Rectricted "Exclusive Access" countries

General Discussion
#1

Hello, I really want to play and play at an earlier stage, buying the “Exclusive Access”, I know most of us do.

But the problem is I am from one of the restricted country that is written on

It says “The following territories will be restricted. “Korea/Japan/Taiwan/Indonesia/China/Hong Kong/Macau””

I want to inquire why those countries are restricted to pay the Exclusive Access? are those countries are having plan to open their own server?

I am actually living at Japan, but I am not Japanese, so I want to play the English/International version, is it possible to play started on June 16?

By any means I want to play and Early Access, so I can learn and start earlier. So I want a clear and reasonable reason for this restriction.

I apologize if I am being rude, but please understand.
Thank you.

Yes, those countries already have a publisher and gonna open their own server soon.
If u live in those countries, you can’t participate in iToS, unless you connect through a VPN.

Thank you for your fast reply. So is it still possible to pay the Exclusive Access, and play with VPN? and is VPN legal? I mean if I use VPN to play here is there any possibility to get banned because it is an Illegal activity or something

#4

i don’t think u will be banned cuz VPN.
Since people nowaday use VPN alot to reduce their ping.
I’m pretty sure that u can play in early access with VPN.
U will also need VPN to buy this game on steam, or u can ask your friend who didn’t live in those countries.

The best choice is you borrow your friend account and try to play with VPN first b4 buying the game.

They strucked a deal with publishers in some of the mentioned countries before Steam launch was even a possibility and region lock was part of the contract. The money coming from these deals helped develop the game and IMC can’t go back now.

Thank you. Let’s hope restricted countries can access from their own respective countries. Also if I may ask, is SEA server will also available there?

#7

I believe, like Brazil, SEA will have it’s own server managed by IMC, separate from the international servers but not region locked, don’t quote me on that tho, not 100% on this.
