Geography Lessons For FilePlanet

Category: Upcoming Games Game: Mabinogi Posted on Mar 05, 2008 9:12 pm


<rant>

I have waited so long to give Mabinogi a try. I watched all of the trailers and read all of Hyuk's guides. I've tried to distract myself with other MMOs but mehh, who am I kidding? I want to play it soo badly.


 

   So after being very patient today I downloaded the client, I had already registered my account and I a proceeded to the routine struggle with gameguard to make the game work. I think gameguard is a device that guards you from running the game in your first attempt. But oh well, I'll save my bullets for gameguard, because they need a post of their own.


 

   Long story short, FilePlanet made a deal with Nexon and got the first 24 hours of the game exclusively for "North American" members of their Free MMO Club in their words: "Free-To-Play Online Games with Bonus content for Suscribers". It doesn't even sound good…Anyway, I was just desperate to try this game, so I signed up for an account with my "Spam me, I don't check it anyway"-email and click through the activations like fire to get my open beta key.


 

 

That was when the ordeal begun, this is what I got:


Waddafak


   In case you haven't read my About Page, I am from Mexico and we are a part of North America. This just straight down pissed me off, I can't believe that such an established company like IGN Entertainment would do something so stupid. For those who don't know here are some websites that are property of IGN Entertainment:


 

Bullcrap

 


 

    Now you have an idea of the magnitude of this stupidity, this publishers are like "pros" because they have well known sites. but apparently they need Suki to drag their butts back to Elementary School.


 

Therefore, Welcome to Suki's Geography for Dummies

 


DUH

Lesson 1

 

What are the countries that the term "North America" include?:


 

Anyone with at least 1 neuron can Google it, here is the image that I found from the United States Central Intelligence Agency's World Factbook.

Well normaly they(Nexon)should just put an IP ban to other regions who have a version (Kor, Jap and TW etc) but then... theres no South America Version, no Africa Version and no Russia Version (and whatever region i didnt mention).
Theres alot of questions but no answers.

That is pretty stupid...and I know some who're using proxies to play, but doing so can be laggy which is something you really don't want in Mabinogi where you must not make a mistake or you'll end up dead.
