In my opinion, although online games have social property, if you make some friends and see them as important since you start to play this game, later, you see your friends leave the game one by one.

 

At the same time, games have other very strong features that are worth to be explored, such as leveling, build stats, build skills, collecting gears, quests, etc. RO has all of these features.

 

That is my thought after I have played many online games. Friends are not my higher priority. If you mainly want friends, many social occasions are good choice.

 

You can do many different things, to build guildsmans by your own characters, and maybe someday you find some people to help you joining WoE using those characters. Also, you can build many characters who are contrary to their nature like Thief AB, Wizard Swordman, or Dagger Ranger. It is fun, and they will consume your brain to build them.

im also in EU, so i feel the same way. is it even in the very least possible to make an aco-_- with US VPN to transfer the expensive items to a new account that is registered to a US ip?

 

I appreciate your efforts to keep playing, but I'm pretty sure any time you try to log into an account with a European IP address, you're definitely going to get blocked from logging in.  And this is speculation, but they may have a system that (temporarily?) bans the account you tried to access?  Probably not because that seems problematic for people who live in not-Europe but visit Europe and try to log in.

 

The reason I'm sure they'll deny access any time a European IP attempts to log in is because: "All WarpPortal game access and account access will be blocked by regional IP."  from: https://forums.warpp...-region-access/

 

They might end up reverting this block eventually, after all, they did shut down euRO just to recreate it with fRO.

 

I have some friends in Europe also suffering, and we've got a few ideas for where to go from here.  If you want to talk more, about that or if you just want someone to talk to in general, please add me on Discord at Bittenbinder#2939, I'm going to be online a lot for the next few days.  I saw your other posts in this thread, please reach out to me!

You know there is no point of those eu players complaining to wp. It’s not wp you guys should go to euro HQ and complain why they have such stupid internet regulations. Most online game right now banned euro players not only wp.

fRO's publisher, WhyBe, complied with the regulations just fine.  jRO is complying.  Even "[ILLEGAL SERVERS]" are complying with ease. 

Warp Portal is uninterested or unwilling to comply.  I wonder if they were hoping to force European players to go to fRO and felt this was a convenient opportunity to do so.  Really though, I doubt it's anything so sinister.  Warp Portal has been dropping the ball from Day 1, this is pretty in line with what I've come to expect from them.

EU players should absolutely complain to Warp Portal.  This isn't a "stupid internet regulation", it's a good step towards preventing companies from commodifying your personal data, it's just unfortunate that Warp Portal does the absolute bare-minimum at all times.

Spoiler

Some examples of this include:

• They allowed a guide to exist on their forums detailing how to use a sandbox on your computer to prevent viruses while doing the surveys they link to on their own WarpPortal.com domain in order to earn KP.
• We have moderators posting about how if CMs said anything any sooner, they were "afraid they might lose their job."
• Warp Portal was wildly behind kRO for years until certain pressures arose from the aforementioned "illegal servers", now they're only somewhat behind (with exceptions for most QoL changes like Alt-Right Click moving things to your storage and numerous other things that are 6+ years old on kRO)
• Warp Portal's website is awful; it takes forever to load and it has numerous errors (I've come across posts from people trying to give money to WP only to encounter an error on the website for a month straight with little response from WP support)

With this in mind, I guess the only real surprising aspect is that we didn't see the writing on the wall sooner.

Only ones I've seen mentioned so far in news are ones where the player population didn't warrant the effort. The fact that WP considers all their games in the same bracket is saying something to non-EU players too.

For example, reaction comments to news that Super Monday Night Combat is blocking EU players:

"I loved this game but they abandoned it. They never fixed the severs to be in a playable state to let the game grow at least."

"The game has been completely dead for almost 4 years at this point. The only people playing it were people trying to get the TF2 achievement cosmetics, otherwise there was rarely more than 100 people on concurrently any given day."

 

"I'm surprised they're blaming GDPR for this. Isn't Super Monday Night Combat a dead game anyway? I used to love it but last time I tried playing I gave up trying to find a quick match after 15+ mins in the queue."
