Hey EN Masse,

I live in Asia. i can't join Korean Server. And don't wanna join the europe one either because the latency / ping is not the best for me.

This is a source from a mmo website.

"En Masse will block IPs based on region. Asia, Africa, Russia, and the Middle East are included on the block list. While we appreciate that there are players in these regions who would enjoy playing on En Masse servers, it's unfortunate that the vast majority of Internet traffic we see from these regions are from cyber-criminals relating to account theft, gold-farming and other hacking behavior."

Above was the statement En Masse made in response to the ip block that will be implemented in TERA North American servers. It's good to see that En Masse is seeking every means to protect the TERA community, but blocking half of the world's players from playing TERA might not be the best choice and it might not be able to keep TERA clean."

I mean Seriously. your hurting your innocent customers. and do you think an IP Ban would stop Cyber Criminals? They will just find some program/proxy/shield to get past your security and us innocent players are suffering here.

Not to point out the obvious but, proxies aren't just for cyber criminals.

*slow clap*

EME is aware that there are legitimate customers who the IP ban harms. However, they've evaluated the traffic from Asia and determined that the amount of legit players is not enough compared to the harm done by the cyber-criminals from there. It's unfortunate, but why are you unable to play on the Korean servers?

^
I understand. so i should walk away and go back to my Archeage.

^P:S thats how Sad Customer feels.

By the way i'm an American // Korean and i have a American Citizenship. but i moved out of the country.. and now i don't feel the love from the states anymore.

C'est la vie...

I'm a bit confused. Are you in Korea? If so, why can't you play on the Korean servers? If not, why what's the advantage to playing NA over playing EU?

^ Yeah thats kinda sad for me. i mean 'us' if you people are reading this..

Find it amusing how Koreans also think the same way as Enmasse.
I'm Half Korean so i know what are the users talking bout'

Korean think the American / Europeans are
"cyber-criminals relating to account theft, gold-farming and other hacking behavior."

Stealing KSSN , Proxying into their game. Talking English in their server etc.

It's like someone talking Korean in your English server.. kinda weird huh?

@FuzzyWuzzy I'm not in korea *now*/ but i live in Singapore.
