~ Japan VPN Section ~

Update : I wouldn’t recommend using free vpn server, due recent mass ban on some Game on Japan Server *Not limited to Elsword only*. So becarefull about it

It’s up to you how you can get any Japan VPN, but I will point free and paid service
Free : VPN Gate [http://www.vpngate.net/en/] Academic Research from Tsukuba University Japan. Tutorial : http://www.vpngate.net/en/howto_softether.aspx or Tsunagarumon
+ Free
– Rely on Volunteer sometimes unrealible [But not all, I got VPN from VPN Gate that reliable until now 1 Month+]
Paid : Just google Japan VPN, its many like Vpyr VPN, Express VPN, etc etc

FAQ . . . たぶん

Things that you DO/N’T IT at Elsword Japan

1. PVP : Ping yourself to Google.co.jp see your latency when connected on VPN, if higher than 150ms please dont force to Arena just for !@#$ sake. Beware Elsword Japan got official Twitter Arena for reporting any player that abusing [Lag/Farming]
2. Language : Dont be dumb, we already crossing the line from IP Country Restriction, so dont !@#$ to chat in public beside Japanese Language. Dont know Japanese Language ? Just shut up.
3. Dungeon : Be nice with random party people with say よろ/よろしく/よろです/よろしくお願いします in the dungeon start and おつ/おつかれ/おつかれさま/おつかれさまでした at end of Dungeon. Cant write it ? Keep silent or just shut up. I saw some Foreigner Player [English] idiot for saying Hello when dungeon start and Thx at dungeon end. I dont know If Hangame privacy policy and agreement that allowed language beside Japanese, but In Elsword Korea you would got banned for sure.
~ Additional ~
Do
1. Love Me <3
2. Be Nice with any player [Like say what I write on point number 3 above, usually keep quiet just OK, but better you learn a simple greetings like よろしく or おつかれ would be great]
3. Keep Low profile and dont make unnecessary attention
4. Install Japanese IME [Optional but recommended for looking item on Market Board]
Don’t
1. Hate Me </3
2. PVP [150ms] or Dungeon Party Search [200ms] f you’re got high Latency [more than that were unacceptable !] [Because I got once that a Japanese player ask the party who’s the lagger, that time was Me :laugh: ]
3. Chat your language on public, Japanese Language is a Must for Speaking on Public [Unless they know your language, keep it PM / Whipser] [I hear a story that some Japanese people that really really hate foreigner on PSO2]
Personal Note : Please dont do anything stupid on Elsword Japan, We already have a chance to play at wonderful server, so if you not serious playing at this server just leave this server alone !

Things that I Don’t know until now at Elsword Japan

1. How to Recharge Hancoin :laugh: If anyone know, please tell me. Need those B Slot :laugh: Seems impossible unless you ask Japanese Player to send via gift to you

CURRENT ISSUE – IP Address Security Lock

Just a tips, better you don’t change your IP too much since it can trigger Account Security Lock
As far as I can understand with their Customer Service, there was a System that automatically lock your account based on Unfarmiliar IP Address (Especially that you dont have any long-term-VPN)
Image just like this

How to Unlock ? Inquiry at Hangame Elsword Inquiry page

 

[Expired] PERMANENT BAN TRADE

Some of My Guildmate got permanent Ban Trade [New Character Ban trade already expired], simply they can trade / search board / enter market. I already open support ticket with errrr somewhat google-translated Japanese (sorry but I just know the basic grammar fundamental) and still no reply from Hangame.
If you know something about this please comment at this page with Opening “[HOT] CURRENT ISSUE – PERMANENT BAN TRADE” Any help will be useful for anyone that play at Elsword Japan [Since KR already moving to cleaning non-Korean People play there]
*Not sure If this one permanent or not
Trade / Market Lock already issued by Hangame, If your ID still got Trade / Market lock please send support inquiry on Hangame Inquiry page !
Update : WATCH-OUT TRADE / MARKET LOCK STILL EXIST, seems they filter by IP Address !
Update : I already got explanation from Hangame Customer Service, they said there is a bug on their system that prevent player from trade / market / search board. The suggestion from Hangame Customer Service just wait. Dunno if they got Market Revamp @ 12 March, [since they already posted here something about premium service shop that changed to 15 Slot *like a Market Revamp right ?*].
Since I got the lock too on 26 Feb 2014 Maintenance
Already fixed on My ID

    Great guide!
    But one thing. sorry for the stupid question.
    I am currently having the trade ban issue and I’m kinda confused about what to do. It just happened suddenly. Could you please tell me more details?

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      Just open Opinion and Request Inquiry at their FAQ Page, fill with your information and you’re good to go

      Note : There is no instant release, wait 2~3 days while they processing your request

      Oh…well damn.
      Japanese Elsword sure got strong security.

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      Because yesterday My guildmate got locked again for trade and market after release 3 days ago :laugh:

      I dont get any lock since already more than half a year I played there :happy:

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      I’ve been playing JP Elsword since 2 months and when I was like still level 1-20 I could enter the market fine but nowadays the game shows me 「取引制限状態のため、取引広場に入場できません。」、I think it happens to those who disconnect VPN at Hangame’s site while having their account logged in.(VPN sometimes disconnects with me automatically and I have to reconnect so XD. but not 100% sure if it’s because of that.)

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      According some people from Elwiki, that because the IP you use already used for abused things like multiple id registration, farming, etc etc.

      That block as far as i know start from Dec 2013. My Main and useless ID were unaffected and still go for market as usual.

      “I think it happens to those who disconnect VPN at Hangame’s site while having their account logged in”

      Not really, I sometimes forgot to start vpn connection and open browser for login (I set always login on Hangame), and just got IP Validation Country Failed :laugh: and My Ingame Character were unaffected

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      Ahhhhh. I now understand. XD

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      Um hello there. I’ve created my JP account in 2013 late May and it never let me search for things on board, but I guess I know why now. xD But I’m wondering if you happen to know a way to get around it/fix it? (would it still be the IP address problem in this case or the bug you mentioned?) I also did go to the inquiry page but it was asking for more stuff I can put down I think. o-o
      I really wanna be able to check the prices of their ice burner stuff and see what there econ is like overall. ;-;

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      Sorry but how do I buy cash for Japan server? Also, do you have any good guides I could use for training and such? Since Elesis is new I do not know how to job advance T.T

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      Until now since it not possible for foreigner for buying cash at Elsword Japan, since they need Identity Registeration (i dont think that one can be fake)

      Class Change ? Just look at Elesis @ Elwiki

      Everything can be bought using ED Except Slot B and Pet Fetch Aura *since I got all of My Stuff from ED*

      Naek Level ? EXP table lebih kecil daripada Elsword IDN

      ED ? Semenjak market revamp lebih nguras otak buat cari ED nya, tp pasti ada cara kok :laugh:

      Bukan mau mendewakan Elsword JP tapi perbandingan basicnya

      Elsword IDN : 100k Voucher = Nothing
      Elsword JP : No Real Money used = Full Ice Burner 2 set [Gold Falcon + Glacial Princess] + 2 Pet [Uniring + Foxy] + Mount [Phoru] + item2 laen yang totalnya sampe 7~9 T/B/G [T = Triliun / B = Billion / G = Giga]

    Thanks for the tutorial. I always wanted to play the game in Japanese.
    But, as someone who tried the method, what kind of problems did you face so far?

    I want to start, but I want to know more about it. I’m already playing PSO2
    And I always talk in Japanese, because I believe that is the right thing to do.
    My Japanese teacher told me that Japanese like it when other people talk their language.
    In my point of view, It’s all about manner.

    So, do you think i can manage there or should I just give up, Kurisutaru-san?

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      No problem so far, just got trouble when VPN Server that I use to play goes off / disappeared.

      or when you want to recharge cash, since I can’t properly talk to Native Japanese, I can’t confirm about cash thingy *Of course I want bought something from IM using ED*

      “i can manage there or should I just give up”

      If you fluent / barely can speak Japanese with Native Japanese people then why give up ?
      I never talk to Native Japanese actually, since I really really only basic level of Japanese Language and haven’t continue to take Japanese course becoz finance problem.

      So far I love Elsword Japan more than My country one

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      I see. I can see that game cash might pose a problem. Even if we tried to use webmoney
      It still about the ip address and such.

      Yeah, I can barley speak Japanese.

      Regarding learning Japanese, if you want, I can share the class files we use to learn Japanese.
      Most of them are Kanji writing and some exercises.
      So far, I have only about 6X kanji, because these are the ones I learned so far.
      As I learn more, I will share the newest files too, is it OK with you?

      Why I want to share them?
      Consider it as “thank you” for your effort on guiding others for a way to play Elsword JP.
      Here, hoping that it will be helpful to you.

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      Not about IP, Elsword Japan need Identity Registration to recharge their cash and I dont think this one can be faked. This things that I can’t confirmed yet *half assed Japanese Language :laugh: *

      Hmm kanji still far far away from mine, although I got basic kanji.
      Still pure only how-to-use grammar thingy *I use book name みんなの日本語 I*

      Since 1 May I got work, seems I can continue to take Japanese Course *somewhat in Indonesia, Private Japanese Course really expensive :cry: *

      As consider for ‘Thank you’, its more better that You pray this site will life last longer :laugh: *No just kidding* Just pray the best for Me :happy:

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      I see. That’s bad, because, having that skill slot is important.

      Good luck. I will give Elsword JP a try.

      Once again, thanks for everything.

    Hi there Kurisutaru.

    do you know how to solve my problem, my problem started when I treid to play elsword with vpyrVPN. Damn I wasted money on this shit. The game starts and than close buy self.
    can ya help me there?

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      Game close got many reason behind it, can you specify more detail ?

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      You know to play elsword you need to start it from the site right. There is two pages that you can start
      the game with. The first page this. http://elsword.hangame.co.jp/ I click on start and nothing happens
      but when I click here http://elsword.hangame.co.jp/lp/download.nhn where it says to start the game after download finish
      It connect and the game window appears and then it stay black and then it close. is there a way
      to start game from the program just like any online game?

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      Nope you can’t, mostly Japanese Game launch from their site because some game got region lock.

      Try to turn off your antivirus or firewall

    •  

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      But I tried this before and it worked. http://tsunagarumon.com/entry/ the only problrm with this was close after period of time. so now when i start with vpyrVPN it doesn’t work.

      Nov 30, -0001 12:00 AM

      Make sure you select JP Server and check your IP.
