why did Gameforge decided to IP block OCE players as well?
I recently logged in and it says its no longer available on my country lmao
I mean I understand if its just SEA region but why OCE as well...
anyway it was fun while it lasted..sort of
and also if possible, does someone know the list of region/country that are IP blocked? I would like to atleast know them
Why is OCE region IP blocked but in other MMORPG, its not?

i've read that post...and I know its due to legal reason..but why OCE is included? in other mmorpgs (the ones I play atleast) most of them does not include OCE to be IP blocked so I'm kind of confused.....so I assume its due to difference in ways of licensing or is there a possibility that you guys might make an exemption (for OCE atleast)

Hello,
Gameforge has the legal rights to distribute SW in Europe and NA. So Gameforge can't do anything with players outside these regions.

Oh damn you're blocked as well. Same here, great! I thought OCEA will be safe, I guess I'm wrong.
I'm too confident of us not getting blocked. BUT MAN, I'm also confused.

I don't know why you blocked Ocea as well, it sucks you know.

yeah me too...I was sure that OCE wasnt included then bam....
just right after I was starting to have fun with the game lmao
I'm not mad...just sad and mildly disappointed
.its also weird how they suddenly said its due to legal rights yet they initially allowed players from outside of NA region...its like they wasnt so sure on how their own legal/licensing contract works lmao -
Yep, oh well can't be help lol.

Basically, if you live outside the US or Europe, then you are blocked playing this version.
Also, if no company gets the rights to area's outside the US or Europe you will never be able to play in English.

use a VPN. Also, idk if its just this MMO, but all Soulworker adaptations are IP blocked. JP/KR/etc all are -- people just use a VPN to get around it.

I reached lvl 35 last night and logged on this morning to find that i've been IP blocked. It's so sad to think about the amount of hours ive wasted just for this to happen without any notice.
Im also playing from oce.

yea this really annoying and so sad with this BAD MANAGEMENT.
why must now the REGION BLOCK its up for excuse?
if this all about REGION BLOCK do that since first time OBT launching so we ppl from OCE or SEA no need waste our time for dowloading and patch and for more WORSE playing this game if in the end REGION BLOCK.
we all so sad with this excuse about REGION BLOCK (because we already enjoying and love playing this games).
Hope next time if GAMEFORGE launch NEW GAMES if they come with REGION BLOCK again just do THAT since first. so didnt hurting many ppl from NON-EU & NA.
