Mabinogi

Managed to play a little last night, as they hadn't added in the IP blocker, but now can't connect any longer

I am truly gutted as I finally found a game I enjoyed and now can't play

Hope my American friends can enjoy what sadly as a English Citizen I am not privileged enough to experience

indeed, it's truly sad. ever since Nexon opened a european office they have started to block european IP's on games hosted by Nexon of America, even if those games don't have an european counterpart.

the Maple story global (which is actually not so global) does not allow europeans to create an account to force players to Maple Story Europe, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that Maple story europe's version update is way behind the Global one.

Asiasoft (Nexon's South East Asian partner) runs MapleSEA (Maplestory) here for Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines' players but it seems that they're more interested in gearing up to launch CABAL instead along with RO2. Quite puzzling if you ask me as CABAL had been around and possibly with watered down anticipations by this time of the year.

SEA players won't be seeing early Mabinogi actions too..

the ip block is important as to many players conecting from other countries will lag the intire server and cause problems for ever players on the server

You should just ask for a european release. I believe 10T studios handles that stuff in europe.

p.s. its ok to want to play the game but it would be unjust to cause problems for every one on the server just so you and a few others can play.

they want a market but wont cater for it. nexon can suck my hairy ones....  and thats the reason why i would never play a piece of crap game like this..

nexon has nothing to do with the game other then hosting it

dev cat made and owns the game

nexon is likely even locked into a contact as far as hosting the game and totally at the whim of dev cat

dev cat likely only gave right to nexon to host in north america

so if you could play from europe nexon would get sued by dev cat for over stepping the contract

dev cat likely does not have a european host at this time

With your statement of one person lagging will cause everyone to lag is really only seen in a peer to peer gaming enviroment, which isnt used in modern era mmos.
If that did happen in a client server setup you would just need one person to have a cruddy dial up connection in the native area to lag out the whole server.
But as I said earler it should not happen.

As for the OP, find a decent Proxy Server.

That is a poor reason.  When Europeans are online playing, most Americans are at work. There's very little, if any, impact on server loads.

With a standard server client setup. Only your client would have issues. Other people will still be fine but would  see you 'jumping' around as you move. Looks like a blinking effect, you're here then your there as you move from one area to the next. But most games gave a prediction system that fixes that so it makes everyones movement smooth.

ok so with work they can make it work

but how does that get around the fact that nexon dos not own the game dev cat does

and nexon is only contracted for north american release and would be in court if they release a game they dont own in a counrty or area not stated in their contract.

sorry you will have to ask dev cat to release the game in europe

kk how about dev cat only gave nexon the contract for a no
