I am from Singapore and I have an EU account

[Neuflune]

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...

I can pay Crysta or credit card, no problems with it at all. I've been playing since Early Access of 2.0 with just this one EU account. I am in SEA.

And I got my copy from GMG.

Edit:

Yeah, the game codes that GMG had on stock were EU codes so naturally we had to use EU or AU+other_regions accounts.

It's ridiculous that they'd screw SEA over like that. SE is really not handling their first expansion very well. I'm afraid you'll have to see if you can get any of your EU friends to buy it for you and you could pay them back through paypal or something.

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.

I still have the email of the CS peeps asking me to register under the nearest country.

Lol. I register mine under X'mas island.

I see.

I bought the physical CE from a local store in SG and the store manager actually advised me to take the NA copy instead. He didn't tell me about the EU IP restriction issue but just said that the region determines the currency I pay the sub in, which technically is better for me to pay in USD than GBP because of our SGD forex rates.

Eu restriction is really painful...
I am playing on PS4, and have a Eu sony account. Means I must use a Eu version of the game (still have a spare useless JP version of ARR at home).
So the only way to play is to buy a digital version.

I love logic.

I have an EU account and live in the EU (Netherlands) and still get locked out of pre-ordering because my country is not part of the Serviced Countrys. WUT??

WTH Netherlands is not part of EU now.

For now I am just hoping other online retailer would have the EU version for sales without this silly restriction

Maybe we all should start emailing them. Rather then post here and pray for a reaction.
