A lot of ppl was waiting here for AION, and now its totaly disappointment.

UPDATE:

these countries experiencing the same issue:

- All baltic states ( Estonia, Lithuania and letland )
- Turkey
- Croatia


 

Your post and you are so full of fail. Have you ever seen a European map in your life? You are so far from Central Europe that your statement alone justifies not allowing your IPs to play in Europe.

 

Come back in 12 months and give your position in Europe again and we shall reconsider allowing you to play with Europe.

heheh You should look carefully on a map.

Europe IN GEOGRAFICAL MODE is from Spain to URAL mountains. That mean central Europe is Poland, Czech Repablic Slovenia, and ALSO Lithuenia.

But politically on a river Odra is border between eastern and wester europe.

Sure Baltic region is not EU  (yet) but is a cantral Europe not Russia.

 

P.S Same mistakes... Russia has more terrain in Europe than other countries.

You should check your facts. Since 2004 all 3 Baltic states are in EU.

I don't really get why you guys are blaming NCSoft for this. It's not like they want to alienate a portion of their customer base, that would just be ridiculous. Blame the country or the EU if anything.

They stated it is a licensing issue. That doesn't mean NCSoft is purposely avoiding certain countries, it means they are having difficulty obtaining a license for them.

I can't see the EU or the governments of the countries affected insisting that they be included in the Russian licence so what basis do you have for that suspicion?

 Honestly, you can stop complaining about how "its only logical because geographically,politically, blah blah blah its more like Europe" because it doesn't matter. Things like this are purely a business decision between publishers. If the Russian publisher said "we want these areas too or we're not going to do it" then they're going to toss you in as part of the package. Ultimately it comes down to who NCsoft thinks is financially worth supporting themselves, or if they should or need to pass it on to another publisher.

Here's another solution: many games have language-specific servers (for example, French servers for North American players in Quebec). I don't know how the distribution deal is worded, but can't NCSoft (or whoever is doing the Russian distribution) simply create a Lithuanian or English server among the many Russian ones? It seems that there's a market, looking at the petitions.

That would not help with the release date, but it might make people a little bit happier.

You wouldn't be talking the same way if YOU were forced to play a Russian version of the game, and be blocked from all other servers. This decision does not make any sense from the business point of view either, since there would me many more Aion players here if we were able to play on EU servers rather than Russian servers.

However I think you are absolutely right regarding the Russian publisher. NCSoft probably doesn't give a damn about three tiny countries, but Russians jumped at the chance to get their "territories" back.


The problem isn't even with the fact that we belong to Innova's support area, but that there was no official announcement whatsoever. So people who bought Aion from third-party publishers like Direct2Drive.co.uk, Steam and so on will likely be stuck with a pretty $50 login screen.

Just wanted to add something about Turkey. I doubt any Turkish player expects to have Turkish language servers. Due to expanses of a gaming computer, broadband internet connection and game itself mmo gamers in Turkey come from a relatively high socioeconomic class. I'm sure vast majority of the players can speak English enough to understand the ui or communicate with other players. After all, the only game with full Turkish support is Crysis. I, personally won't be buying the game as long as it charges of the VAT difference from a non EU country. Lotro Europe charges Turkish players over USD by the way.

North Korea connect to Russia and China and they have better relationship with Russia and China than South Korea.

So North Korea actually is part of Russia or one other province of China. This will solve the problem between North and South Korea.

Do like I do, and dont play asian mmos. For me, its the art style, but they also seem to have the most idiotic restrictions, usually based on fascist political bullshit.

Clearly Lithuania is NOT part of the Russian federation any more than Estonia and Latvia. Do you know if they are also being excluded?

Perhaps NCsoft need reminding that  you left the USSR about 20 years ago.

And the USSR dissolved around 16 years ago.

This is pretty fail on NCsofts part if they do this.

 

And Russia is in Europe aswell. There is more into it than this, the baltic states still by a large amount do trades with Russia.

Looks more like a simple topic to troll on a forum about :/

Otherwise STFU ;)

There is no reason to why one should accept this. Regardless if they are in US or not.

But the reasong behind kordesh is more sane than starting to make connections to former USSR or even worse... lack of human rights.

Actually, yes, I just got word about it today!

 

We?d like to fully clarify the situation around the availability and launch of Aion in the Baltic States.

Lately we?ve seen discussion related to the availability of an English Aion client and the possibility to connect and play on European servers. First of all we?d like to thank our community raising it as an issue, we?re very honoured to have such a devoted and enthusiastic community in the region and secondly we have good news to share with you all!

We?re pleased to announce that Aion, the most anticipated MMO of the year, will be fully supported by NCsoft West also in the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The launch will be concurrent with the scheduled release in other supported European countries on the 25th of September, 2009.

Our Account Management system will allow the creation of Aion game accounts from 10th of September and we?re working with our distributor to ensure that Aion will be available in local retail stores as soon as possible.[/quote]

 

FREEDOM!

Oh yes. I read all of this.

Then main idea of this posts lithuanians hate russians. It is because russians can stop Hitler invasion in spite of Lithuania and other baltic countries (especially Ukraine) assistance. What selective memory? When they speak about occupation they always forget about their doings? That people trying to convert main subject to nationalists discussion.

Then i very happy find what russians dominate in p2p games (i'm not too experienced in p2p games and i don't see it with my eyes, i think it rumors but you enlighten me with that). Because i'm terrible russian from Kazakhstan. Anyway main idea of p2p games it to dominate one player (or group) against another, it is Sims you now. Then i tell you don't cry and be strongest be organized  and you win.

About speaking in game: when i play in Aion i found many people who speak other than english in party chat. Then why people think russians must speak only on english in game but other people not? It nationalists words again. If you don't like people who don't know english just don't deal with them.

About main subject.

You ignore all posts where writed what russians laso want play on Aion Europe.

  1. Then what we don't have:

    1.1 We don't have any official information about IP blocking and about prohibition for people outside EU to play in Aion EU. If some one find it please post link on it. I write question about it to NCSoft support and wait answer.

  2. We have:

    2.1 Many people from Russia and Kazakhstan play in Aion EU without any problem.

    2.2 Many people from Russia banned.

But i found banned only account purchased through 3rd party sellers. All people from Russia who purchase Aion from NCSoft Shop or from Steam, plays very well without any problems. Also i have information that NCSoft actively check account information. Many accounts was blocked  and people receive requests to provide some personal information. After that all account was unblocked.

As result of this. We can many access codes will be stealed from NCSoft and sold trough 3rd party sellers. And NCSoft try catch all of this.

Then IP blocks - mistification.
