DranzerX13 65 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Square enix did it again and must've goofed. You can play Dragon Quest X without a VPN like they did back in 2014 before they fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik of Heliodor 31 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I'm assuming that this will only be the case for a few days or weeks, right? Because it seems like a thing that Square Enix would want to fix quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodus 1,822 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Well it will be 2 months in a few days, maybe it will stick this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranberry 201 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) At current time, USA and China are the confirmed territories that have been able to get in without an IP block. It's not a world-wide opening. A lot of payers are still needing a VPN. We've known for a while, but we haven't been broadcasting it as we didn't want a sudden rush of foreigners jumping in and announcing to Square Enix with a bright neon sign that someone forgot to lock the door and prompting them to immediately restore it. We've instead had a gradual trickle of people coming in, which is a lot better than a sudden surge. My theory is that this is related to the shutdown of Chinese DQX. I suspect it's not a coincidence that China can now get into the JP server. I suspect that they released it to allow the Chinese players to migrate to the Japanese server. My theory is that the US happens to be controlled by whatever setting it is that was controlling China and we got to come along for the ride.

DjKniteX 10 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Well.. If that is the case then I might pick up a Switch Copy and get on playing! (I just want a hard copy for my collection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erdrick The Hero 994 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Glad this is still a thing. Hopefully soon I'll be able to play again (again, again, again, again, again; lol)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodus 1,822 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I cannot comment on that either, sorry. @Cranberry do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranberry 201 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 We haven't tested every region. The regions that are known to be released are China and the United States. European regions were still needing a VPN. But there's a lot of European territories, it's possible some of them might be able to get through. We won't know for sure until someone tries and reports their results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
