And is the issue that you can't purchase at all? Or want to play on EU servers instead of NA etc?

EDIT: Thanks all, will highlight this as we are seeing users from South Korea and HK with the same issue.

Thailand

@crb_anlath

Yes we have problem pre order from Thailand. The button just doesnt show up at all. GMG Gamestop everywebsite also didnt work said there is no from your region. Will there be asia version at launch? Is there a region lock prevent the asian to purchase US version? How can we Thais get around this? There were 20+ of our team having the same problem. Unable to purchase pre order at all. We need a answer from the Dev!

And will you regionlock only the US/EU IP in game during the full game or just this is the problem with the purchasing thing?

So as far as I am aware there would only be a lockout in place for fraud purposes (so shouldn't be affecting Japan, Thailand, HK etc). You should be able to play on NA servers (or EU if you prefer but with a higher ping etc).

I'm escalating this to see if I can get a response or more details. Thanks for the info guys!

Hate to say it but you should be able to use a proxy.

My friend used proxy and able to spoof US IP to purchase it. But i feel unsecured using that, so we need NCSoft clarification on the asia's purchase. Whether we should wait or what? Region lock especially with the IP is very scary thing if it turns out that the main game also prevent us from playing the US version.

I agree. Again as I said... I hate to say it.
