There have been multiple reports on a fan-run subreddit of players being kicked out of the game and being slapped with a permanent ban simply because they were playing from outside of Japan. A number of Japanese players also reportedly got caught in the net. Interestingly, the community’s opinion on the matter is divided, with some fans ing the move and others arguing against it.
Meanwhile, Bandai Namco is working to address various issues in the game, including a bug that prevents players from leaving a mission once it’s completed. The team has yet to roll out a permanent fix for the problem but has introduced a band-aid solution which will check a character’s status every 10 minutes and automatically move them out of completed missions while they try to fix the underlying cause of the issue.
Smilegate has also confirmed that the South Korean version of Blue Protocol will be launching sometime this year. Although an exact timetable has not been provided, the studio has assured fans that they can expect high-quality localization that will capture the “fun and charm” of the fantasy MMORPG.
