@hallrock: We won't be given our own version. We're not big enough, so I highly doubt nexon would ever invest into giving us our own servers. They currently allow us to play GMS, so they should be catering to us as well.
Pretty sure Party play + PvP on DFO is a peer to peer system.
I agree BS event = BS -_-
Get a friend you trust that you know has maple, remote dekstop w/ them and type in your own password info, play for 15 min just so you can get your stuff, then log off and disconnect from their comp.
IMO, what are the chances of getting it. =/
[quote=hallrock]Australia is only allowed to play because they do not yet have a version of their own. My guess is that as soon as Australia gets their own version, NAMS will block the creation of new accounts from over there.[/quote]
Nope, Australia will never have their own one, considering we only have a 20m population they would lose a lot more money than they would gain, we are closer to Asia than NA, but obviously language is a problem so we are reverted to NA, another thing is they have NX cards out here for GMS, they won't move us, not until they figure it out or move us to EMS, which they won't do, trust me AUS will always be GMS based.
To be honest, I think they're doing this event because American/Canadian/whathaveyou people aren't playing DF enough. It's game revival at its worst. >_>
[quote=benevolentia]Everyone goes on about how it's "North America Maple" now, then why don't then block access everywhere else? Australian's are allowed to play, so Nexon should cater to ALL their customers. If they're going to let Aussies play (no, we're not blocked like Europe) then they should allow Australian players the same opportunities.
This doesn't really affect me as I'm actually on a working holiday visa in Canada - but it is something that does get on my nerves.[/quote]

Sigh, just use a proxy..
that's what I did.
Yeah I live in brazil, and I can't download as wel, it says that only North America and Canada are allowed to Download it D:
this is not even fair...
I love complainers. Now you know how I feel. <3
[quote=Rustsmoothie]@KingKong06: But this has nothing to do with EMS, it's about not being able to access DFO. We don't have DFO in Europe, so I think it's highly unfair that we should be blocked from the game, especially those who have working Nexon accounts which were made before 2007 when the IP block was put in place.
Just because I didn't 'jump ship' and play on EMS when it was released doesn't mean I should be excluded from some of the GMS events. I've put too much time and work into my characters to just leave it all behind and start again, unfunded.
As long as you have a [b]working[/b] Nexon account you should be allowed to participate in all the events hosted on GMS, regardless of your Country.[/quote]
I didn't mean for you to go to EMS, I just meant that there is a separate maple for events in your area, I usually make GMS accounts for my friends in the UK because I lived there for 14 years
more newbs with pink beans great........ now they wont b rare...
[quote=Dragon648]Why IS IT CALLED GMS
when u only can play in Canada or US
ITS NOT FRKEN GLOBAL[/quote]
I'm very sorry to burst your bubble, but......Canadians and Americans aren't the only ones on the North American servers. derp.
Come on...they're ingame items. Its not like they're plushies or t-shirts which need postage and handling to be sent overseas. There's really no reason why Nexon doesn't let people outside US and Canada do these events.
[quote=Deviched]We would get more spanish speakers and more pissed off russian players than ever. (Just throwing random races out)
We already can't understand eachother. That's adding to the maddness.
-----
Not living in XXXXXX Country ? You have little off to say about how BS what something is based off another county is. It used to be NA MS. It's now Global MS. It, somewhat, allows other counties, but times/events are based off of NA time.
-----
Why compensate another country that's always complaining that a game that's in North America because time zones are different?
----
[b]It is based off of NA timezones. That is the only difference minus the IP blocking. You are still able to play.[/b][/quote]
Dude, I'm saying that if Australians can play maple, then the events should be available for Australians to participate in, if not then you should put us into EMS or add us to the events board, and as for Language speaking, EMS has french, spanish, english, sweedish, german, and probably many many more, so don't say anything about languages, only because you aren't affected and can actually participate in the event, don't act all high and mighty and look down on us for saying it is unfair, because we have an extremely valid reason to be annoyed.
[quote=pimpballer]Click one of the options below to begin downloading the latest game client. Please note that service for Dungeon Fighter Online is available through Nexon America to players in the United States and Canada.
DUNGEON FIGHTER is for NORTHAMERICA they never said it was GLOBAL DUNGEON FIGHTER[/quote]
Yes, but the [b]GMS MAPLESTORY[/b] event should be available for everyone who plays [b]GMS MAPLESTORY[/b]
also whenever Nexon does a sorry-we-took-so-long-on-server-check 2x
the times they put 2x on are not the same time they had the extended server check on (its [i]always[/i] 2-4pm PST)
americans are asleep when server check is on, why compensate them for being asleep? >_>
[quote=Danistehgreat]They don't call themselves Global anymore. It's North America MS. They cater to North America. They have every right to do so. Stop complaining por favor.[/quote]
Easy for you to say, if you got nothing nice to say don't say it 'por favor'.
[quote=Rustsmoothie]I kind of expected it as soon as I heard about the event.
I'm from the UK and I couldn't play Poptag for the Gacha tickets because of my location, so when I went on the DFO website, clicked download game and saw the "You are attempting to access Dungeon Fighter Online from outside of our service area.." I just thought "meh, whatever"[/quote]
Yeah but there is the difference, you are from the UK, you are meant to be playing EMS, AUS are meant to be playing GMS so it's stupid...

web events/competitions are also limited to US + Canada .-.

[quote=cursorman1]I just used a proxy (hotspotshield) and I'm downloading the downloader.exe file for dfo. (I'm from aus)
So hopefully this works *fingers crossed*[/quote]
PM me whether it works or not.
LOL

[quote=Chuey]North America MapleStory caters to North America. I am truly shocked at this development. It barely makes sense!
... even GMS stopped calling itself GMS a while ago. Only Maplers actually call it Global, as the only foreign players, quite frankly, have been playing since before the cut-off a while back. Sorry you're late to the game.[/quote]
I did play BETA, but didn't change E-Mail to Username so my account got deleted, but this account now is JUST after open BETA.
I love seeing Aussies QQ in this thread

Oh it works... it works well.... ;3 hehe
[quote=moonpanda]Yet they sell NX cards in Australia and NZ?
GG.[/quote]
Yes, because the price of manufacturing a piece of plastic compares to a room full of large computers.
GG.
Step 1: Use a proxy.
Step 2: Stop being so mad bro.
[quote=x3Miku]iguy, i had no idea US and Canada = the majority of maple and that the rest of the world is the minority group O.O[/quote]
...You honestly think that there are more australian GMS players than the US?
Canada, maybe, but that was probably to save money on setting up a server on the other side of the world.

So...an event that gives players free cash items in two different games is suddenly comparable to cow feces because a minority group can\'t have access to it?
Lol...OK
But all that stuff behind, that sucks, maybe next event? xP
[quote=Tomz13]OMG i hate nexon, whats the event btw? :L[/quote]
You can win really good MS items for getting to level 10 on DFO and playing 1 hour a day on MS.
And we can't do it because we live in AUS, it's ridiculous.
i thought of downloading it too, but: "This game is only available in US and Canada" FML
EDIT:
Derp.
and i was gonna download it ;_;
wow that fails....
