Hello!
I too, am one of the many players who are unable to connect to the servers even after I have updated the launcher and .Net.
I found this in Gamigo.de's forum for the european version of Fiesta Online and would like to know if this could be the cause to our problems ?!?!
Official Statement: EU / US IP Block
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Community,
following an announcement by Outspark here is our official comment on the IP blocking issue. Unfortunately, though we were in active discussions about this with Outspark, they made their announcement wthout consulting us on the specifics, so some things are not clear to us yet. Let me point out what we (gamigo) know or don't know yet:
a) IP block will happen
Outspark will block all European IPs inclusing Switzerland and Turkey. This is both for new and existing players. Also gamigo already blocks IPs from the US, Canada and Mexico.
b) Timeline about the IP block
We are blocking US, Canadian and Mexican IPs already. Outspark has not informed us when they will start to block European IPs, however we expect that German and English countries will be first followed by French and Spanish a bit later in the year (since we have not launched these languages yet).
c) Charakter transfer or bonuses for existing US players
gamigo would like to offer a charakter transfer for European players on the US servers to a dedicated EU "Advanced Server" that should be identical in scope to the current US version (with re-worked translation and minor adaptions that we'll do for EU). However, we have no confirmation yet if a) a transfer is technically possible or b) if Outspark agrees to one.
If there is no transfer we'll try to give bonuses to existing players based on the amount of money they spend in the US.
Let me again apologize that you did not hear this from us first, we were ourselves suprised by the email from Outspark (though we thank them for the clear statement). We will inform you about the open questions above as soon as we know!
Kind regards,
Alpha and the team at gamigo
