Not as bad as I thought it would be when I read the title.
At least the "old" members get to stay. |
Haha yeah, I was wondering why I haven't heard any rages yet. I guess there isn't anything to rage about, really... no loss for those who has played for a long time.
|
I thought they did this a long time ago...

Helloes :) new player joined want to be a healer cleric read some posts , great forum!
...how come they are doing this? server lag problems? Im from UK luckily i just found Fiesta now :) Looks great in game ! love the mushroom house :)) Stormhand & Jascel lvl 3 (awwww) Bijou server. |
^ No, it is because Gamigo hosts the Europe version of Outspark, and people from those areas should be playing Gamigo's version.
|
"Please be aware that this change only applies to NEW accounts." Wheaw lucky me.... i live in the netherlands

Didnt the block for Asian happen at the beginning of open beta? before the cash shops?
|
I don't remember... :/
|
Asians blocked? @.@
I live in asia >.>...Didnt get blocked at all :cutielove: and why dont they just make 2 OS's korean and american?......? |
Better than the last EU block they had where they wanted to block existing accounts too. Good job OS learned to negotiate the licenses with others.
^Because different companies hold the license for Fiesta in different regions. Outspark only has North America. Back then Phillipinos and Europeans didnt have their own version,so now that they do OS has to stop intruding on their licensed region. |
Well there can only be a few reasons as to why they are doing this.
1. They just want an excuse to make more people download Fiesta EU 2. They want more different types of money @_@ 3. They dunno why they even did this. |
^Doesn't make any sense.
It's because the other licencers of Fiesta are making them ban new users from their regions. |

Its just simple... Outspark had the North American rights, but there were no companies that owned the license to other regions, so Outspark was able to allow multiple regions to access this version. But when other companies, such as Gamigo, published their own version of Fiesta, they got the rights to their own region, such as Europe. Outspark does not have the rights to Europe, so they have to block it so that people can't access this version, so that the people in w/e region can be directed to the correct one, and purely because, they just don't own the rights to that area, they have no business there. This is all directed from the big man, Onsonsoft, the developers of Fiesta. But since Outspark already owns many European/Filipino accounts, they cannot block those accounts. So they have blocked people in those regions from making new accounts. |
Weird, same message on gamigo forums, but erm tboth were supposed to do this half a year ago.
remember OS being really jackasses about it. |
Lol, I saw the title and assumed the worst... I'm glad it's only new accounts. And tbh, this is probably a good thing.
|
Wait so accounts dont get affect unless someone signed up on April 1...he cant play? @.@
Yosei nice siggy <3!! -steals- |
well at least they gave everyone a heads up and let the old players stay. thats ia great thing that OS did (imo) i would have been mad if they banned ALL players.
im happy cuz some of my friends live in EU and the philippinnes.... im glad i wnt have to loose them all >.< |

They silenced all that talked about, rushed in nice CS things, next day BANG all germans banned. |
^I believe they fired the person responsible for that?
But then again, it has been awhile. |
no they havent, it were Joker and Sking.
anywayz after huge comments they unbanned them and due to gamigo being gutless they didnt get sued(something I wouldve done) |
I didn't remember the persons held responsible were SKiNG/Joker/a GM. I remember it being someone on the more technical side, a nameless person who handled the non-public side of things.
Still...this seems like much too long since the time they were first supposed to be banned. |
Well I remember Joker going over it, anyway there they proved to me that they are arrogant ammatuers that dont give a damm for their players, just for the size of their wallet.
They treated the EU players like dirt there and actually thy could be sued for breaking the right on information. |
^Doubt it, but OK, if you think so.
|
The sue thing?
Maybe not dont know enough of the law for that :P But read it somewhere, also canit be trusted? dunno, anyway IMO they treated the EU players unfairly there. |
I think last time they did this most players got angry because they still allowed us to buy CS before telling us that we would be blocked.
So they still let us buy a month tux or something (and they actually released a load of stuff for us to buy) but were still gunna block us like in a week. Because that was false advertising they knew someone would sue (I made a few threats ;P XD) so it encouraged then to negotiate with gamigo. |
Eventually cause gamigo was trying that for quite a while already.
