How can you sell a game but refuse to let people create characters .

Ok, by EU law has nothing to do with Japanese or American laws. SE is a Japanese company and what they're doing is nothing new to MMOs, some MMOs will put you in a Queue for hours and hours just to log in and you have no guarantee of even staying connected once you get in.

So? you're bound by region laws when you sell in those regions.
