Riders of Icarus - Countries not on the IP - allowed list

Really? Leave out the whole of Asia? You dont want our money eh? History repeats itself like TERA, by the time you lift the IP block, we have all moved on to other games, noone is hanging around waiting for you to get thru AT&T, OR alternatively you want all of us to use VPN so your server lags up? :P

They probably have a different publisher for Asia and are constrained by contractual obligations.

Yes, there's a Korean version of the game called Icarus Online.

There is also a JP version... this game is a Asia port over to the west, no idea why you would think the western publisher would support Asia.

Also the Asia versions are a couple years ahead... western will be behind them. TERA is a Asia port too....

Why would you wanna play this western outdated ports we get if your from Asia?

There are  asian countries that use the English language as a primary language, is this a shocker to you?

Then move on to other games.

That's irrelevant. The publisher's licensing agreement prevents them from offering the game to customers in certain regions, specifically those regions already covered by the developer who they're licensing the game from. You can either play the version of the game that's offered in your region, or find a way around the ip block.

Well let's see Malaysia and Singapore were former British colonies. Then Indonesia - Dutch. Vietnam - French so I guess every publisher should strive to provide these languages too. I think being Malaysian myself it has often made me annoyed at this problem just as the Australians dislike being lumped into Asia in some games but publishing contracts have terms and they pay for the rights so naturally companies who negotiate these contracts do try but often languages as numerous as those in Asia will cause issues.

It is due to licencing rules and regional laws. It is liek this with every mmo, something you will need to grow use to.
