So, are people from the UK/EU banned from LimsaLominsa already?

Since the online safety act and whatever is going on with Visa/Mastercard I have to ask.
Is the government now shutting your PC down when you warp to Limsa, or what's the deal like?

Not yet as scantily clad catgirls are covered under the age regulations agency (I.E. if your too young for it you shouldn't have been given access to buy it in the first place)

Athough theoretically if the UK government found evidence that FFXIV was exposing teenagers to content they don't like, then they can fine CBU3 up to 10% of their global revenue (Roughly 5 billion, possibly more?) even if it's due to third party modders.

In such an event CBU3 would also be forced to enact client side mod prevention tech or have FFXIV blocked in the UK.

Of course that would be a worse case scenario in which the regulatory agency put an unreasonable level of responsibility and punishment on Square enix's desk, however it's certainly possible.

ah yeah the classic EU = Europe = UK :rolleyes:

i dont think that anything illegal is happening in limsa. If someone violates the tos then report him and he gets banned

But if Visa/Mastercard is not ok with you buying games that have [retracted] content and you buy FF14 where you see a bunnygirl dancing half naked next to an aetheryte I do have questions 😂

Well let's hope they don't log-in to the game then :D

I don't engage with mods, nor participate in any similar events. That being said, it has an undeniably strong presence that such action would lead to the collapse of a huge community, which would spark the end of this game, or at least the loss of a big chunk of the playerbase.
