Well I m pretty sure the game will launch soon in Europe I have lvl 26 toon here and wasnt playing much last week cuz I was expecting something like this to happen. Just too bad cuz I saw already few European clans settling down here
check their website char transfer to the version you need is probably around or some form of compensation espacially if you got item on your toon you cant access anymore .just speak with them they ll check and comeup with a solution
they released the cs store not long ago, so i bet those player will be very very low in numbers.
i bet less then 100 customer will have used the cs store! its only days old lol!
umm... they are apologizing and also giving you an e-mail address to e-mail if you have concerns. I would guess if you are one of those people who are getting blocked and used the cash shop. I would use that e-mail.
uhh... 70% of the game's population is NON-N.A.
10% are gold spammers
10% are Botters
and 10% are N.A. players.
also... i've playd this game since CB2 and they STILL haven't done ANYTHING about the bots or spam.
Why should I believe you? How do I know that you just don't have some kind of agenda going here? They gave you an email to deal with the issue posting here makes me think you are up to games.
I have no intention of playing Aika, but it saddens me that in the internet age these things still happen. Globalization needs to get moving. How are we supposed to move on as a species when one country says one thing, another country says something different, and the whole thing just hits a stand still?
Its even worse one country says we are like this and if you are not like us we dont want you and close our borders.
Globalization?...keep dreaming never gonne happen.
Move as species towards a better world.......yeh right in your dreams maybe, but for real i serieus doub that.
As long you have all kinds of different religion and different cultures, most countrys will not get along very well im affraid.
In some limited way we have internet globalization but for most part its all seperate even in europe with language barriers and culture we dont socialize togheter they all want there own language servers/forums/sites.
Maybe oneday but thats far off im affraid.
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009..... In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.
hm... Now I am wondering if is safe to play allods, another gpotato game recentely released, maybe they pull this disguisting move again in the other game.
nice today i got banned all my accounts because im form europe, but at least they returned me 30$ what i spend for gpotato pints lol.. rly nice i was in Lost Mines Elite as tank and in second, disconnect, and cant login back
This is a legal matter, the game was always advertised as a NA only game, they are trying to sort legal things out and see what they can do to let ouside NA play. Deadline was April 30th.
On that note, Global Aika is being launched which is not open to NA.

hopefully it wont happen coz I really wanted to play aika and im gonna wait aika global to launch.
well on this note there are several ways for peeps outside NA to play the game, several IP applications out there...wink wink...and they do work...I use them in reverse since from NA and if any eurpean or asian game exsists that I want to try...

Yeah, that is a very good idea...in some instances you only need a proxy server to register then you can still keep playing even if you have a different IP address...

How are we supposed to move on as a species when one country says one thing, another country says something different, and the whole thing just hits a stand still?
Imho globalization has gone far enough. I dont like this whole "one species" thing....may be appropriate in terms of things like environmental protection.But seriously i fear the day everbody is absolutely equal and everyybody happily eats his burger >.< you can't distiniguish a german of an american. I think it would be sad losing all these things which makes a nation unique(tradition food etc).....it's just an example i am not anti-USA
at Topic: Things like this happening can be avoided easily by not being complete shitheads -.-
Globalisation is a good thing..
But it will take another 500 years.
And people will not loose their identity because of the globallisation, it has nothing to do with that, current countries might changes intoo nations of planet earth with each entitled to their own identity..
But the united nations off will have true political power and means to keep peace all over the globe.

This is the final update on the Aika service restriction issue announced on April 7, 2010. We informed the community that gPotato’s version of Aika Online would be restricted to the North American region. On April 7 (PDT), we limited new player registrations from outside of North America, but did not block existing non-North American player accounts.
We’re pleased to announce that non-North American player accounts which existed on or before April 7 (the day the registration IP block took effect) will be able to play gPotato’s version of Aika. The registration restriction will remain in effect for new accounts outside of North America. We realize that the past few weeks have been a time of uncertainty for the community, and we appreciate your patience while we resolved this matter. We thank you for your understanding and invite you to join us on the forums and in the land of Lakia for all of the wonderful plans we have in store!
People should stop writing bs about globalisation. Some MMO's just have one global server that anyone connects too. The fact that it doesnt work for Aika, is their CHOICE, not because its not possible.

I agree, its not about globalization, its more about the decisions that the developers and their corresponding publishers or distributors make. Heck, there are a lot of games around there that have local versions/servers in certain countries and or regions, and it was the distributors choice to make it like that...Not because of some anti-globalization BS.
...The fact that it doesnt work for Aika, is their CHOICE,...
Well, it is a stupid choice. It is not about globalisation as such. Internet is global, so should the game be. It is like if there was one facebook for EU, one for USA, one for Japan and an IP block for everyone else. It would not go far then, wouldn't it?
I certainly hope that it wont happen again. Since I was the only one registered before the ip block among my friends, I am not able to share AIKA with them. Eventhough i can still play the game, i would want to play it alongside my buddies and form our own party. We're keeping our fingers crossed that Aika global will be available soon.

true globalization is a nice thing but i agree its going to be longer for people to adapt.
i just wished gpotato handled it better. At least aika global is honest by saying "if aika is provided in your country then there would ip ban".
Why couldnt gpotato do it liked that?
im still going to play anyway aika global still!
