Nemesis Factor wrote:How can CCP require you to pay through Nexon? Does Nexon distribute the Japanese localized client, can CCP not distribute the JP client? If they haven't quoted you a solid price yet, perhaps CCP is telling them how much they can charge, and rather than adding in their margins to the top of the price, they have a contract with CCP to get so much per subscription. No doubt Nexon gauging you with subscription prices would lower CCP's revenue and their contract would be terminated.
At least you are not personally restricted by this correct? It appears at least you can use the English client well enough.
This, why not buy timecards online, or plex or whatever. CCP can't forbid you to do that can they?
Being forced through ONE way to buy subs if your allready subs is WRONG. It would make me stop playing (if I where japanese) tbh.

GTCs arent sold through CCP directly, so it would hopefully circumvent paying Nexon.
Aye, I have bought gametime through shattered crystal before, they do do a check on where you live though, through the phone no less. It was a little weird explaining to an American what my nearest hospital, highway and train station was (Belgium).
So I guess they do have some restrictions on what to sell to whom... The "clarification" regarding the cooperation with that Japanese company that is a sticky on those forums should be published.
I would thing that the whole move though a subsidiary in Japan is to encourage new subs that will be supported with a native japanese speaking team of GM and community reps, not scare away already subbed players.

But how will they to stop you from making a new account via the eve.is website putting in your visa card information and launching the client? (or paying through paypall for that matter, so they don't even know what kind of visa or card you have)
They can't block you based on your IP, because I could be visiting japan with my laptop or working there and be blocked for "not having nexon points"
So I would assume only if you play with the "localised client" they are building will actually stop you from playing eve like you did before.

You need to read the links that accompany these kinds of threads Nexon/CCP eMail wrote:Please note, however, that all players will need to establish an additional Nexon ID which will be used exclusively for billing and billing support. In short, the only change to existing account and login procedure is that after April 1, 2012 an additional login step will be added for players to access NexonGÇÖs convenient and secure payment system. The change above will apply to all players residing in Japan regardless of nationality. They are selling our Japanese brothers up the Han (Korean river .. get it? .. me so clever).
I see well my bad, so players based in japan, even temporary will need to fake their ip?
Edit: The more I think about it the more of a dumb move this seems, it also explains why there is absolutly no dev blog about this because they know it would be a "sensitive issue". I can understand having to go through nexon, but people who want their account and their english client just as it is now should not be blocked and forced to go through a third party. Especially when they don't use the services of that party.

i do find it very odd that if i go to japan, ill need to sign up with nexon just to log into an already paid for account
What if you are located in an embassy, and thus technically, on souvereign soil of another nation or a church?

Good point, several tens of thousands american servicemen are in japan and korea, will they be forced to do this. Because as I understand it they go there on "tour" for a few months or longer this means that more often then not they'd have to register for Nexon id, etc.
Spoofing your IP sounds like a very good idea.
