    This whole licensing stuff is getting out of hand. I miss the days where every mmo only had one big global server and maybe a small foreign server for the country the game was made in.

    How can nexon block european ip when there isnt even a european mabinogi out anyway?

    its a marketing strategy to make more money.

    "europeans can't buy american cash shop, so we block them out untill we make a euro mabin, then we get phat cash"

    not really, if, lets say, a EU ip decides to release the game, and they dont want EU players playing on NA, they can request an IP block from other countrys.
    this was most likely asked by the makers of the game so that they can sell it to other ip's and make more money, has nothing to do with the publisher really.

    If that's the case why haven't Nexon made it Global until an EU version is made? Because I might not see the light of day of a EU version.

    Werewolf has danced over the cash shop reason abit. There might be some trading issues for overseas customers.

    I'm from the UK and I was able to play.

    However, then, I got bored of the game, thought it was awful and went to play CoV for a while.

    Glad I didn't waste my time.

    IP Blocks = Less lag, and more money.

    You basically force an area into spending it on your game instead of others. If a IP Block request is sent by the game host, an EU version is imminent, or still in the works of being licensed.

    its not nexons fault but at least they are actually trying to fix the problem by opening games for each region like maplestory soon it will expand into their other games just gotta wait a while longer

    Wait... if the IP block is directed mainly towards Europe, does that means South America could also be unblocked? Like Australia?
