Regional servers question

Will there be ip blocking preventing people from playing with their friends from other regions?

I heard there would be regional prices (yey in poor country) but Intrepid are considering locking those who use regional pricing on their own servers (not yey in notoriously toxic gaming community country).

If there is gonna be ip blocking and server locking think it's a bad decision that would only benefit vpn makers and split the community. I have friends all around the world and I would love to be able to get us all together even I have to pay the conversion of 420 yenrupeebles for 1$

    There will be regional locks on the regional priced servers.

    But no there are no regional locks on the normal priced servers, however, given the nature of Ashes of Creation most of your friends are going to want to play on their local servers due to prime-time events.

    We play dnd with 15 hour time zone difference so I guess we'll manage that.

    Hi Riessene

    It looks like Jahlon gave the best answer to this already so I'm closing this thread now. If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out again.
