If you’re a western fan of Phantasy Star Online 2, I’m sorry. SEGA still doesn’t care to take your money, apparently, because the company’s on-again-off-again IP blocking scheme for PSO2 is on again. A few days ago, the IP block for customers outside of Singapore was lifted, enabling fans around the world to partake of publisher Playpark’s PSO2 service. Prior to that, you had to use a VPN if you wanted to play the game.
As of today, though, the IP block is back and customers outside of Southeast Asia are relegated to third party translation apps and IP block circumvention techniques.
