*Important Notice : DMM is now trying to block the access from outside of Japan. (Error Code : 801)

[HarryOne]

They got some campaigns and stuff going on on DMM from what I can gather for the launch of their new cloud service, which is not region-locked provided the game you're trying to play isn't region-locked. Maybe they will eventually update the player to unlock region restrictions for games that don't region lock their servers like VV. And for the person who mentioned it, I doubt this anything to do with the Western restrictions. The only games DMM has to somewhat restrict access to are 18+ games.
On a sidenote, I decided to try out the browser version on my phone. Actually felt better than trying to play the browser version on my computer for some odd reason. So like, that's kind of nice in case you don't have access to your phone.

[HokageSama]

 

We have some issues in the future that concern me:

1 - VPN makes the connection slower. This is boring.

2 - If a VPN error occurs and KT finds out that you use VPN, it may block your real IP (and have your account banned, perhaps).

3 - If we have an offline mode, it harms players who still want to update and KT will lose interest in developing more content.

4 - Because of the conflict, isolation of countries and sanctions, will there be more things beyond the region blockade?

 

I just really hope the community always has a plan B, similar to what happened with Dead or Alive Online from 2008.

[chalombobo]

I have 12000 error What is problem who know this?

[HarryOne]

Is there any other text in the error besides the number?

[Hans Jürgen]

Strange, don´t have to use VPN from Germany (yet) since I have DMM launcher in system tray for weeks now. When I finally have to reboot I hope it´ll work.

Interesting to hear that an offline version has been made (!?) - could be a lifesaver if the game´s official end comes...

I don't agree to do nothing

 

At least they should be persuaded that a game that has been on the market for more than two years should not be blocked in the middle, which is very unfair to the players who have already spent on it

 

Unless it is like Umamusume that locks the IP on the first day of the market, then people will not complain about it. Like you said, this is the rule they set on the first day.

 

I have to say a VPN is not a solution

Once they maintain a blocking attitude, they should not tolerate the use of VPNs to crack their measures

 

Now maybe it's just a tentative evaluation stage so there is no further action for now, once we start to find out that even a VPN doesn't work, it means that they think players will acquiesce to their approach,

You have to give up in the end, because you don't even try to communicate with the authorities, and it's not enough for one or two people to do it

 

Also, if you are very dissatisfied with DMM, I hope everyone will simply ask KT to transfer your account to another platform

Well said!
DMM and TK take the money and run.

[fgo0/N0uz]

No need for foreigners.
Japanese alone can win first place.

Unfortunately, VPN accesss will be blocked as well.

I dont think they can do that. Even if with Quantum Computers they cant. Dont think China wouldnt try. Sometimes is just somthing between you and their servers. Happened to me for like 2 weeks and is gone now. 

[Eisakou]

Well, I do have a subscription to Express VPN and I can play all of the DMM games, but when I turn the VPN off while playing Destiny Child I can still play the game without having to connect back to the VPN during that play session. I have not tested disconnecting the VPN while in other games, but it might work on them.

Access with VPN is so easy these days.

New DMM player blocks foreign access of the game. You can still start the launcher and access the game, but you CANT play on your own PC. New standart launch of the game is the browser version. To play as you usually do, you need a VPN to start the local installed game! (Orange Button: Browser Version | White Button below: Local Installed Version)

 

Anyone not wanting to buy a VPN service, use TUNNELBEAR! It got 500MB free traffic each month, which is enough to start up the game! Just dont download or stream while you have the connection to japanese servers.

Also, install the VPN software while Anti-virus software is disabled or you wont be able to connect to other servers.

The page you linked and quoted from is to troubleshoot the "This service is not available in your region" message at the DMM website. In case people receive the message while they're connecting from Japan, it lists some possible causes. One of the causes is being connected through proxy or VPN.

 

It does not say that VPN or proxies are forbidden to use. It's more like "In case you receive this error while connecting from Japan, please check that you don't route your traffic via a foreign IP".

 

Even if DMM wanted to block all VPN traffic, it wouldn't be easy for them. Most VPN companies today get around VPN blocks either by constantly switching IPs to avoid blocklists or by using obfuscation to make the traffic completely indistinguishable from regular traffic. Large companies like Netflix or countries like China are struggling to block VPNs. I don't see how DMM would succeed where they did not.

 

Also I would imagine a lot of Japanese users are also connecting via VPNs. VPN usage is increasing everywhere and Japan is likely no exception. If DMM somehow managed to block all VPN traffic I don't think the Japanese VPN users would be very happy about it. While they might ignore complaints from foreign users, receiving complaints from Japanese users would be a different story.

 

It remains to be seen if the region block in the beta version of DMM Game Player is even permanent or if it's just for the beta version. Either way you will still be able to play if you start the game while being connected via a VPN server in Japan.

How do you block a VPN? They aren't detectable. I have a VPS hosted in a Japanese Azure datacenter, no way to tell the difference between me and anyone in Japan attempting to connect.

 

On 2/8/2022 at 10:50 PM, misoramen90 said:

lmao it has been there for years dude

 

I don't understand why people don't understand the culture of Japan.

 

Yes, VPN is very hard to block. VPN itself is not against the law, and there are no cases of legal punishment (except for illegal activities via VPN). However, Unauthorized Access using VPN can be considered subject to service suspension. The access to services limited only in Japan via VPN is not what they desired. So many Japanese companies try to block VPN access because they strengthen their domestic and international market. Of course, your VPN connection won't be easily blocked right away. However, from a long-term perspective, many Japanese companies already have a set direction, and Japanese popular community websites have already strengthened their measures against VPNs, and some have successfully defended them.

 

I mentioned it in advance a few months ago, but some people ended up with suspicion and ridicule. However, the new version was eventually released.

Good Luck.

Strongly Agreed.

[starash]

    Perhaps VPNs are not explicitly prohibited and sanctioned by law in most countries, but there is no denying that cross-country VPNs are spoofing the IP nationality of Internet users.
In many online gaming user agreements there should be some sort of penalty for forging a user's nationality.
The only thing that determines whether or not you can legally play is the agreement itself, and since the game has pragmatically blocked your access, you should take the risk of being sanctioned.

    As the saying goes, you should be more humble when you're in a bad situation, after all, you've accepted the agreement in advance and need to avoid making things worse. For example, the Chinese language users who do not even use a translator was behaving in such an out-of-place manner that it is difficult to see if they have any respect for others.

    Finally, if you are concerned about whether KT is not going to allow you to use XVV in your area, just check the agreement and take the risks to avoid future nonsense or to secure grounds for appeal. I'm sure that even those players who have managed to persevere in such a difficult situation have the necessary awareness.

Still waiting for the VPN block...

[Tissue3033]

The Japanese culture is to hate foreigners
Especially the Chinese and Koreans
If you don't believe me, you can read the comments outside of LL

The people who suddenly help DMM are a bit baffling
If you don't want foreigners to come and play, block them from the beginning.
VV has been running for 5 years before evicting people is how
Is everyone who buys a push of DMM points a fool?
Foreigners use up and throw away?
This game at the beginning there are not many people to play

[knight77]

I know that Japan and China have bad history and that they really dont like each other.

But if you wanna have world wide consumers, you cant block the rest of the world. Just saying.

[himawari56]

It seems that some people are saying that VPNs will slow down the game, but VPNs are only used to log in to games, and the VPN can be disconnected as soon as the game starts.

It's not that they don't want to make money from foreign players.
Japanese games will restrict IP because of legal issues. Many adult games in Japan (at least DOAXVV is definitely something that SJW does not like) are limited to Japan when they are released. This way, you can have a good one when overseas SJWs protest. The reason can be explained to them. If they don't do IP restrictions there isn't a good reason to tell SJWs.
Because they know that most players will still continue their favorite games through VPN.

Publishers just have to tell SJWs that VPNs are unstoppable. We have done enough. It is the overseas players themselves who are playing the game by improper means.

Please, do not misunderstand the context (Sorry for my bad english).

 

I meant Japanese Culture as "the characteristic of Japanese market culture which tends to separate and strengthen the domestic and international markets". I thought the text would be enough to understand. I guess Haters only see Hates they have. Anyhow, Japanese major communities like "5Channel(5ちゃんねる, former 2ちゃんねる)" are very active in blocking VPN access. Many other companies have similar goals.

[fgo0/N0uz]

The Japanese will never do anything for foreigners.
Give it up, foreigners!
We, the Empire of Japan, have enough money!
We Japanese alone can easily take first place!

[himawari56]

After the DMM update, no VPN is required anymore. Except for some games that required a VPN to log in before DMM's VPN restrictions appeared. For example senran kagura new link.

Game itself also updated its user aggreements:

After the DMM update, no VPN is required anymore. Except for some games that required a VPN to log in before DMM's VPN restrictions appeared. For example senran kagura new link.
