For North America?

[Yosei]

Other than on gamengame, which ISN'T Outspark, I haven't seen any offficial proof that Outsparks Fiesta is for North America only.
Perhaps Izahead will be able to give us some sort of answer?
I mean.. if its only for America, then okay, but thats just stupid in my opinion. Its like teasing the forieigners. I'd be sad if we were all split up.

well just coz they're based in NA.. it doesnt mean its not for the rest of the world. Not specifically for fiesta but over all for other international companies.. they hv to pick a headquarter....

I'm pretty sure some where it was stated that Fiesta is for North America and not Europe, Asia, etc. Its fine if they play here but they need to speak English thats understandable and when/if they get their own version they need to leave.

This is a classic case of "blown way out of proportions."

Most English-language-orientated games tend to attract an international audience. And most English-language-orientated games have their servers up in the US. Why would you even start shit over this?

So far it's only China that has been banned right? I don't say only to mean that China isn't important just to clarify that it alone has been banned. China has some pretty strict rule and regulations that they try to impose on game companies so maybe it was just better (easier) for Outspark to ban China rather than try to conform to their rules.

Before all this I don't think Fiesta has ever been supposed to be geographically limited to North America and it probably won't be in the future, but that's just my guess.

Nothing wrong with having a little debate. Some of us are um, I dunno if you could call us "hardcore Fiesta players", but we are regulars, and we are not all American.

as far as i can tell from teh ToS... all u need is DSL or cable modem connection... said nothing about where u need to be based and whethe ru need to know how to speak english...

however:

basically means they can ban any country they want =/

hohum. i went to read the Outspark Terms of Service. @_@ (OMG. WAS IT LONG) And i dun really see a " FOR NORTH AMERICA ONLY " signboard. Maybe foreign IPs are allowed ?

Fair enough.

Most games have their doors open for the whole world and stay that way, like Maplestory, Ragnarok Online, Granada Espada, etc. And besides, considering how low the population is in Fiesta, they wouldn't dare ban IPs from other countries.

(I never heard of a game that banned IPs from Aussie-land. Only major Asian countries.)

[O-mie]

I think it should be english server, not north american. English meaning, just freaking speak the language. If you can't, play on a server that supports your language. >_> I mean, I wouldn't wanna play on a game I couldn't understand...what's the point? Lol

[Zotius]

Yea. And well if it was for North America only then they would have sent us away a lot earlier.
