I am from Singapore and I have an EU account

Question: how do you pay your monthly abo? You cannot use credit card right? Because the Mog Station is doing IP checks, same as SE Boutique...

Is EU that stringent?

I'm from Singapore too, but on NA account, paid by credit card. No such issues on payment (but I haven't pre-ordered Heavensward yet, no rush since I'm only getting digital CE).

I've always thought that region doesn't matter since what it essentially affects is payment currency.

Paying in pounds is quite expensive...

No problems with payment. I just renewed my sub for 6 months a week ago.

I started with the EU collectors edition when 1.0 first came out and it continued up to now.

you can sub (they happy accept) but you cant buy digital copy they block you ! se doesnt give a damn about us thats the punch line !

Well, SG here too. some of my FCmates are trying to get the physical CE too. some tried VPN, managed to bypass the "...region" thingy only to end up with payment error.

If I recall, most of us bought the game from GMG and other SG based online retail stores. And was advice to register under EU and other regions, this was either a SE Mod or some forum vet. Either way, most of us from SEA are registered under EU. And I thought that after a bloody year they would have sorted out this region locked BS. It is a digital download of an online game for crying out loud. Piracy issues, which is the main point of this region locked crap in the first place, doesn't remotely exist.
