IP Filter Implementation.

[Guntrix]

Hello all GunZ fans,

I must admit that it has a while since I posted an announcement last time.
We, the MAIET team, has been working very hard to support ijji to provide you the best service.
I know there has been quite a few problems at ijji GUNZ, but please understand that ijji GUNZ has only started recently and is still in Open Beta phase.
They are doing better job than MAIET hosting iGUNZ don't you think?

Well, what I would like to bring up today is the IP Filter Implementation.
Within a week or so, we will put a country IP filter on ijji GUNZ.
The Filter will not block most of you, but only Korean, Japanese, Brazilian, Filipino, and Indian users.
Please do not make any false guesses out of this.
The filter is to block out players from countries where they have their own publisher like Brazil.

I repeat again:
ONLY KOREA, JAPAN, BRAZIL, PHILIPPINES, AND INDIA WILL BE BLOCKED FROM IJJI GUNZ.

ijji will make an official announcement about this sooner or later to give you more detailed information about this.

By the way, the development of the new Quest Mode is almost finished.
Some of it is already implemented on KGUNZ and it will soon be here, too.
ijji GUNZ will have it within a month, so please be patient and do not bother dschang with this matter. ^_^;

Thank you always for loving GunZ.
I love you all, too. ^____________^

Allow me to be the first to reply here:

Good news it seems. But i ask this question in the name of many people: What will happen to igunz? Many people would like to stay in igunz(either because ijji gunz does not work properly for them or they do not want to lose their levels),are very angry at MAIET and are demanding an answer to this. Will igunz be fixed? Please answer.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSS.

I can't wait.

Thank you guy's, sir.

So within a month ijji-Gunz quest mode will have all those bosses and monster bible?

[Unknown-]

I guess this is good. Still. Might you be able to fix the phantom lag. Thank you.

I am talking here not as a moderator, but a concerned Pinoy player.

Trix, Philippine Gunz is not yet out of the market, so I would find it unfair if you'd block us from Ijji Gunz. And if it is to be released, when are the possible dates?

I'm not in dire need for Philippine Gunz, since I'm enjoying my stay in Ijji Gunz with my friends.

Please Trix... T_T;

Fixed a spelling error

Take note of the above rant Guntrix... I hope you'll change your mind.

On a more related note,

I may not be affected by this IP block, but it seems unfair to the pinoy users as pGunZ or whatever it's going to be called has showed no signs of a release, yet.

Are they expected to fall back to iGunZ, where the servers are poorly-maintained, hold only several dozen people, and lag frequently? If I recall correctly, the iGunZ servers are currently very unstable, with lots of hacks like mega powerlevel running free.

Remember that a large and considerable portion of the GunZ community are from the Philippines, and if they have no service to retreat to(except iGunZ, which isn't very appealing at the moment), they might just be forced to leave. A loss of players and potential customers.

[Deseas]

That's awesome news. Thank you Guntrix! The full version of Quest is going to be awesome!! That and blocking those IP's will reduce the chance in running into someone which lives far away, thus reducing lag over-all.

[Soliloquy_]

Thanks Zeph and Turundo for your eager replies. I appreciated your concern. *bows*

Please allow me to pour out my thoughts, as this announcement is still bugging me as of this posting...

Out of the countries Trix mentioned, only the Philippines don't have its own local Gunz. Some of my online Pinoy friends asked me when will PGunz be released, but I can't give any concrete answer. Being a moderator doesn't give me all the information I need. And hell, some Pinoys don't even know that there is already an Ijji Gunz.

And about IGunz...
To tell the truth, there are quite alot of online games here in the country that -forgive me for what I'll say- are better than IGunz (not Ijji Gunz). But there are still a few of us dedicated to Gunz, and would remain loyal. Such a move will leave us no choice but to leave the game, the very game that we loved and enjoyed.

December last year, a lot of Pinoys moved out of Gunz after the Locust Plague and the yearend downtime. And now, the few remaining players will also be out of the Gunz map.

I guess history does repeat itself. =[

Maybe Guntrix made an error... probably, check out this quote :

He accidentally add in phillipines... or maybe releasing P-GunZ at the last minute? But if so... there should be an annoucement about this too, please correct this information ASAP, Guntrix. A lot of pinoys are getting annoyed/worried about it.

[_Zephyre_]

There is no mistake. pGunZ has been announced, so it probably has a publisher.

It's also not helping the way the pleas of the players to know about the future of iGunZ is ignored.

[shintenzu]

I am seriously dissapointed that the supporters for IP blocks have won this battle. I know the reason for the current IP blocks is so that Kgunz, BrGunz, KGunz, and InGunz dont loose their costumers, but why is that much of a problem? If your issue is money, wouldn't you still recieve cash from when they buy preiums from ijji gunz? Whats next, all americans will be banned from all the other gunz too? I definitely think this move was uncalled for, not only are you hurting yourself as your will definitely loose some costumers from this, but you are also hurting countless players from brasil gunz who came to ijji cuz lvl up had the balls to make gunz pay to play. So much for this quote on gunzonline.com:

What makes GunZ ever better than other games is the fact that the game is available online to all users! In addition, GunZ is 100% FREE to play.

Then again it wouldn't be the first time maiet has not stayed true to their word. As for the philipines who play gunz, you SHOULD NOT IMPOSE AN IP BLOCK. Many americans would say that they don't care, less lag for them, but you gotta realize they have NO game option to fall back to. Many do not speak japanese, korean, indian, or brazillian so they cant choose those, plus the fact that their own game is not up yet. If you say Igunz is an option, please realize that it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. The handful of players you see there are people with the admin console hack.

For those who are celebrating this IP block, i hope you realize that america is next to be banned from all other versions of the game. Meaning all you guys out there with premiums on your K or J gunz could loose them. Think about that before you celebrate. All those who support IP blocks are just selfish and conceited people who could care less about the hundreds or thousands of foriener who enjoy the game just as much as you do. So in order for you to reduce your average ping but 20-50 measily points, you would rather have every other nation unable to play. Learn to leadshot for crying out loud, has Igunz taught you nothing? Concietedness (sp) at its best

[Guntrix]

There will be a change in iGUNZ, obviously not full version but yeah.
iGUNZ will still be in open beta phase. Please don't expect too much out of this.

As for Philippinos, they will have their own version soon.
Yes. There already is a publisher for it.

A sad day for Brazilian and pinoy players. Stupid move MAIET.
