Blocking Non-NorthAmerica IP's
As announced at 3:30 AM, April 7'th. Gala is making Gpotato block Non N.A. IPS, Rumors that it's only Asian IP's.
- Most population on AIKA is asian, so this is a down fall for them.
- "We are blocking the IP's but your accounts will not be banned".
Many hard working gamers are very displeased by this, as they put a lot of hard work into the game.
(Comes into motion within 24hours)

At the same time, a global Aika was confirmed:

That means all my work was for naught? I, as European might not be able to play in the future too. Gpotato really knows how to ruin games
All the Asians so far are bots, so because their people and their culture happens to be a bunch of botters/hackers/gold sellers, they just screwed the legit Asians out of a game. Now currently from what I've heard, they're blocking all non-NA IPs, which includes EU and thats a big big mistake. We'll see the outcome of this in several hours....
gpotato didnt have the choice to do something !channel were full !if you went to pvp last week-end channel couldnt be access
i bet they dont mind too much the bot but when it stop new player from seeing whats actually going on,on their main feature!
then it affect their potential revenue .as last week-end event unfolded half the pve channel couldnt access the pvp channel because it was full so allies of some faction couldnt go protect their nation
let me tell you !words flew very high!(not tender words either)
im not surprised by this move !this game is big and they were running out of room in a hurry.
since we all know aika isnt ready for official release (since they are still early in beta test)they had to take step
adding server in a beta test!you would ask?
lol!when was the last time you saw any game add server in a beta test because server were full?
grin!yep you got your answer!
as for gold seller !its fixed now pretty managable at gamer end trough various means (was impossible before)
anyways !see you ingame guys!still enjoy this great game !even tho i have yet to see a dungeon (hell)
saw normal,hard ,elite very fun.havent seen lfg zant hell yet!
probably soon!

My Thread with Aika's announcement

Don't even waste you time with aika.... they will just screw you over even more.
i mentioned this for altheius for both channels. and may still work.
They probably will be using Xtrap to do the IP blocking. If you don't allow Xtrap access through you windows firewal, it can't block you.
I did this for infinity online and blocked xtrap access. i still played the game even after the block of IP's, *also i switched country that i was suppose to be in lol*
we ll see how this turns out tonight!but i can say this 650 player bother to comment in 24 hour and i can say
there is not many happy camper in there
as i judge this im sorry to say this is a very bad move that have the potential to kill this game before it even lunched
for now everybody hate everybody that made this decision and we are all holding our breat because the way it was
thats what made the game if they kill that they kill the game period
other ways will have to be found i know its getting bigger then they ev er thot whos fault is that certainly not player who loved the way it was is right now
notr the watered down version they ll be patching in tonight in about 12 hour!
i sure dont !i love the game because its the way it is now!
well it isn't Gpotato's fault, its GALA's, and yeah. Retarded. Even a a lot of NA players will stop, Now it will be imposible to get dungeons and raids?
On other thought, this did clear the bot issue by 80% believe it our not...
dont know how much !but it cleared everything by a lot
so we can safly say if ipblock does come online in 12 hour
there should be 95% less player in the game
now they ll have space!(not sure if its a viable alternative but its a solution
HEY!CCP! WE FOUND A WAY TO GET RID OF YOUR LAG ISSUE IN JITA
IPBAN!
not !if it was them they would work very hard to find ways to make it work at their end!
i lol about the EVE part... CCP was smart in banning the bots tho, they waited and observed and just crushed em.
As for JITA, meh haven't been their really. (worse then ORG/IF wow in vanilla?); But bliz is bad at running good servers and not lagging. AIKA can do 1000 player PVP with 3second lag, while bliz can't do WG 100 player without 10second lag.
As for a FREE MMO, quite a hard problem. not to mention Gala is retarded. (people are not going to want to start over from level 1)
Wonder how many will try my idea of getting around it. should work.
probably all gold seller!or bot will do the work around
but the one we play with wont bother they ll just leave the game!if the ipblock is in place later tonight
in the end their issue wont have been solved all this bull for nothing!
they should do like ccp and ban the botter from their game manually, if this move is their aim
aion does it! the gm go around incognito as a lvl2 3 whaever random if they find botter
you see a big explosion when that happen the dude account was just blown to smitereen
lot less issue since ncsoft did this!gm are in game anyway!
So let me see if I understand this correctly....only North American (USA, Canada, Mexico) IPs are allowed to play the game?
Is this correct? I am confused.
so far it looks like only a partial ipblock!was it like that before the announcement maybe!
one thing is sure NEW NON-NA player cant access it!
the way mmosite mention it soon it will be all non-na!
but its doesnt mather the non-na player i spoke to so far arent coming back they re going to the global version
who can blame them being slapped like this was so unfair to those guys i bet you wont see a lot of non-na player in na
game in the futur !it will be f2p global they ll be playing !i ll do the same!now this fragmented the very good aika pklayer base so much that im not sure if either version will survive this blow
gamer are very picky and when they love a game and some pen pusher somewhere make this happen
its bad business for the whole gaming market everybody pay the price
some said it wasnt the fault of gpotato?yep right!i bet the the game dev told gpotato we ll sell you na right
and then you can publicise it global !it doesnt work that way.gpotato was fully aware what they were into but obstinatly refused to give the proper color till they were to the wall by then they hoped .didnt work out as they planned
so they had to show their cards even if they didnt want to.with the result we saw
what will happen with gpotato ?i dont care i left !i ll play the global version when it goes live!
they can skeem all they want now ,im sure some will defend them etc .i wont
if it was the first time gpotato did bad decision i would tap them on the back and say it will go better
but its a neverending story with that company
my only wish is that dev from the f2p market use another company to supply the game to us t3fun or any freaking other
but please asian dev stay away from gpotato!or whatever they want to be called!
so far it looks like only a partial ipblock!was it like that before the announcement maybe!
one thing is sure NEW NON-NA player cant access it!
the way mmosite mention it soon it will be all non-na!
Ummm...okay :
So currently, new players from outside of North America cannot access the game, but mmosite suggests that in a short time only players from outside of North America will be able to play?
I still do not get it.
pvp channel was empty this morning their main feature dead so if it stays like that no use going in there since the pvp was the actual main thing going for it it made the game awsome now its like all the other mo!
Gpotato cannot help having to block IP's, they'll get sued if they don't, it's not their decision. Gpotato is simply a publisher, meaning they publish the game with rights to certain regions. If another company comes along and purchases the right to publish the game in another region that was currently open, they have no choice but to seize service to those regions.
t3fun?i wonder if they have to use the money from one poket and put it inthe other side pocket since
it is a division of handbitsoft!and t3fun buying the global right!can go wrong there?its global!
And why would we care if they block 'asian' IP's?
Let them have their own regional servers. Is it really that big of a deal? Not to me. Not to any of the gamers that I play with.
The gamers I usually run with are from the UK, Australia, NZ, Canada, and maybe a few other Euro countries... and of course the US. (English speaking)
I have nothing against Asian players, but it really doesn't impact me if they aren't allowed to play on my server or in my game.
i must say that the whole gm's blowing up botters in aion just seemed like a way to make ppl think they are doing something but in reality are doing little to nothing
kinda like one hand has candy and the other you cant see has a knife distract from one to hide the other
but then i could be wrong just a thought
mm !went in this morn and so far non-na arent running to na version!
my guess is they ll go to the t3fun (global)version who can blame them
insanelly good game but like everything gpotato does there is always something just a bit off !its like hearing your faverite tune
and suddenly your ipblocked because the provider dont have the global right!
i do hope it doesnt make player stop playing f2p game tho!if it was the first time stuff like this happened i wouldnt be concerned but men
allods
aika
and probably others before when i was playing p2p mmo
it begins to trully look very bad for gpotato and they hurt the whole f2p market with issue like this not just their outfit!
anyway me ill be testing karos till aika global goes beta
hopefully they wont take too long to go beta!but then aika team as a lot of polish to do before they can release
aika global both graphic bugsa and server capacity
32 bit version will need large adress aware active ,saw that last week-end
aside from these small issue ,they should be ready fairly soon!
anyway have fun in you next fix!lol
