    So you're complainging you're not the first to try it out?

    Welcome to the global economy.

    This is no different from Korea testing out every NCsoft title before the West, or from Darkfall being Euro first, of from EQ being US first.

    The US isn't the center of the world, get used to it because many games are going to be Asia/Europe first in the coming years with such a weak dollar. Complaining about it isn't going to change anything.

    Obviously thats not what he is complaining about.

     

    IP bans are asinine, just a money grab tactics by shitty companies who dont feel the need to research and localize unique games they just take a popular game and localize it, and if another company already has plans to do it, they just add an ip ban along with it.

     

    YS online however has no US publisher, teh ipban is unnessairy.

    Wow, ignorant much?

    Any company has every right to release how they want. You have no say on how and where a company releases. Why would they let US players on their servers if they aren't even releasing there yet? Servers aren't free you know, beta tests do cost money.

    I'm getting tired of players complaining about everything possible like it's their god given right to moan and whine about every little detail humanly conceivable.

    They don't want US beta tester, fine, it's their right, deal with it or don't buy their games. The end.

    Of course if you'd watched the official trailer you would've seen the whole Europe thing at the end of it.

    Live with it, there is a reason it has three Ws on most websites, WORLD wide web.

    you guys completely blew it up.  I didnt watch the trailer, I remember Ys from the old console days, and I never got to play it.  I always loved everything I read about it though.  Neither MMOsite, nor the official site have it written in big letters anywhere that its a EU only beta, I am not mad that I dont get to play, I could care less, I am mad cause I wasted 3 hours of my time downloading and registering a game I cant play, thats it.  They need to take some things out of the fine print, and put it in big flashing banners to save the loss of bandwidth and precious beta keys, of which mine was wasted in both aspects.  I swear you guys just look for reasons to flame.

     

    I also notice all but one of you are european... betcha feel special attacking people for no reason LMAO

    See that's your first mistake right there, a beta test isn't a preview it is a TEST and if your not in the area which is of interest to the developers why would you expect them to make it international?

    2nd mistake was to download a game without even checking the official forums of the game(reading the forums for 5 minutes would have saved you alot of trouble).

    3rd mistake was to get a beta key at mmo-whatever website then come and complain on this one that they didn't write on THAT website about the ip region ban.
