy that they make a server ip block but its not really practicable
because I hate it when I'm not addressed with my language.
for my part I would welcome it if all russians spains french and so far from the DE server are thrown out from the DE Server. it is a server made for DE. Why should I have to be multilingual on the German server, if there are Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, English, American and so on, to be able to communicate?
I just streit get English on the line. then stop already.
I think it's the Spanish, English / French Americans, etc. not otherwise.
If I would talk to an Indian, Turkish, Russian with German, they looks to me stupid ans say trainstation.
Sorry for the bad eglish but googletrans are wellcome

This really makes you think huh? GFs IPblocking method is pretty bad .- .
Now even without using VPN you can bypass the block... .- . Dont need VPN since they allow blocked players to play...
This makes me question GF's security measure on the game... Im no hacker, but if it was easy to bypass the current block, its scary what actual hackers may do to the game...
Good luck GF

I come from SEA which is across the "sea" and ive been wondering, does Ip block necessary for this game? and especially an ip block without any notice b4 the game begin truly FUCKSHIT.. This is a free game which all player deserve the right to play even Japan server doesnt do ipblock.. im not japanese and my language is *** and english . Does most eu game company full of people with 8% usage of their brains? Does Gameforge deliberately trying to ignite SEA player fury or worsen your reputation since you are already famous enough too the point you can ignore your customer feelings? as you can see, a normal homo-sapiens species could use only 10% for their brains and above that they are considered super genius or supernatural human. Lower than that are those who simply frog in the well who think the world is as large as the circle shaped sky which u can see at the bottom of it. Im not insulting those originate from EU/NA ,therefore dont be offended since im directing this toward gameforge and My point is.. i feel like im the one who was insulted because i was allowed to play the game on the first week and only to get myself kicked from the game after spending hours of playing with "excitement" to reach 55. Am i somekind of lab rat who you use when you found me useful and discard me once youve done ur desired work? oh not only me this also include all other sea player. SHouldn you gameforge make somekind of compensation to repay the time we lost playing your beta game with full of bugs and shits? At the very least why cant you just wipe our character (SEA) and let us play afterwards but completely blocking us.. do you think this is world war 2 ? Does this mean you show hostility towards those who doesnt live within your desired region? Dont tell me theres gonna be doppleganger Donald "Duck" Trump living in gameforge. Ive seen shameless idiotic company but ive never seen company as shameless as you . Hmph..now even ants company like you dare to call youself elephant. Arent you worried you will get squashed by true "elephant"?



ps: im just showing my opinion to the treatment gameforge gave to us sea users.
-
weirdly, I could also update the game even though the steam page is blocked in my country
-
i have told you, all palyers they was plaing befor the ip block pach came have access to the game but no acces to the steam paches and shop patches
the block is a reason cause SEA Asia goldsellers

But, wich region are those, and wich countries those apply?

SEA player give a good benefits for them, first they allow sea to play then after fixing bugs error they are in closer enough to make stable with the help of sea player then they block. without saying thank you for helping or being one of the beta tester?

"Hurr hurr. We'll release the game for you guys, give you your own servers, then pull the plug after you play for about a week. We'll claim it was due to "licensing issues", but if we were a competent company worth a damn, we would have resolved any sort of licensing issue even before releasing the game, since... You know... That's what normal companies would do. Anyway!
Thanks for understanding though! We just alienated the only possibility of sustaining this game in North America, but we're perfectly okay with watching this ship sink even before 2019 arrives!"
What a bunch of idiots. Even though this doesn't affect me as a NA player, I'm done with this game anyway. I'm going back to the JP version if I want to play (which doesn't have an IP block, surprise surprise). Between your increased rates, multiple bugs (which you claimed to have fixed and was the reason why you continuously pushed the date back in the first place), translation errors (did you have a 5th grader check the text in this game or something?), constant maintenance (which still hasn't fixed the lag), and lag (which you claim has been fixed, multiple times now), this is basically the straw that broke the camel's back. You had something good here, but you completely ruined it in more ways than one because you actually had a means of salvaging this game with players outside of NA, but now you've screwed every last one of them too by giving them a sudden notice that they're no longer able to play any more.
If you were attempting to show us how incompetent you can be by shooting yourself in the foot, well... Congratulations, Gameforge. You did a fine job with this game. Anyway, I'll take my leave now since I don't want to be any part of this circus any more. -
pls close this thread its just an "insult gameforge" thread nao
