Would there be the IP Block,after release, on Russians like all NA games?

[Thorn Hallis]

Thats impossible to answer at the moment.

But as long as there is no russian server I wouldn't expect it.

[Sephlock]

We'll see what we can do- IF you can get turbobit to stop blocking US IPs .

Thirdly, the reason this announcement stated 'North America' is that it's for North American servers – As we have mentioned we are working very hard to launch MechWarrior Online in every region worldwide. We may also run a similar Operation for other regions, therefore we are required to recommend that for the best play experience you register and play in your region in the near future. However There is no IP blocking. You can signup from everywhere just keep in mind that if you are outside of North America we cannot guarantee your play experience.

Enjoy your stay

A program that blocks IPs from the certain part of the world, so they can't play on your server.

You don't say.

However as Lima quoted you can't keep russians out. And if you try you will fail.

Thanks for answers, i don't expext russian server even in near 10 years, because we do not have that much fans.

P.S. (Vindictus and Elsword (and many more games) has IP block on Russia, and even Euro Servers of those has that IP block on Russia, suggest that i expect that IP Block even here..........)

Nope.

[Sephlock]

Yeah... although... why would they block Russians? Lag issues?

[Eiki]

The reason that Russia get blocked so often is due to data attacks and other such things that have become associated with Russian gamers. Companies block Russian IPs based on this stigma. Hell, I know some network admins that block access to any website ending in ".ru".

WOW, why are you so sure about this?

[PraetorRUS]

Because MWO supposed to earn some money and Russia is the 3-d largest market in the world.

Because PGI sound like they have a clue.
Unlike yourself.

All the calculations are serverside so only the laggy person has problems.

then there's no problem, is there?

clearly, the ip block works for the majority of people who can't stand pings of 50000

[Razor Kotovsky]

This isn't 1998 — Russia's on broadband mostly now.

I played BF3 just fine on american servers with 100-150ms.
