I think I should add more info about me as a casual player in China.
1. I Started this game 5 months ago, and now I am a Rank 2, lv50 RDM, and my 11-year-old son joined short after and now he is a lv48 war atm.
2. After I started, I had posted a thread in the New Player Introduction and stated some problems I had with the game. And I mentioned that the Search Function didn't work, and me and my son forced to used a paid VPN in order to get this game work. I am no internent expert and I did mention my worries about being treated as a RMT because of the use of VPN.
My Original Post on Jun 4th:
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=10843I dont know if any of the GMs had ever read that post. Though I am sure I didn't get any replies, neither in game or in the forum, told me that use of VPN could result my account banned in the future.
3. Me and my son never shared account with anyone, nor joined any community of any sort. I joined an social LS when I was started, and my son joined a mithra LS, but mostly we just played by ourselves and double-team to farm some tigers or dhalmels for gil and lving, and our playtime is quite limited, so we got only lv50 and didnt even get LB1 finished after 5 months of playing.
4. I have double-checked and pretty sure we didnt violate any rules, expect the Use of VPNs.
5. As a player in China, I can visit the forums normally, but CANNOT visit the NASCHAT with a internet VPN. That is the reason why I didnt go to NASCHAT and stated my issues there, but after
6. The Gaming VPN we use are different than the browser VPN. It is more like a gaming accelerator. We could use it to play games, but cannot use it to get on NASCHAT or visit youtube or google, and for getting an brower VPN, we need to pay addtionally.
Frankly me and my son both love this game, and we just wish there would be a warning or statement to inform us that the use of VPN could cause our accounts being banned. If possible we would wish a review on our accounts and all accounts if possible.
Lol. Seriously? Banned too? Lol
