maybe it's something like tobacco/alcohol excises? mmo is a royal waste of time so mb japanese gov't thinks they should discourage this kind of activity by making it more expensive.

have you tried paying via plex purchased in game? if it works you could try dealing with in game friends who live in other coutries but that could be perceived as illegal RMT and get you banned, oh well...

i think at this point, the silence says far more than anything else. both the CSM and CCP seem to have ignored the problem entirely. i guess they didnt want japan anyway.

The bumping needs to stop as its against the forum rules.

If you have something constructive to add to the post then please do. Do not post just for the sake of keeping it on the front page.

Then tell me? When is CCP going to add something constructive to the topic? Or anything new for that matter?

They still are not answering the rumor that you can use maple story botting to play EVE that is VERY SERIOUS and potentially even more so than forcing an entire country to use a 3rd party to connect.

Careful how you mention that, last time i brought it up(different thread) it was shut down. (hence the reason i was being so delicate last post)

I just read the December minute notes, and this issue was raised before that, and wasn't mentioned.

How about an answer CCP? You know to your customers? Even a "ive asked someone, and they will respond shortly(tm)" would be better than silence.

As a player who is constantly travelling to non-US countries, I am very interested to know if this will be implmented. If it is, does CCP have similar plans for other countries. Attempting to find out who I have to log in through to log into Eve to do Important Internet Spaceship things and keeping track of all the various providers would be a very good reason for me to find something else to do in my off hours.

Yes, this is a bump back to the top and I DID have something constructive to add/ask. The same thing as everyone else, what is the official status of this issue?

I think the more likely reason for this agreement is to also to reach out to all of Nexxons "Current" Customers that can be marketed to easily.


If they have 14 other MMOs and other games along with it, that's a captive audience that will quickly switch over to EVE (i'm sure a very high quality MMO in comparison) and bring immediate results.


Although I disagree with being FORCED to use Nexxon, I think a partnership was a smart idea to get lots of people in quickly. Unfortunately, I think the mandatory nature of Nexxon is obviously the main disturbing part of the billing process, and is really unnecessary.

Where I am.

the fact that there has been absolute and complete silence on this is... shocking, actually.

There will be more information released on this topic closer to the official launch. With that in mind, I will see if I can get something for you sooner.

Thanks for posting. As I have previously posted, there are Japanese players that are still completely uninformed about this Nexon billing thing (no Emails, no official announcements from CCP, only word of mouth). I see nothing on Nexons site (only the EVE trailers and "coming soon" ad) either. And when you decide to announce something, please post a Japanese version of it on this forum's Japanese section. A small notifying word on the Japanese chat channel MOTD will be nice too, since many Japanese players don't even know that a Japanese section exists.

I know, and I will try to get some info for you ASAP. We will definitely make a post on the Japanese forums and use other means to spread the word.

Thankyou spitfire,

As myxx said, there are quite a few of us wondering about this, and also posting in this thread - or making a dev blog - will help the non japanese a LOT! (some of us go there frequently for work, and ill actually be there for quite a while coming soon, frankly using nexxon isnt really going to cut it).

Going with the whole "no feedback accepted" routine again, despite concerns of exploits and cheats fundamental in the proposed change.

CCP never changes.

Apologies for the delay. Oops

Formal announcements about key price points and special launch offers (exclusively for existing players) will be made in the next few weeks. Once again I’d like to point out that we intend to offer competitive prices in Japan. We’ll make sure everyone has a chance to get acquainted with this information (via Account Management, the Japanese forum section, emails etc.) so that the players who have not received our email announcements so far won’t have to rely on word of mouth alone.

In the meantime, I’d like to mention again that ETC will remain a valid payment method for Japan-based players after the switch to Nexon billing.

Thank you Spitfire.

Since the implementation of (test version of) Japanese UI, I see more new Japanese people in the Japanese language channel, and I often see them talking about Nexon stuff. "Considering the average Korean MMO prices, may be it's going to be like 3,000 yen / month?", "I bet there's Nexon exclusive P2W stuff coming", "Yeah definitely lol" and so on. They practically have no access to all these English threads and of course the announcement Email that was sent before.

It's like less than 2 months to go anyway. Looking forward to hearing from you pretty soon :)
